Grim Reaper greets Bush in Canada: ‘GWB, I am your biggest fan’

During a visit to speak in Canada Tuesday, former president George W. Bush was met with signs, songs, screams and a black-clad Grim Reaper. And a little applause.

Protesters outside the speech carried signs emblazoned with such phrases as "Bush is a war criminal," "Bush lied, 1,000s died" and "Canada is not Bush Country," according to a Canadian press report. As a crowd mushroomed, police erected metal barricades.

Bush spoke at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton where he led a talk, "A Conversation with George Bush." Tickets to the event ranged from $30 to $100. All 2,000 tickets sold out, and ticketholders were frisked and made to show their tickets twice upon entrance.

One protester carried a nine-foot tall Grim Reaper tagged with signs that said "GWB I am your biggest fan" and "Thanks for 8 great years."

    • To bad the Grim Reaper isn't on the lookout for Dick Cheney. If that lying, fat SOBs heart explodes today it won't be soon enough. Fuck Dick Cheney and all of his neo-con ass puppets.

    • LOL. Good on my fellow Canadian. Wish I'd seen it first hand! But sorry, it doesn't beat the guy who actually stuck a pie in Cretien's face when he was PM.

    • Holy shit I'm still spellbound at the thought that people actually pay to hear Bush speak. We had to listen to him since he was President, but now? Amazing that they can find 2 people to listen to him, much less 2,000. Guess I should file it under 'believe it, or not'.
