'Miss Me Yet?' Billboard With Photo Of Bush Is Real; Not An Internet Trick

By Mark Memmott

Internet chatter had led to speculation that it might be an urban myth --
nothing more than clever digital trickery spreading via the Web.

But our friend Bob Collins at Minnesota Public Radio assures us he's seen it
with his own eyes:

There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of
former president George W. Bush and this question: "Miss Me Yet?"

Now, the push is on to find out who paid to have it put up.

Bob says there's no readily apparent claim of ownership on the billboard, so
he's heading back to the scene to see if he can find out who's behind the
message. He's also got some local politicos looking into it. He'll keep us
posted.

At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn't
thrilled by President Barack Obama's performance so far -- unless it's a more
ironic message from those who didn't think too much of Bush and want to remind
voters about him.

Anyone out there know anything about where it came from? Tell us and we'll pass
the word to Bob. As he says, we could do a little crowdsourcing.
