Bush-Orwell ‘04 today discovered a disrespectful and poorly-designed parody of the official campaign site which is spreading false information regarding George W. Bush’s record as President.
The official Bush-Orwell site, located on the internet at GWBush04.com, plans to file a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission to stop the phony site from operating. The parody site, currently found on the web at georgewbush.com, is clearly designed to mimic the official Bush-Orwell site in an effort to confuse ordinary Americans.
Presidential Adviser Karl Rove took issue specifically with how President Bush’s record is depicted on the fake site.
“My beef is with the way georgewbush.com misrepresents the actual record of George W. Bush,” Rove said. “For instance, the site seems to communicate that Bush has a positive record when it comes to the environment. That just isn’t true. The skies and oceans are much more polluted now than when Bush came into office, and he’s never done a thing to reverse that.”
“Also, on the issue of education, the parody site cleverly infers that the Leave No Child Behind Act actually made a difference to the nation’s education woes,” Rove said. “Clearly, the facts dispute this claim. Leave No Child Behind is under funded and is definitely leaving children behind.”
A spokesman for the official Bush-Orwell campaign said that the parody site in question includes naked pictures of Jenna Jameson and a feature designed for “bloggers” allowing them to include Bush news on their own websites. Both features were originally pioneered by the Communications Team of the official Bush-Orwell campaign.
No terrorist group has stepped forward yet to claim responsibility for creation of the site.
