Congressman Reichert : A Tattletale and a Braggart

reichert-sm.jpgDave Reichert not only admits that he tattled on a school-bus driver who flipped off President Bush, he brags about it. And David Postman of the Seattle Times has it on tape.

An excerpt from Reichert's speech at the King County Republican picnic in August:

And as the motorcade went by, the President and I drove by on I-5, the President was having a great time. He was waving at everybody, he waved at the kids. He got the biggest kick out of the kids leaning out the window to say hello to the President of the United States.

The sad part of it is though, we got to the last bus — and I won't tell you which school district this was — the bus driver flipped the President off.

So the very next day, you know what I did? I called the superintendent of that school district and that bus driver no longer works for that school.

Stay classy, Dave.
