Mysterious Pro-Bush Billboard in Minnesota. (Minnesota Public Radio)
Check out This sign, brashly emblazoned with the smirking face of our former President. It looms over I-35, near the somewhat confusingly named town of Wyoming, Minnesota.
Originally, the general consensus (on the net) was that the photo was, well, a little unreal. There was no such billboard… the picture was a less-than-clever Photoshoped rendition.
Not so! declares Bob Collins of Minnesota Public Radio: “It was late at night and I wasn’t sure I’d seen the billboard correctly as I whizzed past it on I-35 in Wyoming last week on the way back from Wrenshall. But an e-mailer confirms I saw what I thought I saw.”
Mr. Collins is just as puzzled as the rest of us as to who paid to have the sign placed.
“Wish I could take credit for it,” says Sheldon Anderson, Mayor of Wyoming. A representative from an anti-Democrat group claims he gets “…calls every day asking if it was me.”
Continuing, he claims: “The person who I thought (erected the sign) did not put up the billboard. He has been contacted about keeping it up if the current owner takes it down.”
Would you claim that you wish that you had funded this monstrosity? Or maybe this is no monstrosity at all?
