Chicken George was the name for a man in a chicken costume who shadowed George Bush Sr. through a portion of the 1992 U.S. presidential election. The media really picked up on the idea, which caused George Sr. considerable embarassment.
Bush first began being called chicken by Democrats when he refused to agree to the debate format determined by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
After President George W. Bush Jr. refused to speak with Cindy Sheehan, the new Chicken George appeared for the first time in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a placard saying:
"George: scared to meet Cyndy?"
CNN, Fox news, Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune all mentioned "Chicken George" in their reporting.
Yesterday, Tuesday, August 23rd, "chicken george" again appeared at the protest in Boise.
On Monday August 29th, chicken george will appear in Phoenix, Az to greet the President once again.
