GREENSBURG, Pa. - Charges have been dropped against a woman who paid for clothes with a fake $200 bill that featured President Bush's picture and the serial number DUBYA4U2001.

Westmoreland County prosecutors dropped all charges Friday against Deborah L. Trautwine, 51, after she paid the store in real currency. Trautwine wasn't aware that the bill wasn't actual legal tender, said her attorney, Harry Smail Jr.

A clerk at a Fashion Bug clothing store also apparently was fooled by the funny money. She gave Trautwine $100.58 in change following an August transaction.

There is no $200 denomination bill, even without Bush's picture on it. The back of the phony bill depicted the White House with several signs erected on the front lawn, including those reading "We Like Broccoli" and "USA Deserves A Tax Cut."

She probably voted for Kerry though!

Mike,
you left an article about Hilary Clinton on the bathroom floor...
was it for me, or is that what you REALLY read!?
;-)))

haha The Economist magazine is good reading. I know its easier for the liberals to say I know nothing, and am brainwashed - but I read from all sides.

Hillary cannot win Nation wide office in the US. Not now, not in 4 years, 8 years, 20 years....
