The scarriest part of this article was the poll that acompanied it (not shown here) that asked if the reader was aware that there is no real $200 dollar bill with dubya on it. Almost 10% did not know.

Charges Dropped After Woman Uses Fake Bush $200 Bill

GREENSBURG, Pa. -- President George W. Bush may have won re-election but he hasn't earned a place on U.S. currency.
That's news to a couple of people in Pennsylvania.
Authorities in Pennsylvania are dropping charges against a woman who used a phony $200 bill featuring Bush.
The fake bill has the current president's face on the front with the serial number DUBYA-4-U-2001. There's a picture of the White House on the back with several signs erected on the front lawn, including those reading "We Like Broccoli" and "USA Deserves A Tax Cut."
Deborah Trautwine was charged with passing the bogus $200 bill. Her attorney said she was unaware the currency was fake.
A clerk at a store called the Fashion Bug was also fooled and took the funny money and gave Trautwine more than $100 in change. For the record, there's no $200 bill -- and no currency with President Bush's picture.
The charges were dropped after the woman repaid the store in full.
