Bush, and his lack of involvement in the movement to impeach President Bush, the organizers of the event asked security to remove the student, and the rest is history.		This is one of the better music videos made for “Don’t Tase Me Bro.” However, “Don’t Tase Me Bro” inspired more than just YouTube responses.
