That BoingBoing post has a link that will get you to the georgewbush site through some sort of nefarious underground network. However, it still won’t connect to the videos, which means I still haven’t seen the world-famous-for-cuteness Wolves commercial (I’m in Taiwan). Curses.

Anyone have any idea how they are doing this? I suppose the easiest way would be to filter all netblocks assigned to RIPE and APNIC. Is anyone from Latin American having problems?

I am assuming that cdc is making the jest when he points to www.georgewbush.org as the Bush re-election site, since that is a parody site, made by the whitehouse.org people.

Hm, I can reach http://www.georgewbush.org from overseas just fine. Don’t know what you all are complaining about…

I think it’s been inaccessible in Japan since early summer, if not longer. I can never get Pandagon either. No idea why.

Given the frequency of double- and triple-posted comments on this site, I’m not sure CT should be throwing stones at other folks’ website management. ;-)

I’ve had this trouble trying to get on the site from Singapore. The trouble does go back a couple months, but I didn’t really think much of the fact that the two times I tried to visit I couldn’t. Figured I just had bad luck. Before now I timed out, now I’m forbidden access.

I live in Japan and can confirm that I have been unable to access the GWB site since (at least) August. It times out, as you noted.

As noted on BoingBoing, one can reach the site on: https://georgewbush.com/, and http://65.172.163.222/ . This, of course, is at best a dubious prize to obtain. But it is entirerly possible.
