Fairly unbalanced President (sic) visits San Diego.
We extend a laurel and hardy handshake...or not:
Several hundred protesters, virtually all of them well-behaved, accused President Bush of everything from failed public policies to devil worship during a demonstration outside the San Diego Convention Center yesterday.
The crowd was loud but orderly, and also very creative. One man was dressed up as Pinocchio, except his fake long nose was attached to a mask of the president. Someone wore a T-shirt declaring, "A village in Texas is missing an idiot."
Just after 5 p.m., about 45 minutes before Bush arrived at the Convention Center for an evening speech and political fund-raiser, one group of protesters dangled a giant pink banner from an upper floor of the Hilton San Diego across the street.
"Bush, You Lied, You're Fired," the banner declared. A member of San Diegans Against Bush's First Illegal War said the banner represented a pink slip.
Just to be fair and balanced:
Bush supporters were almost impossible to find in this crowd. There was at least one, however. Her name is Delores Daw, a 65-year-old retired legal secretary who lives in Coronado. She showed up in a modest pink blouse and pink hat, declared her political allegiance to anyone who asked and endured any number of taunts and insults as a result.
She said she simply wanted to show support for the president, whom she praised for "making this country safer."
"I don't think President Bush is the sort of man who is a warmonger," she said. "He knows a lot more than I do."
How sad is that?
