Maybe Now It's A Purple State
Salt Lake City, Utah, mayor Rocky Anderson protested his city's guest-in-chief Monday.
President Bush was in Salt Lake City, Utah, Monday to address more than 6,000 people at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) annual convention. While there, he tried once again to defend our failures in Iraq.
Meanwhile, thousands gathered outside the convention to protest Bush. Among those leading the protest was the city's mayor, Rocky Anderson.
All of this is significant because in November, Utah was the redest of the red states. Bush enjoyed a larger margin of victory there than in any other state.
This veteran is an example of true patriotism.
Meanwhile, one veteran inside the convention also protested Bush. His protest was so creative, it's my Idea of the Week.
Bill Moyer, a 73-year-old veteran, was seen wearing "Bullshit Protector" flaps over his ears while Bush addressed the VFW convention. Unfortunately, I had to look to the Canadian press for that story.
In the spirit of that brave veteran, download your own "Bullshit Protectors."
