re: Anti-Bushism

200,000 Americans, and they interviewed, what, six? Two of whom were correspondents for Newsweek and the New York Times? No wait. We really don't know how many they interviewed, do we? We just see the ones they printed.

A good follow-up question for these interviewees would have been "did you support Bush before all this happened?"

I was treated no differently in London than anyone else. In fact, I don't think I heard a single political comment the whole time I was there, except for one lady manning a permanent demonstration in a park near Parliament.

In Nice, I visited a park high up on a bluff overlooking the ocean, and a total stranger, some old guy, heard me talking to my kids. He came up to me, said he was from England, shook my hand, and said he was damn glad that Bush had done what he had done.

Sure the myrmidons will be out yelling at Bush when he gets there. If there's one thing the Left excels at, it's collective action.
