Opponents Want Bush Barred From Summit

The Associated Press

Opponents of President Bush launched a protest drive Wednesday urging court authorities to keep him from attending a November summit in Argentina, saying his presence would raise security concerns.

Lia Mendez, a candidate in Argentina's upcoming congressional elections, rallied with other members of the small Humanist Party outside the court complex where they sought a court order barring Bush from the Summit of the Americas.

Although analysts said the opposition drive had little chance of success, the protesters gained attention by handing out leaflets on the courthouse steps.

"Bush puts our lives in danger," said the leaflets. "Ask the courts to keep him out."

5. Dear Argentina: How about a compromise?
Let him IN.

Just don't let him OUT.

And remember, I've got this US$23.14 that I'm STILL offering to any country who'll just KEEP the little twit there next time he shows up to spread some of his extra-special bushy goodness all over you!

Hey, it's a win-win situation. For your country. For my country. For the world.

What say you?

They get it. How come *WE* (=Americans in general) don't get it?
