[Emboldened Chimp]

CNN has it as the top pic in their story with this headline:



Mass anti-Bush protest in London (note that it's anti-Bush, not anti-war)

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Thousands have marched in London in protest against U.S. President George Bush's policies on Iraq though the main shadow over his state visit to Britain was cast by the deadly bombings in Turkey.

More than 5,500 police were on duty for the London march which ended with the toppling of a giant papier mache and chicken wire effigy of the U.S. president meant to echo the symbolic toppling of a statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad.

By early evening the demonstration had been peaceful. Scotland Yard said there had been 53 arrests on charges including drunkenness and possession of drugs.

1. Topple the Little Turd from Crawford!

I like it. He even looks like the 14-karat gold-plated turd he is.

2. What a MORON

"The nature of the terrorists is evidenced once again -- we see their utter contempt for innocent life. They hate freedom, they hate free nations."

This literally sounds like something a 6 year old would say. How embarassing.
