Question re: Bush's planned trip to NOLA on the anniversary of Katrina

[Donnachaidh]

Is there any sort of protesting scheduled? Is MoveOn, or any of the other groups getting people down their to protest this *official photo-op*?

1. ugh. i can't believe that asshole would have the audacity to show

his stupid, ugly face there.

[Donnachaidh]

2. my thoughts too -- but he is (from what the MSM is touting)

I would think that somebody would get a group down there to make lots of noise.

3. They'll be herded off to some area far enough away that his

tender eyes and ears won't be offended. What a piece of work.

5. and that'd be a travesty of justice and the bill of rights

dim son should have to hear the hundreds of people who would appear to tell him they don't like him, but he'll be treated with dim son-gloves and coddled into believing he's a hero who is returning...

4. When is he going to be here?

The 29th is the 2nd anniversary of landfall, it is also the start of Southern Decadence in NOLA. Southern Decadence is Gay "Mardi Gras." We have people coming in from around the world! The streets, especially Bourbon, will be FILLED, sidewalk to sidewalk, with homos (and friendly heteros)! Could be a VERY interesting combination! :)

6. That would be beautiful

8. Hope you do!

It is a fun time. Check out my post in the GLBT forum. It has links to events that will be happening (as well as hotels, etc.).
