Protesters Corner Jeb Bush in Pa.
PITTSBURGH -- Protesters greeted Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on his way to a campaign event for a Pennsylvania senator, and he briefly took refuge in a subway station supply closet to avoid the anti-Republican demonstrators.

The president's brother encountered protesters on their way to join a demonstration outside the exclusive Duquesne Club, where Sen. Rick Santorum, a Republican, was holding a fundraiser Friday.

Officers used stun guns to subdue two protesters, saying they disobeyed orders to disperse, said Bob Grove, a Port Authority spokesman.

"It was a very tense situation. They were very close to the governor and shouting on top of him," Grove said.

2. At least no one was arrested arrested for exercising their rights

"It was a very tense situation. They were very close to the governor and shouting on top of him," Grove said.

Bush was not injured.

The protesters, made up of members of the United Steelworkers union and the anti-war group Uprise Counter Recruitment, chanted, "Jeb go home," and said Bush blew them a kiss.

5. YEAH FOR MY HOME TOWN!!!!! I was born in Pgh, and I know the
Duquesne Club well! I certainly wasn't able to be a member, first becaue I'm a female, and second I don't have anywhere near enough money or social status. I did attend an event there once, via invitation from our Corporate Bank. It's very Old Money, mahogany panneling and all!

I'm very proud of my fellow Pittsburgers for forcing the idiots bro into the closet!!!!

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
