13. Fifteen in all.
A line of white shirts in the back - would be hard to miss even for bubble boy. He must know at some level how much most of the world despises him.

18. Kudos to them. I hope it was a proud moment of protest for each of them,
that they can talk about for years to come.
Bush looks like such a doofus in that robe, by the way.

20. See How Easy DC-Dems? "We Impeach/Object!"
It's not hard to satisfy the oath of office, to meet our treaty obligations, not become a war criminal by aiding after-the-fact.

It also allows 10% of the white male demographic to stop seeing you as spineless wimps and start seeing a viable alternative to "strong and wrong" neo-fascism.

One does evil enough when one does nothing good. ~German Proverb
