George Bush's Guava moment

At a press conference in Iraq yesterday President George Bush had two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi journalist. This reminded me of the time of the time th locals in South America pelted Richard Nixon's limo with Guava fruit back in the fifties when he toured there. While the Iraqi man throwing the shoes had pretty good aim I was pretty impressed with George Bush. He may not have a quick mind but, his reflexes were pretty fast as he avoided being hit.

Richard Nixon is smiling in his grave.

Thirty five years ago yesterday the Watergate burglary happened. The country was outraged that people in the Federal Government would commit such an outrage in our Democracy. Today Congress via the Patriot Act has officially sanctioned similar acts like the Watergate burglary as law. Richard Nixon must be smiling in his grave.
