What's this about a bulletproof cage for Bush?
That's the most I've heard about it, although I don't think the Coward from Crawford can do anything to surprise me anymore. Can I get a link pls?

She gets credit for both the link about the cage (pasted below for anyone else who's curious) and for the Coward for Crawford bit. Yay! :D

5. Actually, no offense to catholic DUers, but the Vatican is lending...
...RNC the Pope-mobile with the bullet proof plastic air conditioned box. I've noticed that Dubya has been practicing the pontiff's hand wave as he gave his stump speeches. But Bush still can't give up that little twirly thing he does with his fingers whenever he singles out one person to acknowledge.:eyes:

Hahahahahahahaha!

Like Saddam from the spider hole!

Like Satan from Hell! What fools!

For people who are so focused on how things look they have blown this one. Potential "Spinal Tap" moment too if it gets stuck or won't open.

14. Here's the direct link to the NY Daily News story...
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/story/223982p-192424c.html

And here's the talking point I'd suggest:

"How safe is America if Bush can't speak at his own convention -- indoors! -- without hiding behind bullet-proof glass?"

25. If they do put him behind plexiglass it's not
because of foreign terrorists.... it's because he's pissed off the American People with his "rip-off" act while "Presidenting"

24. Boy, I bet you some of those delegates are going to feel real safe....
They are in the crowd and the Coward from Crawford is separated from them and protected by a blast and bullet proof shield. Wow, how safe can the crowd be?

And Jeb isn't going to the convention - hummm, will poppy, babs and pickles be there?

33. "Dramatic entrance"
Edited on Wed Aug-25-04 08:23 PM by wicket
Since the GOP took control of MSG in mid-July, workers have been constructing a new floor for the arena, raised above the actual floor by about 9 feet, with a hole in it that could allow for a dramatic entrance.

Let me guess, the Coward from Crawford will be raised through the floor in The Cage sitting on a chained Bin Laden. :puke:

43. Oh. My. God.
Is His Chimperial Highness gonna rise up *through the floor*??? Will there be dry ice, too, and strobe lights and a celestial choir? I wasn't going to watch the convention but I might have to tune in for this. Could they be so tacky as to make his entrance look like the bastard spawn of a Las Vegas stage act and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir?

Yeah... they could....

That is surreal. I hope that he actually goes through with it, as the average convention viewer will likely see it as a ridiculous joke.

42. IrfanView
It's a freeware photo viewer/editor. I use it all the time to resize pics. It's also great for adjusting color and adding effects like embossing and oil paint. It's a quick and dirty Photoshop.
