Rock on a Roll

Did anyone else see Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson on Countdown tonight? He totally kicked ass. Keith was asking him about the Bush supporters in SLC who felt he was doing them a disservice by appearing at a protest against Bush, and he had the most brilliant response: If he'd met Bush at the airport, and accompanied him to his speech, and stood at his side grinning, and applauded him, and stood as part of a standing ovation, no one would have said a word. Support is expected, and accepted. Dissent is not.
