Bush audience at Centenary hand-picked: "Lame, lame, lame."


Imperatus Bushus

From a medical writer living in S'pt whose throughtful and well-written career-and-life chronicle is at gonies.blogspot.com ...

Today, President Bush is visiting Shreveport to talk with "ordinary citizens" about his Social Security plans. Despite the event being held on campus at Centenary, tickets for faculty, staff, and students were limited. Why? Because the seats are being filled with a bunch of hand-picked Bush supporters who will nod along approvingly. Wouldn't want to have a dissenting opinion among the "ordinary citizens" out there, now would we? Lame, lame, lame. I have no problem with a public figure convening his or her fan club for a self-indulgent praise-a-thon, but at least advertise it straight up as such, instead of implying that the meeting is an opportunity for actual dialog.
