    Bush's Audiences

    may not be as "sanitized" as they have been in the past. But, I believe his audiences are still carefully screened and all efforts are made to assure Bush encounters nothing but respect and deference. So, I don't want to give him more credit than he is due. I at least credit Cheney with marching to (an area near the front of) the mound protected only by kevlar. He did not bring along a military escort to make sure the natives didn't get too restless.
