Plow Protest Gets Icy Reception

A snowplow driver in Cleveland has been suspended from his job after displaying an anti-Bush sign.

When President Bush visited Cleveland this week, Michael Gerstenslager, a highway maintenance worker, was asked to help provide security for the president's motorcade by using his snowplow to block access to a highway entrance, the Cleveland Plan Dealer reported.

Gerstenslager hung a sign on the side of the plow that said "traitor" – a message aimed at Mr. Bush.

A state trooper in the president's motorcade saw the sign and reported it to the Ohio transportation department.

A spokeswoman for the agency says the driver has been suspended with pay while his actions are investigated.

Gerstenslager couldn't be reached for comment.

A spokesman for the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, the union that represents the Gerstenslager, called the incident "fairly innocent."

Thank you Gerstenslager! - a snowplow driver with spine!

they are too spineless to say what needs to be said.

make a big issue of this, and have a big rally for him.

He needs to know he isn't alone, and the city needs to know what people REALLY think, and that our right to speak out needs to be protected.
