4. It's on Yahoo News
They don't have a story about it yet....They just have something on the top of their news page (www.news.yahoo.com) that says Breaking News: Grenade Thrown in Front of Bush....

5. It was reported as "just in" on Lou Dobbs about 10 mins ago.
I keep checking cnn though and I haven't found anything.

Also being reported on Anderson Cooper Show. Saying right now that's one of his top stories, and he says it's news coming out the white house.

11. The report on MSNBC (TV) this past hour says it was thrown in the crowd,
a ways away from the stage, hit somebody in the head, didn't detonate, the Georgian security picked it up, and the US Secret Service was informed of the incident two hours after Bush left Georgia. Seems much ado... :shrug:

12. Oh, the irony...
CBS did a five minute segment on W in Georgia, complete with lots of pictures of the adoring throng who came to greet the beloved Western beacon of democracy (fawn fawn fawn). Then, almost as an aside, they reported about a grenade found on the stage after the president left.

You can almost taste the irony...five minutes about how much he was loved, followed by two sentences about the fact that he was loved so much, they tried to blow him up! LOL!

15. CBS did mention that all of the backdrops and props in the crowd...
Were brought and orchestrated by the White House.

If the people there love him so much, then why does the White House have to spend taxpayers' money on their propaganda props to make it appear like they laid out a big spread for this alleged "rock star" (retarded cowgirl)?

16. Agents Check Report of Grenade Near Bush
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Secret Service was investigating a report Tuesday that a hand grenade was thrown at the stage during President Bush's speech in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.

After Bush left Georgia on Tuesday, the Secret Service was informed by Georgian authorities of a report that a device, possibly a hand grenade, had been thrown within 100 feet of the stage during Bush's speech, hit someone in the crowd and fell to the ground, Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry said.

According to the report, a Georgian security officer picked up the device and removed it from the area. The Secret Service had not seen the device as of Tuesday evening, Cherry said. It has agents in Tbilisi working with the FBI, State Department and Georgian authorities to investigate the report.

Guram Donadze, spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry, said no hand grenade was thrown close to Bush. ``This is an absolute lie. This did not occur,'' Donadze told The Associated Press.
