Fredo the Fraidy Cat (Gonzales Runs and Hides)
From Harper's Magazine:

In another strange twist, U.S. Attorney General Alberto “Fredo” Gonzales was forced to seek shelter Wednesday in a much-beleaguered institution these days – a U.S. Attorney’s office. Gonzales was in Boise, Idaho, to deliver a speech on anti-gang efforts in the state. However, his chances for a favorable public appearance took a downturn upon the arrival of about 100 noisy but very peaceful protesters bearing signs accusing Gonzales of torture, corruption, and cronyism. He decided to retreat, and his handlers announced that instead of the promised public speech there would be a press-only afternoon news conference at the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

1. pretty soon every single Bushista
will be greeted with protests. And they will grow.
Secret Service will go nuts
Local police will be forced to increase protection and therefore, friction
there will be excesses, and more protests, and



Bush will declare martial law, cancel elections and sign new executive orders

2. Remember when Jeb was chased into a supply closet?
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06280/728177-53.stm

"Mr. Grove said a Port Authority canine unit was called in to help with crowd control. Two officers used their tasers to stun two protesters who 'were asked to leave, but did not go,' Mr. Grove said.

The tasers he said were empty of the cartridges that supply a more powerful charge.

'It was a very tense situation. They were very close to the governor and shouting on top of him.'

As a precaution, the governor was ushered into a T-station supply closet and stayed there until the crowd left.

No arrests were made and no citations were issued, Mr. Grove said. Mr. Bush was not injured.

5. Idaho is pro *
They thought they could go there and people would greet him with open arms. So much for that plan.
