Jeb Bush hides in broom closet from angry steel workers...
He was blowing kisses to steel workers and they were going to kick his ass...
==========================================================================

<snip>

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in town for a fund-raiser for Sen. Rick Santorum, had a close encounter with a large group of anti-Republican protesters as he was making his way to the Duquesne Club, Downtown.

It was about 4:15 yesterday when Mr. Bush met up with the protesters near the corner of Liberty and Sixth avenues. The protesters were marching to join other pickets already gathered in front of the exclusive club, a little more than a block away at 325 Sixth Ave.

Protesters said Gov. Bush blew them a kiss, acknowledging the crowd of about 30 chanting pickets that was made up of United Steelworkers and members of Uprise Counter Recruitment, a tour traveling through 22 cities to support anti-war efforts.

Once in the subway station, Mr. Bush scurried to the escalators and descended to the mezzanine level, Mr. Vandenburgh said.

By now, Mr. Bush was cornered. He was surrounded by signs that said "Pittsburgh is a Santorum Free Zone," "Honk if you're sick of Rick," and a crowd growing increasingly louder, according to Mr. Vandenburgh.

"We don't want you here," protesters chanted.

<snip>
"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.

4. LMAO!!!
They made him hide in a closet!! BWAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's my hometown! :)

That's just so hilarious, I have got to share it with my family...

I also noticed that it was the PAT officers that did the tasering, not the cops. And it said the regular police "did not respond to the incident in the T-station." So, does that mean they weren't called, or that they decided to let Jeb's bodyguards handle the situation? Very interesting...
