Protestapalooza

Gathering forces will soon meet in Crawford Texas, combining to make the perfect political storm. For the media that is.

As much as I support the ideals behind Move America Forward, I must say that I don't see the benefit in the protest, counter protest strategy. The national media will portray Deborah Johns as a ultra conservative-hick-patriot, while Cindy will be made to look like a well spoken, thoughtful person of conscious, wanting to speak to a President with whom she has a grievance.

I would wager that we will see video of the pushing and shouting on the news every night this weekend. The only winners in this protest battle will be the media. They are bored to death waiting in this little hick town in Texas for the President to do something worth reporting, it is hot and they are not in a good mood. They will film for hours and interview dozens of people from both sides, only to find the best looking, semi-rational anti war protesters and the angriest war supporters. That is the story the want to tell and they will tell it.

These will be the faces of The Protestapalooza Tour, coming to Washington DC in September and to your city soon. Now if they can only find a sponsor for the tour, well, Camp Cindy already has her corporate supporters.
