Roving Protest

No wonder neither Bush nor Cheney wanted to appear before an "unfiltered" crowd to throw out the first pitch of the new baseball season. Look what happened to the "Architect" last night:

Heckling protesters briefly delayed the car carrying top White House aide Karl Rove last night as he left the American University campus, where he had just given a speech. No arrests or injuries were reported after Rove's invitation-only talk.

About 20 students lay in front of the car as it prepared to leave, a witness said.

Josh Goodman, an AU junior, said other students kicked the car "and tried to stop it as best as they could."

He said the car, with Rove in the back seat, left after those in front of it "were all pulled away."

I can't remember this happening to any of Clinton's staff, can you? The level of animosity toward this administration in the country is the highest I can recall since the Nixon years. And even then Tricky Dick felt comfortable enough to go to the Lincoln Memorial and talk to anti-war protesters one on one.
