When Dick Cheney was here in Australia in February, this banner was shown to the crowd in a media beat-up stunt:
Now George Bush turns up, and the same tiny rent-a-crowd turns up. They had to go with a refurbished banner, and they just chucked a new name on :
The pro bush demonstration was outnumbered by photographers, media, police and anti-bush demonstrators.
So, are they out of money, or just out of ideas ?
Sorry for the bad pictures, they were grabbed from a video where a anti-bush protester squirted tomato sauce onto the sign. Don't worry, I'm sure there will be much high resolution ones on Fox and Drudge in a few hours.
Meanwhile, details of the Chaser crew's arrest came out. They made it through two Police Checkpoints with Chas dressed as Osama bin Laden, with these as their passes.
They face charges of 6 months jail for poking fun at the security team. Their defense will appear to be that they were unaware that they had entered the real security zone as they were not attempting to be fraudulent in any way, and they were not trying to pass themselves off as an actual motorcade.
