Jimmy Breslin, dead on

I picked this up from a commenter at Atrios, so mad props to whomever.

Here's a new Jimmy Breslin article from New York Newsday. Would that we had a thousand more of him...

For days now, the job at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County has been to follow the order from the White House through the Secret Service and down to the park workers:
"The president's feet are not to touch the dirt."
So all yesterday, large crews drawn from all county parks worked to ensure that, as always in his life, George Bush's feet do not touch the ground when he appears in the big park today.

Remember this the next time someone tells you George W. Bush is a common man who supports the common man - "not a foot touches the earth."
