After Comrade Bloomburg silenced the protesters at the Republican National Convention, they were forced to take their march from the plush, grassy knolls of Central Park to the streets immediately outside Madison Square Garden. Conversely, the Democrats were even considerate enough to furnish their protestors with a cozy Protest Pen situated in a parking lot–complete with barbed wire fence–isolated from all possible distractions, including the media. The Republicans have yet to be so generous.
In other, totally unrelated news, President Bush has been extraordinarily slow in meeting non-president John Kerry’s demands to silence the Swift Boat Vets. Free Speech is good, yes, but not when it gets in the way of a good campaign.
