Bush had not left the ranch since Aug. 13, when he attended a Little League regional championship game in nearby Waco. He chose two Republican-friendly states in Utah and Idaho to re-emerge and make his case for continued war. People lined the streets of his motorcade route in Salt Lake City, many cheering and holding up signs such as one that said, ``Honor the dead. Support President Bush.''

But there also were anti-war signs and a few unfriendly gestures along the way. Hundreds of people gathered at an anti-war rally in Pioneer Park, about three blocks from the Salt Palace where Bush spoke.

2. I guess he wasn't as popular

as he thought in SLC!

6. Did the SLC protesters actually get anywhere near him? Or were they

stuck in one of those "free speech (NOT) zones"?

3. "Honor the dead. Support President* Bush

OK that is just freaking chilling

5. George Bush is for cemetery recruitment..

I'm assuming cemeteries are privatized?

And didn't he have a link to a funeral ring in Texas?

4. Getting harder and harder to find states like that.

Damn shame.

7. Try around 2000 protesting in Pioneer park and the area

I think whoever is putting up those 500 protesters numbers showed up at 11:30 when it started, said hmmmm looks like a few hundred and then split.

9. SLC really has a very educated, progressive minority, imo.

Not a bad place at all.:D

8. the gutless wonder came out of his hidey hole

and found that he is not as popular no more...

10. Big Eddie was cracking up about that today...

Said that Bush can only show his face in Idaho, Utah, Wymoming or Kansas anymore..
