USA Today: Protesters intrude on Bush's RELAXATION

"A LITTLE RELAXATION!?!?!?!?!?!" When the hell does he WORK?
=====

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — President Bush came to his parent's century-old summer home on the Maine coast for a little relaxation, a distant cousin's wedding and some family time. He got all that, along with a boisterous reminder nearly on his bucolic doorstep of the unpopularity of his Iraq policies.

What local police estimated were about 700 anti-war demonstrators marched Saturday to within half a mile of the Bush compound before being turned back at a security checkpoint. Called Walker's Point after the family of former President Bush's mother, the stone-and-shingle retreat covering a craggy promontory is owned by the current president's parents.

The protesters sang, chanted, beat drums, waved signs and even played fiddles to call on Bush to bring troops home.

"Bush is fiddling while the world burns, just as Nero fiddled while Rome burned," said Pippa Stanley, 15, of Richmond, Maine, who was helping with the backdrop for pair of fiddlers dressed in togas.

8. What do Kennebunkport and Lake Minnetonka have in common?

They are both habitues of the wealthy as well as scenes of the latest kick-ass protests of Bush.

There is no rest for the wicked.

Check out the Swift-Boat water protest, too:

As far as I know that is the largest anti-Bush gathering there in either Bush president's term. That's a big deal.
