The wedding of one of President Bush's twin daughters at his 1,600-acre Central Texas ranch is the social event of the year — maybe the century — in this one-stoplight town. Never mind that few, if any, of its 700 residents are on the guest list. Crawford is still plenty excited.

Residents and businesses are preparing for an influx of tourists Saturday. Like the Bush family, they have arranged for flowers and ordered wedding cake and souvenirs.

"We're so honored she's getting married here," said Jo Staton, who works at The Red Bull and used to own a ranch near Bush's. "It's so beautiful out there, with streams, trees and wildflowers blooming in the fields. Every hill you see out there is gorgeous."

The blessed union even has affected the dwindling but steadfast group of a dozen or so war protesters left over from the circus that followed Cindy Sheehan when she brought her peace vigil to President Bush's ranch in 2005, which had irked the locals.

The holdouts decided to hold off on their chants and anti-Bush signs until Sunday.

"You don't blame the children for the sins of their parents," said Carl Rising-Moore, who has protested during every Bush visit here the past several years. "I don't want to spoil her day."

1. I'm pleased to hear that they won't be protesting today

"You can still celebrate the big day with cake and punch at a souvenir shop. You might even pick up a coffee mug or a mouse pad featuring a photo of the happy couple. Or get your picture made in front of the 18-foot angel statue that overlooks the main intersection — which will be wearing a veil and holding a bouquet come Saturday." :eyes:

2. I think this is a good call

As long as she stays out of politics, I really don't have anything against Jenna at all.

Protestors picketted Tricia Nixon's White House wedding in 1971. What good did that do?

3. what's sad though

is how many families are attending funerals for their children killed in Iraq (both US soldiers and Iraqi civilians) today, thanks to that ignorant fucking bastard? How many people widowed? How many weddings never to be?

4. Yes, it is a good call but I doubt the regime will note it for that. They

don't pay any attention to anyone except those in their "group". I bet the WH staff (kitchen/chef/etc.) is relieved....or did they have to go along. I have heard nothing about the blessed event which goes right along with the secrecy which marks this administration. "Let them eat cake........."
