Yet another trip to the Potemkin Village

The blogs are paying a lot of attention to this story from Colorado. It's hardly surprising, and it's just the sort of thing that Bush has been doing for all along-- screening the crowd and booting out potential dissenters. In the latest incident, three people were thrown out for having a bumper sticker on their car that read "No Blood for Oil."

Maybe it's the fact that these are taxpayer-funded events. Maybe it's the new twist of Republican operatives disguised(?) as Secret Service agents. Or maybe it's the fact that people are actually reporting on the incident.
