Could it be Shrub......
.....REALLY doesn't have a clue?

The American Civil Liberties Union and four advocacy groups yesterday asked a federal court to order the U.S. Secret Service to stop shunting demonstrators against President Bush and other administration officials into "protest zones", where their messages of discontent cannot be heard by their targets or the public.

Vic Walczak, legal director of the ACLU of Greater Pittsburgh, said the ACLU nevertheless had discerned a "pattern" of protesters at presidential and vice presidential events being "restricted to places that were inconspicuous, ... where they were out of sight, out of earshot and often out of mind."

1. This Emporer has no clothes...
I wouldn't be surprised if he's "blissfully ignorant" of how much disgust there is for this Presidency.

2. he admits as much....
One shocker not overly discussed at DU was Bush's avoidance of reading ANY newspapers....it's all filtered through his senior staff, that he (laughingly) refers to as "objective." Know this...Bush lives in a private world of his own making.

3. He Busted Another Guy with an Opinion in Austin
When he was Governor he had some problems remembering just how that pesky first ammendment worked and had some poor shmoe busted repeatedly for walking on the public sidewalk outside the govenor's mansion with a sign. Protestor won his case but the paranoid moron won the White House.
