Meet George, the shack-dwelling Bush hater
COMMENTARY: JOHN KELSO
Tuesday, February 20, 2007

... George spends his days protesting the "imperialist capitalist elitist upper class pigs," as one of his protest signs puts it. You may have seen his truck, which he has named "The Vindicator." On the truck, George has painted "Impeach Bush," "The class system must die!!!" and a bunch of other stuff ...

"It's just scraps is all it is; it's just discards from the society," George said of his home. He doesn't have a TV; he leaves the doors on his truck open and listens to the radio. On the day I visited, he was listening to a Bush speech.

"I want to know what he's putting down," George explained ...

George can often be found right in front of the Capitol, holding up one of his big signs ... "The more fingers that get shot at me, the better my sign is because the more reaction I've got from people who support Bush," George said ...

Kelso's got a snotty attitude, but George seems to shine thru anyway
