One thousand citizens turn out to protest at a $2,000/plate AWOL fundraiser in Kentucky. Including:

In all her 67 years, Ann Hall has never protested anything — until President Bush came to Louisville yesterday.

Fed up with the president's positions on education, the economy and a host of other issues, she went downtown with a couple of friends to voice her displeasure.

"He cares nothing about the common person," said Hall, of Louisville. "We decided we're just tired of it, and we needed to do something."

So, carrying a sign that referred to the president as an "idiot," she; Lori Eisenbeis, 68; and Midge Ostendorf, 72, took their place among 1,000 or more protesters who gathered half a block from the Galt House. Sprinkled among the crowd was a handful supporting Bush.

Probably didn't make the news, though. Y'know, unpatriotic and all that.

But wait until you see New York and the convention. Everybody is invited.
