From the Washington Post today:
The president will also find the volatile domestic debate over the war in Iraq following him here as protesters aligned with peace activist Cindy Sheehan plan to picket a Bush family wedding Saturday. Sheehan and her supporters have made it their mission to follow the president on his vacations to confront him about the war….
The last time he came here [KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine] was August 2004 for the wedding of his nephew George P. Bush, son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R). It took another wedding to bring the president back, the Saturday nuptials of Walker Stapleton and Jennifer Bertocchi. Stapleton is the son of the former president’s cousin Dorothy Walker Stapleton and her husband, Craig Roberts Stapleton, once a partner with George W. Bush in ownership of the Texas Rangers baseball team and now the presidentially appointed U.S. ambassador to France.
Antiwar groups affiliated with Sheehan plan to rally as close as they can get to the wedding at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church, near Walker’s Point. “Join with people of conscience to call for an end to the war in Iraq and say NO! to the Bush Agenda,” reads an online recruitment pitch for the demonstration.
“rally as close as they can get to the wedding at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church”!!!
It’s the wedding of the son of The President’s cousin, and they want to stand outside the wedding with bullhorns and fake caskets? Where is the decency?

who is discusting and pathetic? The neocons who have destroyed the our country. Who gives a hoot about bullhorns at a wedding. If this were the 1960s there’d be 10s of thousands PREVENTING the wedding by staging a massive rally. But people are too selfish today to worry about how our world image is destroyed by the bush regime. The could care less if 1 million iraquis die as long as 1 american doesn’t shed blod.
