Protesters meet Laura Bush at Jerusalem sites (Hecklers!)

[Vektor]

"JERUSALEM - Protesters besieged Laura Bush during her visit Sunday to two of Jerusalem's most sacred sites, with Israeli police locking arms to restrain the crowd and Secret Service agents packed tightly around America's first lady."

"The first lady was mobbed by protesters and local reporters, and Secret Service agents and Israeli police had to physically hold back the crowd as she approached the wall.

She then went to the Dome of the Rock, a mosque on a hilltop compound known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif and to Jews as Temple Mount. As she left the mosque, one heckler yelled, 'How dare you come in here?' and 'Why do you hassle our Muslims?'"

"Some of the women studying inside the mosque were clearly annoyed at the intrusion and waved their fingers at the U.S. entourage. Despite the chaos at both sites, Mrs. Bush kept smiling and said little."

I apologize if this is a dupe.

1. I could not care less about the Pollard protesters. He belongs in jail.

2. Maybe so...

I was just interested in how both sides protested her presence...even the women studying there. Pollard aside, her visit was not well received.

6. Had Teresa Heinz visited Jerusalem, she would have had something to --

-- SAY to people there, and would likely have respected the customs and daily itineraries of the residents. It's my guess that she would not have been objected to or protested against, but respectfully welcomed.

She also seems to be gutsy and audacious, something sorely lacking in the current First Lady. If anyone HAD objected to her, she would probably have kicked the shit out of them.

Starting tomorrow morning at the latest, I want the REAL winners of the 2004 election in the White House and these cheap-ass imposters OUT.
