The Face Behind The Voice
That’s Ann Wright and her megaphone. The two of them combined today to make Wright the rare protester outside the White House who gets noticed by people on the other side of the fence.
“And you know,” British Prime Minister Tony Blair said during a Rose Garden news conference with President Bush, “we can hear as we speak at this press conference - I mean, I can’t make out the words that they’re shouting over there, but I bet they’re not totally complimentary to either of us.”
“Wait a minute,” Bush said. “I don’t know about that.”
Blair was correct. Wright believes Bush and Blair are war criminals.
She was most pleased that Blair acknowledged her presence, which came just after she was at the World Bank screaming for Paul Wolfowitz’ resignation and just before she planned to head to the Justice Department to scream for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ resignation.
All in all, a busy day.
