Gloom, Doom and George W. Bush

The president does London

"Everything," he replied.

"Well, what specifically?"

"He's a warmonger, I think he's ecologically dangerous, I think he's building a police state in America. Everything about him and everything I can think about him."

"Did you feel at all similarly about Clinton?"

" I didn't like Clinton either. I haven't liked any American president for a long time. But no, Bush seems to be worse."

No doubt Thursday's protest in Trafalgar Square, with a predicted turnout of some 100,000, will be incomparably greater than anything witnessed so far, but up to now most of the protest has existed solely in the minds of over-excitable reporters -- call it the Revolt of the Chattering Classes. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest of London went about its business. I'm beginning to understand why George Bush doesn't read newspapers.
