ABQjournal: Budget, Iraq are Bush Topics On Tour
In Albuquerque,
protesters stood in parking lots across from the Convention Center.
A police spokeswoman estimated the number as several pockets
of 50 or fewer.
The Albuquerque Journal manages 64 words at the butt-end of 1109 words on Pharoah’s triumphant visit. Any
protests in Las Cruces or Farmington (ha!)? Don’t expect any interviews or photos.
Duhbya gave the same speech 3 times and was still
reading it on the 3rd go round. I guess a week resting in Crawford wasn’t enough. mjh
PS: Oh, by the way, from page 4:
Million More Living in Poverty
The new Census report — issued Thursday but not mentioned by Bush in his speeches in Las
Cruces, Farmington and Albuquerque — showed the number of Americans living in poverty increased by more than 1.3 million last year
while the number of Americans without health insurance rose 1.4 million.
It was the third straight year of increases for both
categories.
It interests me that this is on A4 when a few cars towed by the Secret Service — and blamed on Kerry —
made it to page one the last time Duhbya came
to town (yes, that again). mjh
