President In Town To Get Everyone Fired

KYW 1060 is currently aiding the terrorists by reporting that President Bush’s motorcade is traveling down I-95, disrupting traffic all over and making everyone late for work. But, yes, the prez is in town today to talk to conservative state legislators from around the country.

He’ll be talking with the American Legislative Exchange Council, which is apparently a fiscal conservative with Democrats as a third of its members. The prez will be at the Marriott at 12th and Market, and fortunately the protesters apparently won’t be confined to “free speech zones” miles away or something:

At a news conference yesterday, leaders of several groups that oppose the war in Iraq said they planned to set up shop directly across the street from the Marriott and haven’t heard whether the Secret Service will direct them to a more distant locale.

“Two blocks away is no way. One block away is no way,” said Bob Smith, staff coordinator of the Brandywine Peace Community.

“We will have our protest right there. That’s where we want to be,” he said. “That’s where we need to be.”

Uh-huh. Just wait ’til the president uses that new executive order to seize all the assets of the Brandywine Peace Community for aiding the terrorists. Ain’t democracy grand?

Update, 9:18 a.m.: Actually, I think I went on a Match date with this girl whose parents ran some suburban peace group, and then she never called me back. Could you seize their assets, Mr. President? This is why I would make a terrible leader. (Well, one of the reasons.) I’d constantly be signing executive orders to punish ex-girlfriends, get myself free puppies, give the Philadelphia sports teams all the best players, etc. Congress would be passing joint resolutions daily telling me to put some pants on. Actually, I’d be the most interesting president in a while — or I’d at least be better than Bush.
