providence.


whoa.
i just witnessed one peculiar sight on cnn.
i caught rumsfeld giving a live speech when you hear a woman scream something off to the side.
rumsfeld turns to listen, and, lo and behold, the cnn camera turns to two women on a balcony (inside the conference room) with a sign saying 'bloody hands' with red handprints all over.
the women tell rumsfeld that this war unjustified (or something like that). the cameras are still rolling and no one's stopping them at this point, which was mesmerizing to me. and they start asking rumsfeld when the troops are coming back because they're dying out there, etc. she managed to get all of that in. amazing.

they white house must be thankful it was rumsfeld up on the podium and not the idiot president.
he let them talk and they were escorted out.
rumsfeld came back with talk about iraq and how now there's free press with 100 newspapers over there, etc etc.
he said they was free speech, something they hadn't had in years -- all of this while the two women were briskly escorted out of earshot ...

uh..........hypocrisy, anyone?

but you can bet your sweet ass this is gonna be replayed over and over.
i hope so.
and i hope it won't be 'two women disturb rumsfeld speech'. i hope the banner and their message is gonna be given at least 10 seconds on the air.
open up your eyes, america.

that was something. :)
