I was at the rally in LaCrosse- a huge outpouring of love and support, 8000 supporters, and would have been more but we ran out of tickets to give away. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience - my husband and I and our son all got to shake the President's hand.

These swings through the country are good for Bush and for Americans.
It's interesting how much detail this article gives to how the media tries to tone down Bush's trips. I don't believe I ever saw such head hanging about covering a presidential trip when a democrat came to town.

Well, then call us all giddy in Indiana too, because Mr. President will carry our state. A strange choice of the word "giddy" to describe our happiness with this fine leader. NY Slimes!

U.S. President George W. Bush holds two babies belonging to supporters on stage at an election rally at a baseball field in La Crosse, Wisconsin during a campaign swing through the mid-western state, May 7, 2004. Bush is travelling by bus on a one-day trip through key voter states Iowa and Wisconsin, stopping along the way to attend rallies to drum up support for his November re-election bid.

U.S. President George W. Bush greets supporters as his election campaign bus tour stops in Lancaster, Wisconsin, May 7, 2004. Bush vowed on Friday to repair America's beleaguered human rights record, while his defense secretary refused to resign over the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal during a tense Capitol Hill hearing.

As I suspect you already know, this is not strange for the NYT when you consider the etymology of the word and their obvious bias.
Etymology: Middle English gidy mad, foolish, from Old English gydig possessed, mad; akin to Old English god god

Remember when Libya kidnapped a couple of Russian oil workers some years ago near the end of the cold war? Several Libyans were seized by the Russians and delivered on their doorstep, cut to pieces. The Russians were freed with no fanfare. Libya never tried that again with Russia, but I guess Russia never had a 'beleagured human rights record' that mattered. Self flaggelation serves no useful cause. We fix the problem and move on. End of story. End of Kerry. End of RATS.

OMG, how low can they sink. We've got the media interviewing the media.

I notice that you always post articles that are negative toward our Presidents campaign, are you really a supporter of President Bush?

How low can they sink? Nobody has ever been able to answer that question. You might as well ask "how high is up?"

Self flaggelation serves no useful cause. To the Left, it will be a welcome chapter in anti-American public school instruction.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Yup, typical NY Slimes... Us midwesterners, you know, the common-folk, out here in "fly-over" country, get giddy when we get to meet the leader of the free world. We just "ain't" so SO-FIST-I-CATED as them there New Yorkers.

I love that picture. Seen on the dose earlier. Sent it to some friends who are giddy for Dubya too!

This is an interesting article, and I am glad you posted it.
What it tells us is that the Times is trying to manage the national news, Bush knows it and has figured out a way around them, and there is not a darn thing they can do about it. HA!

Am working this a.m. in El Paso, TX. Got up in the motel and was switching channels and see the President doing stand-up at Prairie du Chien via C-Span II. He's working the crowd in a local gym, going over benefits of tax breaks, and taking questions (no doubt from previously placed audience members). But he's doing it without notes, walking up and down the floor, making eye contact. Now a veteran gets up and salutes Bush for his support of the troops -- crowd is on its feet and cheers. Things you do not see on the alphabet channels...
