You call that popular? Saddam got 100% of the vote in the last election. Maybe that explains why the Iraqi people are not rising against him.
I thought the same thing last Sunday when I saw this link: "Oscar (es)chews red carpet" (there was a picture of Julianne Moore)
Crowd Wild for Bush? What did you expect? It's illegal for anyone in the military to criticize the Commander in Chief! Typical PR move by Govenor Bush. His next speech will be in front of a bunch of cheerleaders.
