Fifty Protesters Moon Bush In Australia

By Melissa McEwan
This just in from ABC:

Around 50 people have bared their bottoms in protest against APEC and
the visiting US President George W Bush.

A group calling themselves 'Bums for Bush' exposed themselves in
Sydney's Hyde Park during a protest rally this afternoon.

Organiser Will Saunders says its a fun and Australian way to get the
anti-Iraq war message across.

"It may be the strength of feeling about George Bush, that protest
doesn't need to be all doom and gloom and shooting slogans," he said.

"Just because you feel strongly about an issue doesn't mean you can't
have a laugh about it as well."

Mr Saunders says it was hoped a world record for mooning would be
broken, but fewer than expected numbers actually turned up.

One of the people to bare her bottom, Jo, said it was worth it for her
despite the cold weather.

"We all have a bit of joke don't we, but although we can have a bit of a
joke by dropping our pants today we are deadly serious about how this
deadly war has to end in Iraq," she said.

Meanwhile, around 200 people protested on Elizabeth street near St James
station to demonstrate against any passing motorcades belonging to APEC.

International embarrassment:

President Bush's trademark struggles with the finer points of public
speaking were on full display Friday, when he thanked his "Austrian"
hosts for inviting him to this year's "OPEC" summit.

I'll just give you a minute to drink that in. Our dumboid of a
president, currently in Australia attending the APEC (Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation) summit, thanked his Austrian hosts for inviting
him to the OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) summit,
despite neither the US nor Australia being members of OPEC.

Bush's struggles from the lectern didn't end when he stopped talking
either. Press reports indicate he tried to leave the stage through the
wrong door, and the Australian prime minister had to point him toward
the proper exit, according to the Herald Sun newspaper.\

Blair was his lap-dog, Howard is his Guide dog.

That'll be the first time he's seen a bunch of assholes since his
administration went into meltdown.
