colorado coverup

Remember those three people tossed out of one of the President's stage-managed "town meetings" on Social Security last March in Colorado? They had done nothing wrong, but had a "no more blood for oil" bumper sticker on their car? Turns out the White House and the Secret Service both know who was responsible for kicking them out -- but they ain't telling.

Now the "coverup" word is being used. Colorado Democrats are demanding the White House reveal the names.

Well, good luck. This Administration is so comfortable with lies that I don't see any reason for it to not feel just fine about a small-scale coverup like this. The bigger crime really is using taxpayer money to shuttle the President around for these Social Security events and excluding people for no reason other than they don't like him. Sure, the Secret Service can keep out people perceived to be a threat to the President -- but political hacks shouldn't be allowed to keep somebody out because their car is expressing a political opinion that oilmen Bush and Cheney don't like.
