When Bush came to Australia, we were taken slightly by surprise at the extent to which he was isolated from the general public. It makes me wonder at the extent to which this happens every day in America, where every person he meets at a 'public' event is carefully scripted to act a certain way - kind of like the Truman Show I guess.
Filtherton, if he was sitting in a bar in New England at least he'd know what blue collar workers actually think. Currently he isn't allowed to leave the Forbidden City.
