and now, Jay, just imagine the prez coming to IOW for a couple of days,
shutting
down your airport, denying access to your plane (so you can't even wash
it) and
everybody (this means: you, Mary, your kids, your employees and your
guests) and
his dog coming to your hotel is bodysearched ... security, you know. don't
like
the idea?

Since so many are having trouble distinguishing the salient point of my
post, let me say it again. This time in super-sloooow-mooootion, for the
reading impaired:

John Edwards isn't the President. He isn't the Vice-President. He is
nobody but a run-of-the-mill Senator.

I have no problem with giving the President of the United States the
tightest possible security. If George Bush had been in Des Moines, I would
have completely understood the treatment I received.

Giving a dime-a-dozen politician this kind of protection, however, is
patently absurd.
