GOP Action Heroes: Arnold, Rudy, John McCain and the Bush Twinsnew
Although protesters keep assailing the president with verve and unexpected wit — I’m especially partial to Billionaires for Bush’s mocking chant “Four more wars!” — many New Yorkers view the election with a sense of impending doom tinged with big-city snobbery.
