So much for "Peeople With Compassion." Tuesday's convention theme didn't hold at a Students for Bush meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria, where Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt told the crowd of college-aged Republicans: "I spend most of my time talking to the media. This can be a horrifying, gritty experience. I deal with the scum of the earth."
The 150-plus students in the room applauded heartily. Nothing like teaching 'em young. -- From Gwen Glazer, NationalJournal.com
