Got It, Thanks

Daniel Trotta at Reuters wants you to know that the crowds in New York laughing at Hugo Chavez's anti-Bush jokes were "a carefully selected group of leftists and liberals".

In case you missed that, he repeats: there are "Friendly leftist crowds".

And again, just to drive the point home, in case you were not paying attention: "The crowd went wild, but the carefully chosen audiences reflected public opinion outside the American mainstream."

I'm trust Mr Trotta will be sure to put Bush's next "Town Hall Style" speech in a similarly narrow context.
