A Real American Hero

Here's an article updating the story of a true American hero, and the real "Bush haters" who have attacked him:

[Tom] Connolly is a Portland lawyer who was all too happy to share Bush's 1976 OUI arrest in Kennebunkport when it came into his hands.

Afterward, Connolly was subjected to death threats, trash was dumped in his yard and he said he was assaulted _ twice.

...

Other things weren't so funny, like the death threats and the time a man hopped out of his pickup truck and knocked Connolly down. Another time, he was assaulted with a shopping cart in a supermarket, he said.

Through it all, the party activist who passed out "W is for wiener" buttons at the Democratic National Convention is unrepentant over his actions in disclosing the OUI arrest to reporters.

"I was Rush Limbaugh's 'Idiot of the Year.' I hope that goes in my obituary when I'm dead," he said.

Does this mean the National Enquirer and Wilma Cline will be this year's "Idiots of the Year"?
