Live From Crawford, Texas
Powerline
Power Line reader Gene Allen has been in Crawford, Texas, and sends this report on the ongoing media circus there:

I just returned from Crawford where I met some people from Israel yesterday as they fueled their motor home. They were there to drive out to the ranch as a tribute to President Bush and as an expression of gratitude for his support of Israel. I'll be back down there Tuesday-Thursday and when I return I can e-mail some photos if you wish. This town of 800 is crawling with visitors who can be divided into four general categories-two good, two bad.

THE GOOD:
1) People on a pilgrimage to see President Bush's ranch and "downtown" Crawford;
2) Police, more specifically, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, Texas Rangers and County Sheriff's Deputies;

THE BAD:
3) Protestors; and
4) Press covering the protestors only.

The good guys fill with gas and diesel and dine on cheeseburgers at the Coffee Station where the walls are adorned with enlarged snapshots of President Bush working the crowd and dining on a Coffee Station burger. That won't happen this year, and perhaps never again because of the bad guys.

The bad guys hang at the Crawford Peace House, a dump of a house that looks like Hippie Central with dozens of cars, vans, SUVs and campers parked on the grass. Add portable toilets for ambience and you get the picture. This is the staging center for protests at the ranch nine miles up Prairie Chapel Road.
