Here is a quick shot of Leonardo DiCaprio trying to escape the crowd after his appearance at the Kerry for President pre-rally last night in Portland Waterfront Park. The PR people (and campaign volunteers) were terribly inexperienced, and didn't consider that the few hundred people would rush at Leonardo the second the event was over. Maybe they didn't see all the Titanic posters and glossy photos. Maybe they didn't see the two hundred non-volunteer-non-voting sixteen year-old girls that just happened to show up right before he did. I guess they didn't. So, Leonardo had to painfully tread through that crowd for several long minutes, all the while people were probably grabbing at his balls, as he tried to get to the getaway car.

Oh yeah, and John Kerry's daughter was there too.

By the time you read this, I'll be knee deep in all the local media coverage of the Bush and (at the same time) Kerry visits. I'm on anarchist protestor detail. So, all day I'm gonna have "Fuck you, corporate media whore" yelled at me. Must be Friday.
