Protestors have "8000 Years of Experience"

[KurtNYC]

From the NYT:

"We are just not able to walk it," said Pearl Scher, the organizer of a downtown demonstration of about 100 senior citizens who came out with walkers, wheelchairs and canes. Wearing T-shirts emblazoned with slogans like "Fermer le Bush" and "Fire the Liar," the elderly protesters were forthcoming in spirit if not mobility.

"It was unbelievable," said Ms. Scher, who said the average age of the protesters was 83.

"There must have been 100 of us," she said. "When you multiply 80 by 100, you've got 8,000 years of experience."

Love that spirit!
