Sad, sad group. Pretty bad when you have only 5 signs to start with and then only three people show up to hold the signs.

Around 1970, when I was 6 or 7, my mom made a suit for me out of old curtains that looked just like the plaid shirt that guy is wearing. I knew then to be embarrassed.

Mayor of Newark, Outspoken Democrat, and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama. The right has been using him as a poster child claiming that the Obama campaign is trying to shut him up after he said on Meet the Press that not all venture capital is bad. Of course, Booker was incensed, and went on Rachel Maddow to complain that they are completely mischaracterizing what he said AND what Obama's campaign said.

I'll try to find a link to the Maddow interview that explains the whole mess.

On edit:

If you go to Rachel's site,

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/

the story is on the front page.
