Was that George Bush in women's lingerie?

Protest rallies in Phoenix took a turn for the dramatic Tuesday, as crowds used street theater to punctuate anti-war messages.

Activists mocked a man wearing a Bush mask as members of Code Pink, a non-profit women's peace group, wrangled a lacy pink slip over his business suit.

"If I did my job as poorly as this man did his job, I would be fired in a minute," Lisa Blank of Code Pink told a gathering of about 300 people at Cesar Chavez Memorial Plaza in central Phoenix. "George Bush, you are terminated."

It was one of several demonstrations in Phoenix and Mesa on Tuesday. Activists at both events called for an end to Operation Iraqi Freedom, increased support for troops abroad and at home, and warnings that a McCain presidency would only carry on the Bush administration.

Among their messages: "Drop Bush, not bombs."

"John McCain is living proof George Bush has been cloned."

"McCain, (you're) not Moses. We don't want to wander in the desert for 40 years."
