CT Blogosphere Covers Bush-Shays Trip

Todd Beeton has a good roundup this morning of local CT blog coverage of the President's visit to Connecticut on Friday - with Chris Shays riding shotgun on both Air Force One and Marine One:

In good blogger style, the CT netroots made sure no one forgot that the exceptionally unpopular Mr. Bush was coming to town and so held a march against the war to protest his arrival. My Left Nutmeg covered it HERE with more pics HERE. Looks like a great turnout.

As for the fundraiser itself, helpfully, the CT Republican Party has provided its own documentary evidence of the event, although a few pictures seem to be missing. In a great catch by MattW, take a look at the CT GOP's Flickr photo stream, and you'll see there's a conspicuous gap of about 7 missing photos between the last shot of David Cappiello and the first picture of George Bush up on the stage with Kissinger. Hmm, why the scrubbing I wonder? Bizarrely, CT-04's Chris Shays, who co-chaired the event, doesn't seem to have the same compunction about appearing with Bush in public.

CTBlogger, CTBob, NBPoliticus, CT News Junkie, Orient Lodge, MattW at MLN, Scarce at MLN, and CT Local Politics all had a lot more to say this past weekend about Friday's Bush-Shays jaunt to CT. Click on the links for more.
