In the "Doctor, My Eyes" department.....Laura Bush didn't see what everyone else saw yesterday. Check out her description of the London protesters.

President and Mrs. Bush left England today from the small rural town of Sedgewick, which is Tony Blair's home town. A few hundred of the town's five thousand residents turned out at the village green to protest. We wonder if Mrs. Bush missed them too.

Knights-Ridder reports:

The president's three-day state visit to Great Britain and the war in Iraq sent more than 100,000 protesters to the London streets Thursday. His visit Friday to Sedgefield, 250 miles north of London, spurred about 300 demonstrators to line the route between Blair's house and the Dun Cow Inn, a pub where Bush and Blair lunched along with their wives.

Some demonstrators near the pub chanted "Bush go home." Others along the route to the pub held signs that read "Bush is Not Very Nice" and "Mad Cowboy Disease." The road also was lined with supporters waving American flags and signs welcoming Bush.

The pub's main room was packed, with about 50 people seated at a half-dozen tables, when the Bushes and the Blairs arrived to nosh on leek and potato soup, fish and chips, mushy peas, and lemon creme brulee. "Hey there," Bush repeatedly said as he encountered pub patrons, "thank you for having us. We're thrilled to be here."
