Pestiside is a zippy, if probably left-leaning, blog that really makes you feel like you’ve got your hand on the pulse of Hungary. It’s full of the lowdown and fun to read.

On this great day that George Bush visited and honored the Hungarian Freedom Fighters of 1956, Pestiside put in a delicious item that I enjoyed reading:

A big shout out to reader J. for sending us the subscription only MTI story about yesterday’s demonstration organized by Amnesty International Hungary to protest alleged abuses of suspects in the “war on terror.” (Wait – we forgot – is it editorializing to put “war on terror” in quotes, and if you don’t are you supposed to put it in capitals?) According to the report, seven Amnesty activists and several reporters were on hand for the demo, but “not one supporter showed up to participate.” Maybe they were all in Guantanamo!

In other words, Amnesty International called an anti-American protest over Bush’s visit and no one showed up!

Not one single hippie! Not one! Usually you can round up a few of the customary rentamobs for any such anti-Bush activity but apparently not this time! Not in Hungary on the day the 1956 Freedom Fighters were honored. Not this time. Not one hippie!

Where have all the anti-Americans gone? What if they called an anti-American protest and no one came?

Meanwhile, for fine coverage of Bush’s actual visit to Hungary, Jim Hoft at GatewayPundit has an excellent roundup and some beautiful photos here.

UPDATE: And don’t miss his new photos of the lonely hippie Gitmo organizers, who drew not one single protestor, and the cop who told them to beat it, in this hilarious GatewayPundit post here.

UPDATE: Glib & Superficial has an excellent quiz on this matter, along with some truly expert observations, that will make you laugh, in this post here.
