Bush's Shotgun Neighbor's Deal w/ NBC

Pissed off Bush neighbor, Larry Mattlage, who fired shots into the air on Sun b/c he told reporters earlier in the day he was getting tired of protesters and media driving and camping on private property, creating a nuisance and generating a traffic mess, has said: "When they 1st came out here, I was sympathetic to their cause. American citizens have a right to march, protest. Still, if you had your brother-in-law in your house after 5 days, wouldn't it start stinking after awhile? You'd really want them to go home, wouldn't you?'' Well, for someone who doesn't like to be bothered and values his privacy so much, why would he have agreed to this?: NBC News has an agreement with Mattlage that allows its news crews access to his land to obtain long-range camera shots of the Bush ranch, said correspondent Kelly O'Donnell. The agreement, disclosed yesterday because Mattlage became a news figure, has been in place since Bush became president. Hmm, let's see, this August getaway is Bush's 49th trip to his cherished ranch since he took office, that means that there are over 330 days that Bush has spent, entirely or partially, in Crawford and it is the longest presidential retreat in at least 36 yrs... SOOOO, I'm guessing that Mattlage has had to be incovenienced plenty by NBC. Did he fire shots at them, too? Well, it looks like old Larry won't have to be "put out" much longer. A fellow Crawford property owner just down the street has offered Camp Casey an acre to protest on.
