Glowing receptions BY RYAN SLATTERY, Las Vegas City Life
Somewhere in the crowd of Bush haters was Mr. B, carrying a sign with a map of Texas and a star near Crawford, the president's hometown. It read: 'Amber Alert: Village Idiot is Missing.'
There was little love in Las Vegas outside the carpenters union training center during Bush's brief Aug. 12 visit to Southern Nevada, which came on the heels of democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's two-day stay here. Earlier in the week Kerry spoke at a middle school, held a public rally at the Thomas & Mack Center attracting somewhere in the neighborhood of 12,000 people and addressed seniors in Henderson. Meanwhile, Vice President Dick Cheney was in Elko on Saturday.
