Bush Behind The Orange Curtin

Any O.C. bloggers planning to cover President Bush's fundraising appearance in Irvine this afternoon (1:00 p.m., Hyatt Regency) or the related protest? If so, I'd love to hear about it.

[Update] AP: "[Bush] told donors he's 'loosening up' in preparation for next year's run. But he insisted politics remains a secondary consideration — behind 'the people's business.'

Organizers [of the fundraiser] expect to net a (m) million dollars for Bush's war chest — on top of the 40 (m) million already there."
