"This man is trying to turn back the clock on me," Orange said to attendees at the luncheon. "We can't let Bush and Condoleezza Rice and all these warmongers come down here and coattail off of Martin Luther King." After the luncheon I met with Dr. Lowery and discussed how we might counter the impression that Bush was coming to Atlanta by invitation.

2. So, when will we see the photos of Bu$h laying the wreath on MLK's tomb?
