JOHNSON USES KIDS TO PROVIDE COVER FROM ANGER OVER SHUTDOWN
"[State Senator Ellen] Anderson knows some people might be unhappy about the shutdown. She tells a story of how Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson recently fended off criticism at a parade; he brought some neighbor kids along with him.
'He spent the whole day with them,' she says. 'And he said it was great. Not one person yelled at him. He figured nobody could get mad at him if he had four little children walking around with him.'
Anderson insists her young sons, Nick and Jake, are not tagging along today for her protection." Source: Minnesota Public Radio, July 5, 2005

This reminds me of the scene at the end of "The Dead Zone" when the guy grabs the baby and holds it up in front of his body to protect himself from being shot. What a cowardly and disgusting move by Senator Johnson to use children to fend off criticism. I hope everyone in the state sees this article and remembers it when he runs for governor as an independent next year.
