"Clueless, waving like a maniac." Out of touch much? Obviously:

Madison's Ray and Diane Maida say they were treated to an example of how President Bush just doesn't get it as the participated in the anti-war protest in Washington.

The Maidas, who lost their son, Mark, to a roadside bomb south of Baghdad last May, were standing outside the White House Monday morning when they saw a motorcade approach. The quickly donned T-shirts emblazoned with pictures of their dead son as an act of protest.

The president, spying the couple on the sidewalk from his limousine, smiled and waved.

"He was waving like a maniac," Ray Maida said. "He thought we were there to support him. He was clueless that we were there to show him the face of war."

[...]

"Nightline" is expected to air a segment on the Maida family in the near future.
