Ugly American Go Home

"U.S. Envoy's Car Pelted in Venezuela
U.S. Ambassador's Car Pelted by Eggs, Chased for Miles by Motorcyclists in Venezuela

In this image made from television and provided by the U.S. embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, motorcyclists are seen through the embassy's press car as it chases Ambassador William Brownfield's car, white vehicle partially out of the frame at far right, after Brownfield was asked by protesters to leave during a visit to a baseball stadium to hand out bats and other donated equipment to a youth league, in Caracas, Friday, April 7, 2006, according to the U.S. Embassy. Supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez pelted the U.S. ambassador's car with fruit, vegetables, and eggs, and a group of motorcyclists chased his convoy for miles, at times pounding on the cars, a U.S. Embassy official said. No one was hurt. The smears on the window are from thrown eggs. (AP Photo/U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, HO)

1. Almost 50 years since Nixon and his wife were attacked during a tour of
Caracas, Venezuela. Ike offered to send military aid to protect them, but Nixon canceled the rest of the tour.

2. There's a newer post
of this incident, sounds like it's growing legs.
