I am hoping that some venturesome journalist will pass along my Media Diversity Test to the multicultural masses at UNITY. Test-takers get five points for every statement they mark "YES."

1. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life.
2. I think my taxes are too high.
3. I supported Bill Clinton's impeachment.
4. I voted for President Bush in 2000.
5. I am a gun owner.
6. I support school voucher programs.
7. I oppose condom distribution in public schools.
8. I oppose bilingual education.
9. I oppose gay marriage.
10. I want Social Security privatized.
11. I believe racial profiling at airports is common sense.
12. I shop at Wal-Mart.
13. I enjoy talk radio.
14. I am annoyed when news editors substitute the phrase "undocumented person" for "illegal alien."
15. I do not believe the phrase "a chink in the armor" is offensive.
16. I eat meat.
17. I believe O.J. Simpson was guilty.
18. I cheered when I learned that Saddam Hussein had been captured.
19. I cry when I hear "Proud To Be an American" by Lee Greenwood.
20. I don't believe The New York Times.

I couldn't vote in 2000, but I campaigned like hell for him.

I had to make up for being a young and stupid Clinton supporter in 1996!  

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- We'll be counting how many cheers President Bush receives this morning when he speaks to the Unity 2004 convention of minority journalists here.

He probably won't receive the 48 rounds of applause Sen. John Kerry got while he spoke here yesterday, even if he does talk about choking on donkeys and swallowing elephants. (Kerry hits Bush reaction to 9/11 attack news)

And hopefully, Bush won't use his new line, spoken at a White House bill signing yesterday. "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." (And with that, a Bushism was born. Bush misspeaks during signing ceremony)

Then again, that rousing show of support that Unity gave Kerry could hurt him more than it helps. It certainly didn't do much for the so-called objective journalists -- most of whom, it should be noted in fairness, don't cover politics.

After addressing the convention, Bush travels today to Stratham, New Hampshire, for a picnic expected to draw some 4,000 people. He then heads for a rare weekend of downtime (these days) in Kennebunkport, Maine, where he'll attend his nephew's wedding Saturday.

Jeb's son and the president's 28-year-old nephew -- George Prescott Bush, or "P" to friends and family -- is marrying Amanda Williams at a private ceremony on the Bush family compound. The happy couple met while attending law school at the University of Texas in Austin, we hear, and started dating after P asked Amanda if she would join him for a round of golf.

In Kennebunkport, Bush is sure to pass the unofficial campaign office that a group of bold Dems have opened for Kerry-Edwards in this strongest of Bush strongholds. (Unofficial perhaps. But something tells us that Jesse Derris, Kerry's Maine man, had something to do with this.) Or maybe Bush will see one of their baseball caps, embroidered with the single word, "Kerrybunkport."

Partisan Cheers at Unity Upset Some Attendees

By E&P Staff

Published: August 09, 2004 12:21 PM EST

NEW YORK The historic Unity convention in Washington is over but what it is being remembered for, at least in some corners of the media, is not the huge turnout of more than 7,000, but controversy over the alleged partisanship shown by many of the attendees in responding to separate speeches by presidential candidates Bush and Kerry.

Commentary on this issue continued over the weekend and into Monday.

John Temple, editor of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, praised the meeting overall and said he was "inspired" by it -- but noted in a column that the partisanship (evidenced by "cheering and whistling" during Kerry's speech) was "something I had never experienced in a crowd of journalists."

Helen Ubinas, another attendee, wrote in The Hartford (Conn.) Courant that she was "in the minority, as it were" who acted like "a professional, not a partisan" in responding to Kerry. There was snickering during Bush's address and the crowd rose at the end, "but not for much longer than it took to head to the door." Ubinas' explanation: Kerry connects with the "advocacy side" of Unity journalists. But showing preference for one candidate, she added, "is the ultimate betrayal -- to everyone."

Akilah Johnson, a reporter at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Delray Beach, Fla., told USA Today, "It was a little awkward for me. I guess a lot of people were acting like citizens, not reporters." Unity President Ernest Sotomayer pointed out that many Unity members, including those who were covering the event or planned to report on it later, did not cheer. Those who did, he said, are "people who vote, and they have a right to express themselves" when they're not working.

But Seattle Times reporter Florangelea Davila told her paper, "It was so offensive and awful, and I hated it. It was clearly inappropriate. It was ridiculous." Houston Chronicle Suburban Editor Pete McConnell said he was "embarrassed" by the crowd reactions to Bush and Kerry: "As a group we should have kept ourselves in check."

Bob Steele, ethics expert at the Poynter Institute, called public outbursts favoring one candidate "unprofessional and unethical." Others pointed out that some of those cheering on Kerry were with his campaign or were attending the convention but were not journalists. And not all journalists at the Unity meeting work for the mainstream media. Some are employed by the alternative and advocacy press. Others are columnists who are paid to express their opinions.

Some reporters at a recent convention of minority journalists said they were stunned and embarrassed by the partisanship displayed at two separate speeches, with cheers for Sen. John Kerry and snickers for his opponent, President Bush.

Editor and Publisher, the industry magazine, compiled comments from reporters around the country who attended last week's Unity 2004 Journalists of Color Conference in Washington, D.C., along with about 7,000 other journalists.
