Bush]] denounced convicted American Taliban associate [[John Walker Lindh]] as "some misguided Marin County hot-tubber," as a reference to the county's liberal, "[[hippie]]" political culture, mispronouncing "Marin" as he did so. Outraged by the label, some local residents wrote scathing letters to the ''[[Marin Independent Journal]]'', complaining of Bush's remarks.
