Me at a Billionaires for Bush bash today in honor of a Thelma
Edited on Fri Aug-18-06 08:34 PM by rainy
Drake meet and greet. We had a ball. It was way too much fun. Think I'll do it again. I'm in the black on the far left.

4. We were at the Princess Anne area Library at a Coffee With
Thelma event. It was so fun. We stayed in character the whole time and asked the wildest questions. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. Think I'll go into acting. Or, at least more street theatre.

14. Thelma Drake, our congresswoman. We got lots of laughs
and some hisses but we never argued and we remained calm.

We need something similar for Felix Jr.

"A$$hat$ for Allen", perhaps?

10. Rainy did a great job setting this event up
We also had one of our group who was not dressed up video taping the event. After what happened to George Allen with the macacas incident, Thelma was very nervous.

Although the congresswoman told half-truths, down-right lies, resorted to misdirection and evasion, etc., one of the most telling moments occurred when she called Chavez, the democratically elected president of Venezuela, a communist!

Also noteworthy was that Thelma asked Rainy if she was a communist for questioning Drake's and Bush's giving the country away to corporations and the rich.

I guess with Thelma Drake, a person is for her and the deeds of the Bush administration or that person is a communist--nothing in between.

12. Will "Billionaires for Bush" become "Billionaires for (whoever)"?
As in, "Billionaires for Republicans" or "Billionaires for (whoever the '08 GOP nominee is)"?

The alliteration is so perfect with "Bush," though!!

13. Drake votes 97% of the time with Bush
so if you are a billionaire for Bush here you are a billionaire for Drake!

15. Hello Iona
Iona Senator. It was fabulous seeing you today. I do wish Dick hadn't called me during our outing. He's such a bother. We do love him though.
