Interesting ... Capitol Police held two *separate* meetings with House members ...

[eppur_se_muova]

one with Dems, one with Repubs.

Now, why should party affiliation make a difference? Hmmm?

Maybe when they briefed the Repugs they just said "Don't worry, these are your people shooting"?

If not, it seems a tad curious.

1. I'm sure they gave a message target to each in terms of risk...

which would have been rather delicate, had both been together, I'm sure.

4. Oh, of course-- "Rule No. 1 -- Look out for Republican nuts!" :^D

I can see where that would be awkward.

2. Yes! I was going to post about this when I heard it today!! Do the Republicans

get better security than the Dems? How UN-bipartisan! I wonder how that was decided, we should see if we can find out (meaning let's ask Rachel, Ed, KO to find out. :7)

3. Hopefully he told the repubs to shut the f up... oops, where is my unity?

5. Told Dems

" Mentally unbalanced right wing nut jobs might try to shoot you because hate radio says clean air is a communist plot to kill all white people" told the repugs " Some liberal might frown in your general direction".
