Bush's motorcade departs political fundraiser at 'Broken Spoke Ranch' >>>
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 10:57 PM by Stephanie






President Bush's motorcade departs a political fundraiser at the 'Broken Spoke Ranch' near his own Crawford, Texas, home, Friday, Aug. 12, 2005. As he returned to his ranch, Bush passed anti-war protesters supporting 'peace mom' Cindy Sheehan who has accused President Bush of lying about the war in Iraq which claimed the life of her son, Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan.

2. Is this the place that they stock the place with deer to kill, like
the shrub has a fake lake, stocked with trout?

4. I'm willing to bet money that the hamburgers
choked as they went down, the beer turned to vinegar in their mouths as it went down. The mood was probably subdued. Even though they tried to be jolly and have a great time, they were all thinking about the Bombshell down the road.

If I could be a Fly on a Tree Trunk, this is what I'd probably see: Bush trying his level best to be funny. There were some polite chortles, but nothing like in Days Past when they would become absolutely Maniacal. Now, it's hard to paste on a smile, and even that looks phoney.

They're all wondering: when will these people leave? For God's sake, these people are massing down there!!! Can't they be arrested. One person whispers, "These folks are like a cancer down here, they're ruining everything". Bush is quiet, because he's been advised to not say anything.

As the checks are being signed, the partygoers ponder Cindy Sheehan and how far she's willing to go on this. Secretly, they hope Bush will leave before his 5-week vacation is up. Then Cindy can follow Bush back to Washington, like she's promised.

At this thought, they turn back to Bush, who's staggering around, stuttering and trying to be funny. Their eyes narrow.......

5. Two questions for Ms. Rochelle Scholar:
1. Where are all the other "pro-Bush protestors"?

2. How many couch cushions died to make that outfit?

9. I don't know if she's there while the chimp drives by
Those people only stayed for about half an hour - I don't think they were there when he drove by
