Just occurred to me -- did Rummy cancel his Freedom Parade?

[theHandpuppet]

Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of "Freedom Parade" or somesuch this weekend to drum up support for the Iraq War? Certainly, that would have been cancelled, wouldn't it?

1. Since it is being "Marketed" as a 9-11 commemoration

I would be surprised if the canceled it. I would also be surprised if it got as much media coverage as they expected.

2. You'd think so, but, no. It's still on.

Good. I hope they hold it. There will be a backlash from the public like no other.

4. That really surprises me

But since those fools are so clueless, I guess it really shouldn't.

3. I wonder if Nero will march with them?

I hope it gets massive media coverage.

5. Should the troops give him the gladiator's salute

... as they pass by the emperor's platform?

9. what's the best thing Letterman could say to him to do the most damage,

I wonder.If Letterman wants to,I mean.

8. You mean 9/11-Palooza?

That's next weekend. And why cancel it when you've got a trifeca going? It's an opportunity to "celebrate" the deaths of the 9/11 victims, the "rescue" of the New Orleans victims, AND the Iraqi war! Stop being a wet blanket--sign up for the march, get screened, attend the Clint Black concert afterwards, and flaunt your freedom in those terrorists' godless faces! 9/11-Palooza--PARRRRR-TAY!
