HAW HAW HAW.... I confess I learned about this on another board, but wanted to share the yuks with folks on this board.



"A caravan of a few vehicles, rather than a chartered bus, will take Brown County residents to a pro-Bush rally in Crawford on Saturday, Brown County Veterans Services Officer Billy Murphey said.

Murphey said Thursday that he had decided to cancel the bus because there weren't enough riders to help defray the $1,300 charter fee. Riders would have been asked to donate $25 each toward the cost.

Murphey, who is helping organize the trip, had made tentative plans to charter the 55-seat bus, but said Wednesday that only seven riders had signed up.

He said he anticipates about a dozen residents will make the trip Saturday in four or five vehicles. Travelers will meet the Brownwood Coliseum at 9 a.m. and leave from there, Murphey said.

The rally will be from 1 to 3 p.m. at the community center in Crawford, Murphey said.

More Bush supporters arrived and pitched tents at the newly dubbed "Camp Reality," located in a ditch across the street from the war protesters' site along the main road leading to the president's ranch.

3. YAHOO! Yet the "fair/balanced" media will still give them equal time

It's NOT fair -- if there are only 7 pro-Shrub people and thousands there for Cindy, the coverage ought to reflect that (yet it doesn't). Grrrrrrr............

[eShirl]

HAW HAW HAW.. it doesn't get better!

[Vogon_Glory]

16. Almost All Of Us Here At DU Support Our Troops...

Almost all of us here at DU support our troops, it's just that we don't support the guy playing Commander in Chief at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and in Crawford, Texas.

Take that unpleasant fact down to the Freeperstani caravanserai, lurking right-wingers!

[jedr]

19. I don't think there are any members of d/u who don't support the,

troops ...if so , please post.....the repug line is to change the debate form the war to the troops...kinda like the 911 people were from Iraq thing.

18. "Brown County Veterans Services Officer"

If I lived in Borwn County I'd be a tad upset that one of our county officers was taking such an active part in this pro-Bush event.

[Mountainman]

20. They will be followed by a flat bed full of porta potties.

[zbdent]

21. What? Scaife stopped payment on the check?

Must have gone into debt buying off that Qualls guy . . .

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

22. Are all seven going to get their own Port-a-Potty?

That always seems to be a major issue at Frepper rallies.

[Check12]

24. What are their names?

Bashful
Doc
Dopey
Grumpy
Happy
Sleepy
Sneezy

[TorchTheWitch]

27. You got the names wrong, it's...

Dopey
Dopey
Dopey
Dopey
Dopey
Dopey
Dopey

All of whom are from the Grumpy family.

The rest of those names must be fake ID's... we know none of them are Happy, they certainly aren't Bashful about loudly advertising their stupidity, they're definitely Sleepy since they've been asleep at the wheel as far as what would be obvious to a conscious person is concerned, whether or not any of them are Sneezy is irrelevant seeing as illness is no excuse for idiocy, and they're all far too stupid to ever earn the title Doc.

:rofl:

[Jade Fox]

25. The usual massive turnout. Pardon me while I laugh meanly and love it.

[peekaloo]

28. You would think "Jesus" could at least get 12 people.

29. Some PR firm will pay them $25 to take a bus ride....

Because it's all about appearances. This administration has more acting coaches than Hollywood does.
