Okay, so which muckety-muck was in Dallas this afternoon?
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 05:11 PM by Prisoner_Number_Six
I30 going west toward downtown was all blockaded, and as I headed east toward the outskirts of town I saw the convoy. Impressive, about a blue billion cops, vans, and SUVs. I was too busy trying to get around the 20mph rubberneckers to take notice of any limos or flags thereupon.

Just curious.

1. Ha-Ha! Your turn!
When Clinton was president he'd often turn Boston into a parking lot for hours on end while he attended fundraisers, got his hair cut, and did other stuff that was important to the functioning of our country.

Now it's your turn.

3. I'd rather be held up in traffic because of a visit from President Clinton
any day over pResident Squatter. But that little shit only comes to San Antonio for photo ops with wounded soldiers at Ft Sam Houston. :puke:

I feel much better now. In fact, I'm glad Clinton held me up.

11. Was Fundraising Also Pure Fiction?
I sat in traffic for hours while Clinton was partying for dollars. We simply parked our cars in the middle of the street until his motorcade returned to the airport.

How thoughtful.

5. I miss Dallas in the old days
Jeepers, you could get around just fine there then. Nowadays, I skate through or around as best I can. There are traffic jams out by the baseball stadium in Arlington at 6:30 in the morning. Been there, done that. It's all gone crazy, IMO.

September 25: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

the woman in the bed is better than a VS supermodel and those clothes are useless window dressing. I wouldn't sweat it.
