Searchlight... Local Dems create a potty shortage! LOL

[Joanne98]

Today the Teabag Party Express starts it 2010 World Tour in Searchlight, Nevada, home of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Organizers said they are expecting 10,000 people. It's a little something I'm calling the Clown Show in the Desert.

Searchlight's population, according to teh Googles, is 798. It was 576 after the 2000 census.

Holy freakin' clown show, Batman! This oughta be fun!

Eclectablog's diary :: :: My friend who lives in Las Vegas wrote me yesterday and had this to say:

Tomorrow the Tea Baggers vomit all over Searchlight, Nevada, hometown of Sen. Harry Reid. Poor little Searchlight with their less than 1,000 population! Our little rally in support of Sen. Reid will be approximately two miles away. With only 600 of us to their 10,000, we'll be seriously outnumbered, but hey, we couldn't afford to pay the way of everyone in the country who wanted to come to Vegas for the day like they did. I'm not foolish enough to think we won't encounter any of baggers along the two-lane road in and out of Searchlight but we rented all the public venues except for the one they're using, and we've got a commitment from Metro to have "dozens" (hear that? That's the sound of a decidedly underwelmed sigh of relief) of uniformed officers out there to make sure they don't venture anywhere they're not supposed to. Searchlight - one restaurant, one McDonalds, and no public toilets. This should be real interesting.

Did I mention clown show?

But, actually, there will be public toilets. 38 of them according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. That's um ... divide by two...carry the four... one Port-A-Potty for every 263 Teabaggers. Man, I hope they don't drink too much tea!

Note in my friend's email that the local Dems rented out all the public venues in Searchlight except the one the Teabaggers are using. I love that. I also love that, in addition to their 600 brave protesting, pro-sanity folks, Reid supporters are setting up a little "hospitality tent" of their own:

1. i'd like an accurate head count....10,000 is a pipedream and media bullshit

2. A toilet shortage could be disastrous...

3. Here's the Searchlight McDonald's phone number.....I just called them

McDonald's

I just called them and told them not to let the teabaggers use the bathroom because they have venereal diseases. Herpes and if they let them use the toilet, the Health Department will have to come out.
