Snowball fight erupts during president’s healthcare message

President Bush was in Grand Rapids, Mich., last week to unveil the administration’s health-care reform plan.

“I wish people who think he’s inarticulate could have seen him talking without notes,” said Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich), who accompanied the president on the trip from Washington on board Air Force One.

Meanwhile, outside an estimated 500 pro- and anti-Bush demonstrators clashed in a savage snowball fight.

“There was about 10 inches on the ground,” reported Ehlers, so opposing forces had plenty of ammo.

By the time order was restored, several demonstrators were arrested. But Ehlers, a professor at UC-Berkeley in the 1960s, wasn’t impressed.

“Nothing like a Vietnam protest,” he said of the melee, in which outnumbered Bush supporters routed their opponents, according to one participant, by using “better target selection and superior firepower.”

Way to go guys in MI!

Nice! By the way, I can't remember if Gothmog was "lord of the Balrogs" or "hammer of the underworld."

“Nothing like a Vietnam protest,” he said of the melee, in which outnumbered Bush supporters routed their opponents, according to one participant, by using “better target selection and superior firepower.”

The real secret to victory was the lefties' aversion to water, frozen or otherwise...it's too much like bathing.

Now, THAT'S FUNNY.

Next time, give 'em guns!

[Gothmog]

Hah! Nice memory, most people have to look it up. Gothmog was the son of Melkor/Morgoth, truly the leader of the Balrogs, the Captain of Angband (Sauron was only Morgoth's wimpy lieutenant) and he did have a fell hammer. Killed some snotty elf-lord with it.

In Return of the King, Sauron's weak minions named the giant ram they used to knock down the gates of Minas Tirith "Gothmog."

I Rule, ha ha ha.

[Gothmog]

And I just now remembered who Puddleglum was. Seen any giants around while looking for eels?

Great, now the left will be calling for snowball control.

Last time we got a good snow I went looking for my spud gun but couldn't find it. Wonder if I can shoot 4 " snowballs without melting them first.

"outnumbered Bush supporters routed their opponents, according to one participant, by using better target selection and superior firepower"

This is priceless ...!!

"...it's too much like bathing."

LOL. Hey, conspiracy folks - is this some kind of connection with France? Or just some lefty psychic undertone?

[Green Kayak]

Is a slushball considered a WMD?

[Gothmog]

It depends. To peaceniks, a slushball thrown by an American at an Iraqi is slaughter. A slushball thrown by an Iraqi at an American is justifiable retribution against an omnipresent oppressor.

"By the time order was restored, several demonstrators were arrested. But Ehlers, a professor at UC-Berkeley in the 1960s, wasn’t impressed.

'Nothing like a Vietnam protest,' he said of the melee..."

Very telling. His only point of reference.

[Green Kayak]

So...I guess that's the only way Iraq can win: if Hell freezes over...
