Thanks for cheering W on...look forward to photos later..

Lurch and Mama T went to church today in Nantucket, where Kerry is taking another "break"...They attend Church at Lady of the Isle in Nantucket; in Idaho, they go to Lady of the Snow...Aw, those rich are so clever.

The Clintons went to church together for the first time in a very long time...Had fun though, laughing and dissing Bush-from the pulpit no less.Former President Clinton, quoting scripture from a church pulpit, sought to frame the 2004 election in moral terms on Sunday and said President Bush's Christianity doesn't keep him from seeing things "through a glass darkly."

Just yesterday Mr. M was predicting another vacation for prostate boy, and lo and behold ... I say, lovely, shall we visit our Nantucket house or the Idaho house or the Boston house ... where else do we have houses? Doesn't really matter, now that you've been such a dear and bought me one of those $7,000 bicycles for each of them!

[mountaineer]

Where's Deuteronomy? Is that before Psalms or after Ephesians?

How the hell do I know, you $)^#! it's not like we've ever read this thing.

[mountaineer]

We must get together. I love Harp!

[daisyscarlett]

I only hope they will show photos of him on the beach with his windsurf or windkite complaining about the lack of good wind...while our dear friends in Fl are fighting back the winds of Frances and Gaston and Hermine.

Are Gaston and Hermine so named because of the complaint last year about hurricanes having too many Anglo names? They had to dig deep in the multicultural name book for those monikers.

[mountaineer]

The name Gaston reminds me of a former governor of our state named Gaston (the governor, not the state) who had a Teresa Heinz-like spouse (sans the money) and a reputation for trolling for adolescent boys. I certainly hope that storm fizzles out!

[pubmom]

It would be my pleasure!

DO NOT miss Kristinn Freep report at the NYC protests today...he was a one-man-riot!

W blew a kiss before exiting the arena, Mr. M swears he was looking right at me! LOL, be still my heart.

It's that gorgeous smile of yours, I tell ya. :-)

[Timeout]

I just saw him blow you the kiss!! (Just before he walked out the door, right?!) It looked great on TV!

[BigWaveBetty]

Oh barf. I caught Geraldo's exclusive interview (one question?) with the toon outside the church. He accused GWB of bearing false witness (!!!!! Yes, he used those exact words!!!!).

It's hard to type when my head is spinning.

Did you hear? The Kerry daughters were booed at the MTV awards tonight. Drudge is running the audio on his show tonight.

HLL update!!

HLL is now in her room after a fabulous party on a cruise ship. Tomorrow she will give a speech in front of The Republican Women of Congress. She's very nervous because she has no speech prepared. She was only told last Friday that she'd be giving this speech.

HLL has her shoes lined up along the window and her roomate says it looks like a fancy shoe store.

They have a corner room with a view of Central Park!

HLL will be having breakfast with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Tomorrow morning.

Here's a picture from the party this evening.

[BigWaveBetty]

I missed it again?! darn it!

[MadelineZapeezda]

m, can I email you the pictures for you to post? How do I get them from my jpg files to FR?

[daisyscarlett]

Wow! HLL is having a great time. Hope she gets an up close look at the twins.

Now I know some will criticize the girls for their attire here but they were dressed quite appropriately for the function and their age group.

The poor Kerry girls, though, need fashion help. Maybe their outfits is what got them booed or could it be their father's military resume "enhancement"? Bless their hearts...

The white jacket. Well, bless her heart.

[pubmom]

They were expecting good manners from an MTV crowd?

[BigWaveBetty]

How old are Vanessa and Alex? Nearing thirty? They should try dressing age appropriately. Jenna and Barbara do and look very cute.

Fun with confetti:

Confetti that will dropped at the Republican Convention in Madison Square Garden features images of President George Bush (news - web sites), his wife Laura Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) and his wife Lynne, and the Cheneys' grandson Philip Perry. The pieces of confetti, measuring about one inch in diameter, were photographed in New York Monday, Aug. 30, 2004. (AP Photo/David Karp)

They were expecting good manners from an MTV crowd?

Well,,, they are related to Kerry, the man who can't believe anyone would question his war record. Stupid definitely runs deep in that family.
