Actress Drew Barrymore is filming a documentary aimed at persuading young people to vote. She recently happened upon members of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, the conservative grass-roots network, as they conducted a Washington protest.
"Can I ask you guys a question?" Miss Barrymore said. "You come out and you protest. Do you feel that it makes a difference? Do you feel that you reach people?"
Group leader Kristinn Taylor answered: "We used to do this down at the White House every Saturday for a couple years when Bill Clinton was there. It goes like this" and here Mr. Taylor turned to his fellow Freepers, to have them join in the chant. "You guys ready? One, two, three: 'Bill Clinton, we have you surrounded! Drop the cigar, step away from the intern, and come out with your pants up.' "
"Wow," said the actress.
"The first time we did that," Mr. Taylor said, "the Secret Service officer who was working the gate started laughing so hard he doubled over and walked behind the guard shack to compose himself."

This happened outside the White House Correspondents Dinner FReep on Saturday, May 1, 2004. Drew Barrymore was very nice and spent quite a bit of time with us. It was fun to do the Cop's Cheer once again.

I remember the White House map you used to pass out. I must have printed at least 2000 of those maps and passed them around here in the "other" Washington :-)

I don't know Drew Barrymore's politics (most likely liberl), but if she has paid any attention, the movies she does where she plays a "good girl" do better than the ones where she plays a slut.

The White House Map we handed out was printed out in color by helpful FReepers and Lurkers who then sent them to me. I calculated that we distributed more than 15,000 copies of the Clinton White House Legacy Map while we protested outside the tourist gate at the White House.

What fun for you guys to get to do the famous cheer for Drew's cameras. If it makes it into her film, I"ll be surprised, but at least she got a taste of how normal people viewed Bill Clinton's obscene Oval Office behavior.
"Get Out Of Cheney's House" might have tickled her too.
You guys are the greatest!

I like Drew because she is one of the few starlets that is just my size.

I still remember when you were in the gallery of some impeachment-related hearing and you slipped some buttons into that reporter's notebook.
You and the rest of the DC Freepers are too much!

We told her about "Get Out of Cheney's House" when she was asking us whether we thought our protests had any effect or influenced anyone.
I was surprised that Drew Barrymore spent so much time talking to us, but it remains to be seen whether she will use any of the footage in her documentary.
