New York's summer social season started not at the Hamptons, but tonight at the Museum of Modern Art with the book party for former President Bill Clinton's memoirs, My Life. Tout le monde came and went to bask in Clinton's afterglow and to pay homage to the only Democrat in the last quarter century to occupy the White House.
While they may say they came to celebrate his presidency, deep inside they know they really came to see the man who brought Monica Lewinsky to her knees in the Oval Office.
Outside the museum, two FReepers (Doctor Raoul and firebrand) stood across the street greeting the celebrants with this reminder: a large sign that said, "IF OSAMA WAS A PIECE OF ASS, CLINTON WOULD HAVE NAILED HIM."
Sixty Minutes fossil Andy Rooney was the first to encounter the Osama sign bearers. He walked over, read the sign and silently walked away.
Clinton apologist Joe Conason said, "He's a horse's ass" about Raoul to a group taking pictures.
The two FReepers got a fair amount of media interest. Most of the local TV news channels filmed and interviewed them. Look for coverage on the 10 or 11 o'clock news, or in the morning.
Raoul and firebrand had a good time bantering with passersby and some of the guests who were leaving the party.
Scarborough Country just showed a still picture of Doctor Raoul holding the sign.
Bill Clinton must hate you guys.
:-)
BTW, firebrand wanted me to let the Tri-State Chapter members know that she learned about this freep a few hours ago when Raoul asked her to join him so that's why word didn't get passed on.
as laura says BJ is on operation rescue image mode....I cant really sum it up better then that....
PING!
Rats, missed it.
Anyone know when Scarborough repeats? I have to go to work, am running late right now....
Woo Hooooo!
PLEASE tell us you did the Cops Cheer!
I don't know, I always miss Scarborough because I can't stand MSNBC. 'Pod might know.
They were talking about doing it. I'll ask next time they check in.
Dr. Raoul = Protest Commando

Outside the museum, two FReepers (Doctor Raoul and firebrand) stood across the street greeting the celebrants with this reminder: a large sign that said, "IF OSAMA WAS A PIECE OF ASS, CLINTON WOULD HAVE NAILED HIM."From a PREVIOUS FReep:
I love Doctor Raoul!
What a great sign!
Raoul nailed Clinton!
Talk about a badge of honor!
Not many people can lay claim to being called a horse's ass by the one and only browneye himself, Joe Conason.
Outstanding!
Thanks for digging up the pic. It was taken back in February, 2003. Good signs never go out of style...

Good signs never go out of style...You got THAT right. :o)
It would make a good screen saver, eh?

Darn! Too bad he's not coming to my small town. I would borrow Doctor Raoul's sign.
