Thanks!
I am very proud to be BOTH!

Santa Monica -- John Kerry rolled into Democrat-friendly California on Thursday night, raising money and meeting with Hollywood supporters on a last campaign trip before next week's Republican convention.

Kerry's western swing took him to a Santa Monica fund-raiser Thursday and will bring him to San Francisco and Daly City today as he scrambled to deal with attacks on his military record in Vietnam...

...Kerry's dinner in Santa Monica drew the Democratic faithful. They were met by a handful of protesters who held a brief demonstration in front of the hotel, the Fairmont Miramar.

For 20 minutes or so, a couple of dozen protesters gathered across the street from the hotel. One wore a Flipper costume, complaining about Kerry's alleged flip-flops on some issues, and another wore a Grinch outfit, complete with a lime green mask, criticizing Kerry's claim to have been in Cambodia at one point during his tour of duty as a highly decorated naval officer during the Vietnam War.

Inside the hotel, singer Tony Bennett was the featured entertainment for the few hundred supporters who paid $5,000 a plate to hear Kerry speak in a modest-sized ballroom. Some of the stars who showed up included Anjelica Huston and her husband, the sculptor Robert Graham.

In spite of their attempted SPIN, apparently our little "street theater" DID get through to the Kerry RATs inside. :o)
As President Bush might say:
"Mission ACCOMPLISHED!"
