It was there that I met Rick Lazio. I went up to him and told him what I did to Hillary last summer at her book signing.

In my book, your gig there ("Who's that on the cover of the book?") ranks among the very top strata of Uber Freeps...

HLL great report! I hope that dufus who attcked you gets time for his brutality. I am so appreciative of your efforts to report your experience.

If you have a chance please PING me when you post the other pictures.

I am very PROUD to be associated with FReepers like YOU!

Great report C.

However I must say that I am gravely disappointed that you didn't mention one of the highlights of your convention was meeting Iowa Granny.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

The BIGGEST highlight of the GOP National Convention in New York City was meeting Iowa Granny in the GOP Marketplace at my hotel.

I can't see your pictures...:( ...and I don't know why not!

A page from our district was roughed up by the Aids protestors. He's the nicest kid -- sophomore at Marquette U and son of a Lutheran minister -- and doesn't desrve to be hit in the face. Luckily he's OK, but they drew blood on him. He got to sit in one of teh boxes with the dignitaries the night it happened for a little consolation.

Answer, I guess all of them because none got in.)

Well, some baddies did get in. They hustled two people out of Bush's acceptance speech, and my young friend was hit in the face by the aids protesters -- that was inside, as I understand it!

Great report. How many people were at the McCain party? Did he invite the whole convention?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

We spent over $275 million dollars in New York.

Congrats on a great effort - sorry to hear about your run-in with the (*%&%$#$ protester.

I'd like to know where you got that figure. Seems THAT would be a great thing to publicize.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I'd like to know where you got that figure.

I got it from Fox News on Friday morning before I left New York. I know I dropped over a grand and I was not going out and splurging by any means.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I know I dropped over a grand

We attend a particular convention that lasts almost a whole week on a yearly basis and spend that much easily. Conventions are big business, but this amount of GOP spending was pretty much unreported, except for that source. I heard it nowhere else.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

OK folks, here are some more photos from the convention!!

[Chieftain]

Thanks for the pics! They are AWESOME. But I think you should see a doctor about that black mark thing.

[Bahbah]

Nice pics, but who is the lovely lady who is trying to remain incognito? The smile is pretty.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

That's ME! :P

May I borrow your gorgeous red hair?
Pretty please?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Here's one that you might like from July.

Oh my goodness...
My friend Tamsey got to be THAT CLOSE to her just
last week!!!!

Ooooo...I'm green!

I bet Lady Laura would like to borrow your luscious locks, too!

How did you get so lucky?

[Tamzee]

Hey, thanks for the ping!

I saw this thread when Hillary's Lovely Legs first posted it and never got to these the BEST PICS :-)

Heavens, she is pretty... Laura Bush, too :-)

I'm jealous of her gorgeous red hair myself - brown hair is the dullest thing on the planet and I'm too chicken to play with it LOL

I wasn't quite that close to Laura, but being just a few feet away from her and Dubya was certainly closer than I ever thought I would be... a day I'll never forget.
