Bush Sr actually rolled down his window and waved when he saw the Free Republic signs.

I always liked that man!

WOW - what excitement you had. Not to mention skating too close to the edge there with the anarc idiots. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for the account! I actually encountered about 1,000 screaming leftists while walking home from work last night. Consider yourself lucky you were in such good company.

I don't know about any ball, but a friend had lunch or something next to W on the 20th and said you get energy just being in the same room as him.

Thanks for the report - I probably wouldn't have been able to restrain myself when those whack-job assclowns came a disruptin'. I especially get upset when they do their antics in front of kids.

I saw about 12 grey-haired hippy wannabes at the state capitol today protesting Bush. I didn't see the anarchist crowd there though.

I thought anarchists were "non-violent". Well, they never gave me a problem personally. They only pick on women from my experiences in dealing with them. Real "tough guys".

Anyway, cops in full riot gear showed up and seperated the crowd and we just so happened to be on the right side of the street, or else we were not going through the checkpoint anymore. I think the police just got fed up with those idiots.

I got that feeling too. I was on the way to one of the balls last night. About 2 blocks from the ball entrance the cops set up a security parameter and they were only letting people with tickets in. Our group was walking there from the nearest metro and some flea-bitten hippie protester types started slithering along side us as if they thought they could slip in with about a dozen or so Bush supporters that were walking towards the door. We all had tuxedos and fancy clothes on so they really stuck out - a smelly unshaven scraggling looking guy in hippie rags from the resale shop and a short haired abortion banshee type in a sweatshirt. But they were trying to slip in anyway.

As we approached the cops they asked for tickets and were very polite to us. They quickly spotted the hippies though and pulled them aside. The male hippie started getting irate and claimed he was just passing through, at which point the cops got right in his face and escorted them both off in the opposite direction. We all thought it was great.

A few minutes later just before we got to the entrance Bush's motorcade of about 10 cars surrounded by cops came driving up and passed right in front of us while turning into the carport. Everybody waved and he waved back.

Thanks for your first hand report.

Especially like the part about George Bush Sr. waving at FR signs.

Sounds like the Ball was just dandy. Alas, I attended the last one but could only listen to the live feed from Doug from Upland on the 'puter this yr. and kept wishing I was there.

Bob Barr sounded just as enthusiastic as he was when I got to meet him and Gary Aldrich at the last Ball.

FReepers rule!!!!

Nice Report!

I have asked the leftist rats "what is a fascist?", they either don't know or spew some wrong rhetoric.

Sounds fabulous! I worked and had to catch up with reruns on tv, but it was definitely history in the making. So glad you got to be there and give us a first hand account.

Cool report. Too bad it was so cold. Love the description about Cheney grnadkids jumping around in limo. Sounds like they had a blast.

As for anarchists coming out of nowhere to start throwing iceballs at you and swinging clubs. Consider the source. They live up to their degenerate reputation. Their gene pool won't allow them to evolve out of their neanderthal mentality. Grunting and snorting (cocaine) is the best they'll ever accomplish in life.
