There was a day in Autumn of 2000, when then Governor Bush came to my town, during the national campaign. I happened to be standing in the back of a room, in a very small venue, completely surrounded by the "national press corps" trailing the presidential candidate at that time. There was one thing that is most memorable about that evening, and it is the way that those national reporters.....smelled. It was horrific. And I'm not joking.
And their little snide remarks mocking the candidate, while I stood amongst them, did nothing to endear me to them.
So my diatribes have some meat to them. It truly is a sad deal. It has been getting worse as the years go by. They will trample over anyone or anything that gets in their way.
And I bet most of them both male and female would not last two weeks at Parris Island or San Diego MCRD's.
At a campaign rally here in Portland I wanted to inspire GW since he was trailing by double digits. I set a trap for the press, he called on me for a question. I asked after telling how proud I was of his handling of the economy and war, "can I get inaugaration tickets?" He cracked up and said he appreciated my optimism. This was broadcast nationally on CSPAM.
A week later the Old York Times wrote a snide article about the softball questions he was getting on his tour. You guessed it, "one of the questions in Portland OR was 'can I get inaugaration tickets?'" Across all of America, we have just begun to fight!!
They are not as smart as they think!
