I hear ya.

Bad back and arthritis makes for a crawling FReeper sometimes.

We still need you. Boston accent and all ;-)

[M Kehoe]

May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

I will miss you.

It's always sad to lose another of our FReepers. RIP Doctor Raoul

Very sad news. I remember Dr. Raoul. R.I.P.

[sauropod]

LOL! I remember that.

Also, when we FReeped the Democratic “Unity” dinner when Lurch was nominated:

“There is a two drink minimum. Everyone has to buy Ted Kennedy two drinks!”

[M Kehoe]

Hi. Good to see your moniker.

I hope all is well with you.

R.I.P. Doctor Raoul.

RIP Dr. R.

Thanks, I’m doing great.

Classic Doctor Raoul. In front of the White House at a protest and at every Clinton protest thereafter—Doc’s “Cops Cheer” group saying in unison a la over a cop’s bullhorn:

Bill Clinton
We have you surrounded
Drop the cigar
Step away from the intern
And come out with your pants up!

Godspeed, Doc.

[Yossarian]

Nuts. Rest in peace, from another FReeper long-timer.

[Incorrigible]

I remember meeting up with Doctor Raul in Newark, NJ for a Torricelli fund raiser at the NJ PAC. President Clinton was there and we had great fun!

A few months later Doctor Raul and I met in Elizabeth, NJ for a more personal FReep of President Clinton attending a fundraiser at Rep Lesniak’s home.

He was definitely full of personality and character.

[P.O.E.]

Prayers up.

PA Ping!

If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.

Thanks!

Very sad. Prayers for his loved ones.

My favorite Dr Raoul memory was Hillary complaining about how Satan kept showing up at her campaign appearances. Ah, the good ol' days.

I remember the Saturday in the late nineties when I found myself in DC for the weekend. I was moving one of the kids into an apartment.

Four days earlier, I had told Mr ConfettiMan that I was going to try and join them on the Saturday regular protest if I had the chance.

The weather had turned to cold rain and he and others such as the good Dr had left early. I walked the entire fence perimeter twice looking to finally meet them in person. It didn’t happen, much to my disappointment. I told the kid involved that I just pee’d on the fence and left, and knowing how much I detested Clinton, she thought I was serious for a moment.

Both of these young vibrant fellows, activists to the core, ready to put their time on the line, gone way too young. They have my prayers but also my gratitude for their leadership.

[sauropod]

In case you didn’t get the word...

[AnnaZ]

I should also mention that the good Dr. was also my Ann Coulter connection. His family should know that they were friends.

[Sunshine Sister]

So sad to hear this. Rest in peace Dr. Raoul.

Prayers.
