Waiting to start taping on C-Span2.

Is it just me, or is Eric Alterman a truly repulsive physical specimen?

"Whose idea was the snowman (snowperson?)? It was brilliant."

BillF asks. I dunno: when I got there I was told to shovel, LOL! Whose idea was the snowman's? It WAS brilliant.

[Congressman Billybob]

I saw the C-SPAN coverage that began at 1:05 pm EST on Sunday. In order to make the Rally fit their time frame, they cut out my comments at the beginning. It began with me LEAVING the stage afterwards.

Did something different appear in any other C-SPAN rebroadcast of the Rally? Or did you see my bit from a tape that was shot my a Freeper at the Rally?

Please let me know.

Your remarks were shown in full when the rally was replayed at 1:55 a.m. today.

That time they chopped the ending off.

The showing this morning is a one- hour excerpt that began with Bob Dornan's complete speech and Blanquita Cullum's remarks.

Thank you (again) for making the trek to D.C. It wouldn't be a Patriots Rally without you.

[hellinahandcart]

I bet 'Pod has you on tape, start to finish. :)

[sauropod]

Damn. Must have missed it.

[Taxman]

Thank you for flying all the way FRom the left coast and for bringing those nifty signs. We are very happy that you joined us.

[Taxman]

Don't know whose idea it was, but chicagolady built it, ably assisted by (a snow shoveling) rface.

[FreeTheHostages]

I'm recording the 8 a.m. broadcast (i'm at work but it's recording at home) and my understanding is that's everyone. BTW, we didn't ask them to truncate the Sunday broadcast. They just did it.

Frankly, I'm super grateful to CSPAN for getting something into PRIMETIME CSPAN viewing, Sunday at 1 p.m. EST. SO it's hard to be annoyed that their early broadcast was truncated. Course, I'm not you, LOL. {{{{Billybob}}}} Sorry, I'm sure you are back in today's broadcast.

[AGreatPer]

Billybob, I almost fell over when I saw you today on a re-run. Of course, I was not armed with tape in machine because I thought they were gonna run the same thing. Sorry. They cut off the end part to make up.

It is a pleasure to shake your hand and say "job well done" everytime you speak.

[Jerez2]

This is WONDERFUL. Thank you so much, Dave, you have made my day! Thanks to all Freepers and FRiends who braved the elements to go to the Rally. The photos I saw of you all made me think of Washington at Valley Forge. You are brave and bold, and WE WILL WIN! Love you all!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Drat, I missed Billybob's words on the replay. Figured they'd air the same parts.

At your previous C-SPAN-covered rally, I tried to tape the replay, but that darn daylights time change messed up my taping! Just my luck, eh?

[Congressman Billybob]

Thank you, my friend,

It is always a pleasure to see you and other friends and colleagues in FreeRepublic at our Rallies for America. We all keep each other pumped up and going.

[Congressman Billybob]

Thank you, my friend.

It is always a pleasure and an honor to stand with you, and with all the fine folks on FreeRepublic whom I am proud to call my friends and colleagues. And that is true REGARDLESS of the weather we encounter. "Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet nor dark of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed [statements]."
