Angelwood made up a t-shirt with the infamous Alan Diaz - AP photo of Elian being seized at machinegun point centered. CLINTON'S LEGACY was over the photo and FOR THE CHILDREN was captioned under the photo with www.freerepublic.com at the bottom. Earlier at the White House protest, she asked Kristinn if he would like to wear it to protest. He put it on over his other shirt and wore it all day.
When Kristinn joined the conversation with Matt Drudge, Matt noticed the t-shirt right away and commented that he'd like to have one to wear at the dinner. Kristinn literally offered him the shirt off his back...and Matt Drudge accepted. One of ironman's pictures shows Matt holding the Elian t-shirt while ELS discusses it with him.
We tried to decide the best way for Matt Drudge to smuggle the t-shirt into the dinner. He had to go through Secret Service security checks so a big bulge in his tuxedo pocket was out. JulieRNR21 folded the shirt up and began unbuttoning Matt Drudge's tuxedo shirt right in the middle of the street. She was intent on putting it under his shirt, but it was still too bulky and Matt said they would think he was carrying a gun. JulieRNR21 reassured Matt the whole time she was undressing him, "Don't worry, I could be your grandmother." JulieRNR21 has lots of tales for her grandchildren after this evening.
Matt finally decided that he would try to put the t-shirt on under his dress shirt so he could flash Elian's picture later.

Hey, I found the after-action report from the year when Matt Drudge met us outside and then wore our Elian t-shirt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Julie -- I had forgotten how helpful you were. LOL

Angelwood....I still can't believe that I had the nerve to start unbuttoning his shirt.....but I was determined to help him get it into the Dinner to 'flash' Reno & anyone else he could!

What fun we had that night...I also remember our FREEP of the 'demonic duo' who came to the dinner in separate limos! Remember how we all sprinted down to the corner as the entourage turned down a side street probably to avoid passing our corner? However, we made sure that they saw us!
