Haunting Hillary in Huntington (Carl Limbacher, Mike Seigel, and Sean Hannity Show Up)

Doctor Raoul and I met at Penn Station (thanks to cell phones--who knew there were two Acela waiting rooms?). The Doctor had already come up on the NJ Coast Line, with his Santa's sack of signs and costumes, plus bullhorn (which we were not allowed to use). We caught the 4:01 to Huntington and were met at the train by deadhead and alisasny.
When the four of us got to the site, there were already a young man and a young woman holding signs. They were from Marist College. Later, other wonderful kids from Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset, Cold Spring Harbor High School, and Saint Anthony's High School joined us, dressing up in the Doctor's devil costumes and masks. Other people stood with us throughout, simply feeling they belonged on our side of the street, across from the bookstore.
There was lots of yelling from one side of the street to the other. Usually we started it and then received lame, low-IQ replies.
Alisasny and nickyg33 brought their banners, created by abner. Nicky's said "Go Home Hillary" and alisasny's said "Hillary V.I.P. / Vicious Insufferable Phoney." These things are huge and need at least two people to hold them up. They are extremely effective. Raoul now has at least one of them to use at future demonstrations.
As reported on another thread, Carl Limbacher was there throughout almost the entire event. Sean Hannity came by in his SUV and was immediately mobbed by our side of the street. What a great guy he is in person--accessible and sincere. Then Mike Seigel arrived a little later.
We did interviews with Jewish World, Newsday, and other publications.
At one point, the owner (?) of the pub we were standing in front of came out to tell us not to hold the "Go Home Hillary" banner in front of his place. We started to move, then someone who had been standing with us said not to, so we went back. He came out again and made a fuss, so we compromised by standing in front of his pub but in the street rather than on "his" sidewalk. Someone speculated that a few of the people standing with us were plain-clothes cops, but of course we didn't know this for sure. The Secret Service guy came over and eyeballed us in the beginning, and then he and others repaired to the Batmobile area. It was parked right across from us with traffic cones around it. The Suffolk County cops were very pleasant.
All in all, a delightful freep, one of the best ones I have been to. We went to the territorial Democrat's pub afterwards and told war stories about other freeps. Our little group had to break up soon after than, and alisasny ran me and the Doctor back to the train station.
Well, she speculated about a devil, and she got two. Plus a Laura Bush (holding a sign that said "I Know Where My Husband Is Sleeping"), a Hillary with an Arafat scarf facsimile, and of course the hilarious Rodham Hussein.
We await deadhead's pictures to be posted on this thread later.

Fantastic costume. Are those students (seemingly have a grand old time) from Marist College? My spirits soar as there's apparently hope for the next generation.
Nicky, there's no mistaking where those wonderful banners come from. I still have the 6ft. "GO HOME HILLARY" banner in the trunk of my car itching to be aired. Let's hope she makes a run for it in 2004.

"Good pics sis, did you give Hillary my regards?"Thank You, John. For a while, I wore a Laura Bush mask and carried this sign. (Not an actual photo LOL):

Hey Doctor, you may want to try the Rodham skirt next time. I bet your legs aren't as fat, but the hair might be a special touch.
To: deadhead
Good pictures! Thanks for the ping!!!!!
