SIGH!!

Nevermind...

I think it's time for somebody else to take over photo-linking.

I'm working on it.

Great report! I listen to Sean everyday and love his show, but of course, today I had to work and miss it, darn it! Love that you got to tell Jihad Lannie Davis what a scum he is.
I don't think Sean is coming to my area, but I am going to buy his book and I know I will love it!
Thanks so much DC Chapter for representing us in such a commendable way!

As always, I enjoyed hearing you take on Lyin Lanny on the radio (and seeing you both on Hannity & Colmes). If MSNBC wanted to get their ratings out of the toilet, how about replacing Dumbahue with a debate/guest show entitled Levin and Davis?

[3D-JOY]

Congratulations on a great Freep all you DC members!

I wish I could have joined you again.

The report is wonderful. I was listening on the radio, and knew you were there, but this fills in all the blanks.

You represent us all very well. Thank You!

ironman is good at linking pics. Call him up and get his butt out of bed........just joking. Thanks for the college try. The captions have piqued my interest.

Dang! I thought about going. My ten year old son wanted to go but I had a hundred errands to run, so basically I screwed up and made a bad decision.

I didn't see anything on FR about people going but I should have known better. Can you please add me to your ping list?

I've been rather apolitical for the the past two years and I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!

It sounds like Sean Hannity's booksigning was a successful event. I wish for him great success with his book as I'm sure the rest of the FReepers do. Even though I don't know you guys personally, somehow I feel so proud of you all for all of the effort you put into what you believe is right. Trueblackman - if/when you have to miss a special social event to be on your friends show...kristinn -- if/when you are writing your notes for some FR event -- never get down or think that your hard work and effort doesn't make a difference; it does...sooooo much. Not only does the DC chapter represent the DC chapter but all of us who live in places far away from our nations capital. You are people who represent 'we the people' - the grassroots conservatives/constitutionalists/etc of America - who would be standing there beside you all if we could. Thanks to all of you, you guys and gals are the 'bestest'!!!!!!!!!!

"Who was the woman who wanted to debate Lannie after a break but I didn't hear her mentioned again. I wondered if she was a Freeper!"

She wasn't a Freeper. She sat in the front row, and during the break, Davis went over to her and they had their little whatever. Whatever the whatever was, I couldn't tell, but Lanny/Lannie? was smiling all the time.

During all the breaks, both he and Mark Levin went around shaking hands.

Sean was a sweetheart! He loved having the audience, and with all the fun he was having, he never lost the points he was trying to make with his guests.

When he was signing my book, he asked what name. I said "Exit 148". He stopped and looked at me. I quickly said that it was my Freeper handle, and that brought a big smile. He then went to his mike and mentioned Free Republic's 'Cheney's House' bit.

He is really cute! Thinner than TV, of course, and completely relaxed. It was quite warm, and his mike was set-up near a sunny window. When he came in, he was wearing a jacket, blue shirt and no tie, but because of the heat, the jacket soon came off.

A fun afternoon!

So, is there anything of actual interest in the book itself, or is it another one of these "Hey, my agent says I hafta cobble together something to capitalize on my temporary fame!" deals?

Insights, or nostrum rehash?

[kristinn]

Thanks! The D.C. Chapter has worked hard to maintain its integrity and good reputation. Sean (and others) recognize that.

[bootless]

Hey kristinn! You guys RAWK!!!

I hope I can make it to Sean's appearance in San Francisco - I have to work Monday night and can't make the Commonwealth Club appearance. So glad to hear you guys welcomed him to the event in true Freeper Style! Just finished listening to the Hour 2 replay on KSFO.

I send his producer quite a bit of the original and not-as-easy-to-find stuff, and it sounds like hostile callers haven't turned him from the conservative warriors on FreeRepublic.

Eagles UP!!!

[kristinn]

I'm sure that appearance will be packed, too. Go early!

[kristinn]

I was wondering where Ms. Black went.

It was Doctor Raoul whom she swore at one Sunday afternoon at the White House. She swore at Angelwood the next day, also.

Ms. Black was bit nicer to the D.C. Chapter later on when we were outside 'Cheney's house.'

Kudos to the D.C. Chapter. All of you have certainly earned that excellent reputation attributed to your group over the years.

How do I find out where he's going to be? Mainly I'm wondering if he's gonna make a trip out here to San Diego.

Thanks to whoever replies!

...Sean opened the broadcast by saying,
"We're here in Washington, D.C. at Borders Books.
In the audience we have the Free Republic D.C. Chapter...."

Woo Hoo! Way to go, DC Chapter!!!

This forum needs MORE FRiends like Sean in the conservative media.

Thank you for promoting our good name - with your ACTIONS.

Go, Sean, Go!
