"invitation only event "

yeah - I seem to recall that they never mentioned it when Clinton came to town and it was ONLY union-goons who paid $$ allowed to see him. (or snakes - er, trial lawyers, who paid top $$$ to see him).

But we are Republicans and are used to this kind of treatment. If that's the worst thing they can say - they really are scrapping the bottom of the bottom of an empty barrel.

[kayak]

Good point you make about them scraping the bottom of the barrel!

Btw, your remark about snakes lawyers reminded me of another of the zingers in Bush's speech today. Talking about the terrorism insurance bill he said .....

There's been over $8 billion worth of projects that have been delayed because they can't get insurance. That means 300,000 workers aren't working. You see, if we want to do something to make sure the job base continues, Congress needs to get moving on a terrorism insurance bill. (Applause.)

And this bill has got to be good for hard-hats, not lawyers.

The audience really loved that one ..... hehe!
