Well, we freeped 'em, we freeped 'em good.
Gray Davis along with Hillary Clinton and Terry McAuliff came to the Century City Hotel. Why, I'm not certain. The Century City Hotel is located in the heart of, you guessed it, Century City. The area is comprised of modern tall buildings, clean and pristine, and on a weekend, empty streets.
We arrived at about 4:00 p.m. A few minutes later protesters started arriving and we soon amassed about 30-40 people. AnnaZ was there, Badjoe, dalereed, hangfire, TonyinHawaii, and a whole bunch more people
One of the nicest things about this freep were all the non-FreeRepublic people who "spontaneously" showed up. There were some darling girls from UCLA who had the wristbands to be able to get into the function. Apparently in an effort to attract enough people to the event, UCLA students were invited. After standing outside and freeping with us for a while, these absolutely darling girls folded up their signs and tucked them under their shirts and into their pants and decided to battle the devil on its own turf. We didn't see them again. I hope they came out unscathed. They promised to throw in some boos for me during quiet moments.
The democrats did their usual and large busses were seen unloading their groups. I strolled by the hotel to get a better look and, you know what they say about fat middle-aged Republicans, well, the same holds true for what I saw waddling out of those busses.
There was so much going on at the freep today, and I want to be sure to give others a chance to chime in so I'll leave some details out. There were LOTS of honks for us and our signs, believe me, many people know that Davis has got to go.
Badjoe had a wonderful experience. A pro football player who just retired this year, and I can't remember his name right now, sent his lackey out and invited Joe into the hotel for a drink, as he liked Joe's sign and what Joe was saying through the bullhorn. At first I thought it was a ploy to get us to quit freeping, but that was not the case.
Joe went into the hotel and came out to tell this story: He took his sign in with him and met the football player, who also went to Pitt, just as Joe did. They were having a wonderful time talking and Joe had his sign which he was holding up. A security man came over to Joe and told him he'd have to leave since he had that sign. Joe asked him, "Are you with the secret service?" The man said, "No, I'm with hotel security." Joe said, "So that means you don't carry a badge or gun, right?" The man replied, "That is correct sir but I will now have to escort you out of the hotel." Joe politely said that he wouldn't be leaving yet and then introduced him to his "bodyguard," the 6'8" 300-some pound football player. They all had a good laugh, Joe set his sign down and stayed to finish his beer and talk and the security person disappeared.
Some people have all the fun, don't they? I sure wish I could remember the name of the football player for you, he is on TV on a football show, his number was 98 and his name is something like Tory????
Anecdotes aside, this freep was fun, the surroundings were lovely, the people were sensational, the cops and security were there the whole time staring us down, very eerie to me, but it was a great accomplishment.
For you ladies out there, RonDog has great legs and actually looks pretty good dressed up as a hooker, I was impressed. I may go out and buy some fishnet stockings tomorrow, they do wonderful things to a woman, er, person's legs.

Someone somewhere must have taken some pictures.
I'm serious when I say Ron has nice legs, in fact, he's a very nice looking man, and as a woman, not too shabby. It was a beautiful sunny day today so if there are pictures they'll be good, clear ones. I'll flag you if they're posted.
Ron had a stroke of genius with his dressing up as a hooker. It sounds interesting on paper, but it's spectacular in person. Really gets the message across.

Davis, who spoke for less than 10 minutes, also rattled off a list of his victories during his four years as governor.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Get out of my state, you dufus.
To: Auntie Mame
I got myself wired up with work that is interferring with my time on the Forum!
To: Mediaqueen
The TV trucks were lined up on the sidewalk but I think all the camera crews were in the "pit" with duffus and the pants suit. I didn't see one person with a TV camera and as far as I know none of them attempted to have an interview.

"'My opponent is a true blue think tank conservative,' Davis said."
While you, Governor, are a true septic-tank liberal.
To: CounterCounterCulture
About 30 protesters carried signs that stated "Davis: A Name You Can Buy," and "Blackout Davis," as they marched across the street from the hotel. Democrats who attended the rally saw them only as they entered the hotel. "Democrats who attended the rally saw them only as they entered the hotel."
What a bizarre comment in a news article. I've got news for that reporter, they may only have seen us as they entered the hotel, but they HEARD us LOUD and CLEAR when we went underground and chanted DUMP DAVIS, DUMP DAVIS, DUMP DAVIS. We were in a kind of tunnel right outside their rally and the tunnelling effect had to have carried our voices as if we each were manning individual bullhorns.

I just took a look at gray Davis's website and its plain sick. Does this guy campaign on the theory that being very liberal is all he has to do to get re-elected?

"California taught the rest of the country a lesson before Enron made headlines," she said. "California was dealt a bad hand because we know these energy companies drove up prices."PURE Bull S***!

This is wonderful! Thanks for being there today. Did you see Hitlery?

WHOO-HOO! Thanks for the news item, TripleC.

Of course, for a while we went down to their level (literally, and, perhaps, somewhat figuratively) and FReeped loudly from what turned out to be an echo chamber. Rumor has it we drowned out Davis ;^)
Also, many of the hotel guests came out to their balconies to watch and listen to us. WHAT A RIOT!!!

Great report AM! I had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Century Plaza hotel a few years ago. I had beautiful memories of that fabulous experience. That is until I find out that Hillary has now dirtied up the place! Can't wait to see the pictures, and how I wish I could have been there!

Tony! It was so great to finally meet you in person. You looked fabulous in your suit.
To: Auntie Mame
You're right Auntie Mame, why was this "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" disclaimer necessary? Would anyone care to do research on how many AP and LA Times articles started out with, headlined, or had photos of the PROTESTERS, instead of the CONTENT of a Bill Simon appearance? Once you find out, Freep Mail me, and I'll send you the phone numbers to complain to...
To: Auntie Mame; RonDog; AnnaZ; HangFire; Tony in Hawaii
Hey, BTTT Great FReep & report! Making a difference and having fun too! (We're all looking forward to seeing RonDog's cute legs in the pictures :)
BTW WA Puget Sound Chapter is having a double FReep tomorrow, Sunday. At 1:00 we visit Bagdad Jim McDermitt at his Town Hall meeting to tell him what REAL AMericans think about his trip. (Something along the lines of DON'T COME BACK) Then at 3:00, we FReep the Anti-American whiners who are marching through Seattle. I will ping you to our after report! Cheers!
To: AnnaZ
Are you looking forward to seeing me portray Hooker Davis in Sac-a-tomatoes? ACK!
To: Auntie Mame
Thanks! :)
