D.C. Chapter's 'Halloween' FReep at Madame Hillary's Carl McCall Fundraiser 10/30/02
Wednesday, October 30, 2002 | Kristinn

Cold. Heavy mist. Funereal.

Members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic gathered tonight to pay our (dis)respects to the demise of the the political fortunes of the friends of Bill and Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser hosted by Senator Clinton for the doomed Democratic candidate for governor of New York, Carl McCall.

Fighting our way through rush hour traffic, tgslTakoma, daughter of tgsl and I arrived on site a few minutes before 6 p.m. Driving up Whitehaven Street (the scene of the crime) we saw lots of open parking spaces. We could see Madame Hillary's was open for business, but, as usual the customers were to be received in the rear of the establishment.

In keeping with the season, two pumpkins adorned the entrance. They must have just been put out that evening because neither one had been kicked in yet by the Clintons' backyard neighbors the Cheneys.

Six Metropolitan Police department cruisers and a squad of motorcycle officers parked at the Massachusetts Avenue end of the street stood ready to greet us as we parked and got our protest signs out. We told the officers that we were there to protest Senator Clinton's fundraiser for Carl McCall and they informed us that's why they were here too and chastised us for being late (our permit application stated we would start at 5:30 p.m.)

I looked around at all the officers and told them that because of the lousy weather there were more of them than there would be of us. One of them asked if we planned on getting arrested. As soon as I mentioned we were from the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic he said we were alright.

We were soon joined by Jimmy Valentine's brother and SpacemanSpiff, both in costume--JVb as Hillary's queen-maker, Olde Scratch and Spaceman Spiff as, well, Spaceman Spiff!

Daughter of tgsl started out wearing a witch costume and then, before you could say Cher Sarkesian Bono Allman, she changed into a faceless demon outfit to match her mother's costume.

tgslTakoma has embarked on a new career: tombstone carver. Her handiwork was put on display tonight as she set up headstones for the Clintons' Political Graveyard.

Memorialized were the political careers of former Clinton acolytes Al Gore, Janet Reno, Robert Reich, and Carl McCall, along with a reserved space for the presidential ambitions of Ms. Hillary, herself.

Traffic turning onto Whitehaven Street was lighter than normal for a Hillary! soiree. No catering trucks were seen. Perhaps a witch's brew, instead of the usual Ritz Crackers and Cheez Whiz, was being served by the reincarnation of Pamela Harriman tonight.

Following on the heels of the Paul Wellstone Plane Crash Jamboree in Minnesota last night, it's understandable that the 'Rats were partied-out.

We wrapped it up around 7:30, just as Cardinal4 arrived. We retired to tgslTakoma's vehicle and talked for awhile as the few customers of Madame Hillary's drove past us as they left the wake for Carl McCall's gubernatorial bid.

I kept it to myself, but as we saw Terry McAuliffe leave in his gas-guzzling DNC Cadillac Escalade, I saw a headless horseman in hot pursuit.

BOO!

This is as good as it gets!

Cecil B. deMille didn't do any better or as spell binding a job when he produced "The Ten Commandments"!

Thanks from the hinterland of Conservatism!

Not only are you real Americans but you have a knack of pushing the right buttons that releases a very warm feeling of satisfaction that we are being heard in the dark recesses of unGodly Liberalism throughout this great land!

Our Father thank you that we are accepted in the Beloved and that in the End, We Win!!

May God continue to bless America!

So wish I could have been part of "The Haunting at Hill House"!! (busy with the Forrester campaign) JVB makes quite a fine, distinguished Count Dracula, but would he really want to sip on Hill? (spitooey!)

Wonder what it would be like for trick 'n treaters at Hill House tonight? I bet neighborhood kids avoid her house.

Save me a space on Witchhaven, next time.

"Madam Hillary's House of Ill-Repute"

BWAHAHAHA ... except the prostitution in this case is political in nature.

kristinn, my friend,

It can seldom be said of men as young as you, whippersnapper that thou art, but this is true of you. You have already more than justified the time and space the Good Lord has given you on this Earth by your energy, intelligence and courage dedicated to your fellows. I know there's much more to come.

But I want to thank you -- and all the other D.C. Chapter stalwarts -- for your efforts, both on this rainy night, and all the other days and nights before now, and yet to come.

Her mother drags her to all these events yet she earns no school credits in "Civics" for execising 2nd Ammendment rights. In Maryland students are required to perform "voluntary" community service in order to earn a high school diploma.

If she were homeschooled, she could fashion her own 'Civics' course and include this time in the coursework!!

EXCELLENT FREEP! I spent Halloween with The Liberty Belles...we were taping a tv appearance on "Should I Be Packing Heat?" for The Rob Nelson Show. It was surprisingly fair & balanced and the audience was full of young people who were pro gun. The show should air in 2 or 3 weeks. We will post a Heads Up thread closer to the air date.
