My customer told Laura Bush she can't shop at her store

[redwitch]

A customer of mine from DC has a very cool gallery/store in Wash., DC. Last year about 2 weeks before Christmas the secret service came to check the place out. The following week she gets a call asking if Laura and a friend can come shopping on Saturday ( the Saturday before Christmas, biggest shopping day of the year, mind you). And is it ok if she brings the dog?(!) Customer said no (she would of course have had to close the shop to all her other customers). Duh. Besides, she confided in me, "I have a Howard Dean sign in my window and I'm giving my money to Kerry. Bush gets another four years, there won't be any stores left!" I thought this was a good story to share, hope you enjoyed. I just got back from a week in NYC which is where I heard the story. Ireally miss you guys when I go away. AND the hotel didn't get the Daily Show. Major withdrawal all the way around!

1. Tell her to look both ways before crossing the street.

Laura has a reputation, you know.

And her weapon of choice is the automobile.

9. LMBAO...yes...Laura Bush is an evil bitch!

2. No Daily show???? You should have gotten Tickets...

[redwitch]

4. Couldn't - had to work every day and had business dinners at night.

I would love to go to a taping though.

10. Ya, Its been one of my dreams.

Too bad about having to work, another one of my dreams, Not having too

18. Were you at the NY Gift Show? eom

[redwitch]

19. I was. And you?

How was the show for you and yours? My main 2 companies did OK- but foot traffic definitely down all over the country at shows everywhere.

[Jane Austin]

23. Nope. We're the buyers, not the vendors. :)

3. wheres your friends store in dc? ill have to check it out

[redwitch]

5. I just PM'd you with store name-don't want to get her in trouble

Is that total paranoia or what??? Oh, what the hell, for anyone else interested the store is Go Mama Go. Sorry I don't have the address, it went to my vendor.

[faithnotgreed]

6. thanks. i should have asked you to pm the name.. sorry

one thing i thought of after reading your original post - if she said no to laura its possible your friend is on "the list"
so all the more i wanted to know where i could check out her store!

justkidding about the list part
thanks for letting me know

[mountainvue]

22. What a cool name.

Please thank your friend for sticking with her beliefs and not letting all that evil energy into her store.

7. Dear heavens

who would want to be connected to what the frump chooses to wear? Definately bad publicity should it ever get out.

If I were this woman, I would have said no also, even if I were a Republican. Laura chooses to wear a size eight that is too tight around the waist and that emphasizes her fat ass, when she is really a size 14 because she thinks it looks sexy or something-who knows why -- maybe she does not have a mirror-she has the fashion taste that reminds me of a woman's dress in Stalin's Russia--she should wear white anklet socks to make her outfits complete.

17. I don't know if the store sells clothes

I sell her cool cards.

20. Thank you!

Funniest post I've read all day, and it's true, it's true!

:toast:

8. you came to NYC and

didn't come to my show?

i'm crushed
devastated
flattened
ready for the spalding grey swim club

but, I hope you had a great time!

15. I had every intention of coming to see the review

Alas, it was not to be. I love NY but I mostly get to see the Javits Center when I'm there. I really need to take a pleasure trip to the city. Sorry I missed the review!

[lookingforanswers]

11. Even a newbie can see this story is bogus...

Duh. Besides, she confided in me, "I have a Howard Dean sign in my window and I'm giving my money to Kerry.

Are you saying in Dec. Deanies were already giving their money to Kerry???

[JudgeSmales]

13. I don't get it.

Your saying this story is false and this person is a lier?

I believed it. I don't know the person so I assumed it was true.

I hope you take the time to find out before you do the ole "Freeper Alert" routine. I have to wonder how many innocent people have been booted because of an overzealous investigator.

[lookingforanswers]

24. Like I said....

I don't buy this one.

Telling Laura Bush she can't disrupt your business...yes!

Having a Howard Dean sign in your window...yes!

Having a Dean sign and giving money to Kerry in Dec...NO!!

[Cheswick2.0]

25. Are you having a problem with past Present and future?

I had (past tense)a Howard Dean sign and I am (present tense)giving money to Kerry.

28. I didn't claim to have friend who posted a Dean sign and gave money to Ker

you did!

The initial post said Duh. Besides, she confided in me, "I have a Howard Dean sign in my window and I'm giving my money to Kerry....how was I to know that just because you set the story a few weeks before Christmas, I should see that you have now jumped forward??

Perhaps I am blind...but I don't think so. You sure won't win swing voters by lying to them.

[redwitch]

16. Duh. The sign remains in her window, Dean is no longer running

so she is sending her $ to Kerry. Jesus.

[Vickers]

21. You still see a lot of Dean avatars and sig photos around here

Gee, ya think they realize he ain't running for President?!?!?!?!?!

:eyes:

[prolesunited]

26. At this point, she certainly

has more credibility than you. Why would you come on a board and start calling longtime posters liars? Certainly no way to win friends and influence people.

14. cool story! and Daily Show was reruns, at least for part of the week

[kerry-is-my-prez]

29. She should have put 10 Kerry signs out & then called the media

to come view the scene.
