Damn...the drivers who bussed some of these fools in cleaned up today

Comforting to know that some of the lunatics we saw today had to pay extra to stay and make fools out of themselves!

The ballroom is far emptier than it was nine hours ago. The Rules committee is still meeting privately. Michigan is the sticking point, by all accounts.

A woman in an "Every Vote Counts" T-shirt, a Hillary supporter, comes over and asks if I'm blogging. She's ticked. The committee said they'd come back at 4:15. It's now 6.

"You should blog this," she says. "It's totally disrespectful to the people here, whether they're Obama or Hillary."

Her name is Alice Rickel. She's a lawyer from Cleveland. People came from all over the country to watch this meeting, she says. One group just left because they've got to pay $100 for each extra hour they keep the bus driver.

1. !

I thought this was paid for? Hehe...

2. We're talking HRC here...

When has she paid for anything....upfront, that is. The bus companies probably would not take her IOU's so her followers had to pay up.

7. They were volunteers for Clinton

everyone paid their own way, organized the trip themselves. Some drove their own cars. This was a true grassroots effort.

Apparently the Obama supporters were too busy playing hacky-sack or getting some sun at the beach.

8. Obama people were probably back in the upcoming primary election states going real grassroots

While the batshit crazy HRC'ers were in DC making video clips that now have them being the laughing stock of the 'Net...yessirry, them HRC'ers did their leader proud today. I'm sure HRC will be on all the morning talk shows thanking them personally for showing up. Maybe she can do a split screen appearance with Harriet!!

11. You know that's not true, right? nt

12. I know some of the women who attended

I was invited to attend, too, but couldn't. Those are the facts.

13. and Obama sent a 'stand down'

Sometimes I think you are one of Hillary's best and brightest. Sometimes I think you are one of Rush's agitators. If you love Hillary, I understand that today, given (almost) the best outcome she could have hoped for and. realizing that it wouldn't be enough. would be hard.

Tomorrow is a new day. I hope it is better for you.

I still love Hillary. I think she is a marvelous woman and nothing that she has achieved can be taken from her, certainly not by me. I understand why you are passionate for her. I "get" how hurtful it is to come so close and still not win is a bitter, bitter pill. What I don't understand is how it will be better if McCain takes the prize at the end of it all. I don't even know if that is your stance, but it seems to be the stance of many of those who truly love Hillary. Doesn't that work counter to everything that your candidate wants to achieve?

3. yeah, but it's going to take FOREVER to removethe stench of batshit from the busses... n/t

4. Why I don't volunteer more

no $. Well, also my health, but mostly no dough-ray-me. :rofl:

[ruby slippers]

5. bus drivers have to make a living, too......kinda like keeping our

troops in Iraq longer than normal. And, that costs a whole lot we don't want to pay, too, eh?

[rainbow4321]

6. Given what their cargo was today

They also deserved combat pay! Imagine driving 50+ of these freaks home after the meeting....and not just a short drive but for HOURS.

9. Rules are RULES.... even for Bus Drivers!
