Will Pitt: His limo was pelted with fruit...

The Coward

Thursday 20 January 2005 @ 04:41

"It occurs to me that all this security, all these cops and soldiers and guns and fences, are not really to keep the terra'ists at bay, but to protect Bush from the citizens of his own country. His limo was pelted with fruit, and the Cheney limo got battered by snowballs. There were tens of thousands of people here to shout him down.

The battery on my machine is just about gone, so I am going to find someplace warm. It was a privilege to be here. Anyone despairing for their country can feel a sense of pride today. Whatever else happens from here on out, know that thousands of people of good conscience carried the flag today in fine style.

This is William Rivers Pitt, signing off from America's protest capitol."

Like a Newton, Mass. bumper sticker said:
"Jesus to Bush: Stop Using Me As a Reference!"

Thank you Will. I'm betting we won't have to wait til the F9/11 sequel to see footage of the exuberant signs of obvious affection and pride tossed at the b** limos by adoring citizens.

And I've decided that your military term blivet is the perfect descriptor for b**. (For anyone who like me hadn't been familiar with this useful word, Will helpfully provided its definition here:http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=blivet. Read it, it will make you feel better.)

:evilgrin:

Thanks.:)

Let's start a movement! This could catch on -- we both see how perfectly it describes the little...blivet.
:evilgrin:
Yes, I've decided. Later today when I have some time I'm going to start a "Let's officially call b**, "blivet**" and include Will's link to that wonderful, multifarious definition. It can be a DU tradition!
:toast:

Imagine how confused the freeps will be, a new word for them to look up.

Let's do it! It will make us all feel better, it's empowering, it's fun, and it's so very, very fitting.

If you agree, will you help me launch blivet**'s new name?

earlier today. All of the security is to keep the protestors, American citizens, away from the coronation.

Bush hates Americans - thus, he hates America!!!

Rock on.

King George's limo being pelted with fruit. :)

We need to make this public knowledge somehow. It's amazing how many people, myself included, who knew NOTHING about the first coronation protests and the egging of the First Fool's limo, until Farenheit 9-11.

someone nailed the limo with an egg. Priceless!

Let's hope they don't try to charge anyone with terra'ist attacks!

But this is a ray of sunshine.

I just think these ones were great.


Another genius

Fellow in a Bush cap just approached a protester and said,"Ay-rabs flied and lots died. Whadaya think of that?"

"I think it's bad grammar," I said.

He got mad. Big surprise.



A good moment

Thursday 20 January 2005 @ 02:43
I am sharing a bench with some protesters, one of whom has a sign reading 'Bush lied, thousands died.'. A couple of W folk walked by, and one angrily demanded what Bush lied about.

"Remember the 2003 state of the union speech?" I asked.

"What about it?" was the angry reply.

"Well, in that speech, Bush said there was 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX gas, 30,000 munitions to deliver the stuff, mobile biological weapons labs and uranium from Niger to make nuclear bombs. The White House still has a page on its website that claims this us still true, but last week they cancelled the WMD search without finding any of it. That was a pretty big lie."

The reply?

"That was the Democrats who lied about that!" before a dramatic storm-off.

These people are miracles of nature.

didn't get in the way of this Bushbot while he was running away from the truth.

I've never seen such a defensive bunch in my life. Even the most insignificant facts can set them off. When you met thme in person, it can be kind of scary.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your actions bring tears to my eyes and hope to my heart.

Peace and Victory sign held high to all that served the cause today! Thank you!!!!!!!! :)

"It was a privilege to be here. Anyone despairing for their country can feel a sense of pride today. Whatever else happens from here on out, know that thousands of people of good conscience carried the flag today in fine style.

This is William Rivers Pitt, signing off from America's protest capitol."

The above was my favorite part - and Will Pitt is probably the only person and DU place I'd have found it out (kinda).

I wish I coulda been there. My contract is almost up and I hope to get out more myself!

.

to know there were LOTS of folks representing the TRUTH today.

Thanks Will!!! And great BIG THANKS to ALL the protestors and activists for their appearance today. I'm proud to be knowing ya!

:toast: :hi: :toast:

Next gathering: March 19!!!!!

Cheney's limo. Ha! Good one!

Must be them special terra-ist snowballs :eyes:

Those limos are made with the same stuff they use in the humvees in Iraq. You know the ones the soldiers have to scrounge scrap metal to re-inforce to protect themselves.

out there in Washington D.C., today!!

Thanks to Will Pitt for reporting and thank you, Andromeda, for posting! :bounce:

of course, only old people like me know that as a term of support.
:)

I got the real news today, as it happened. Our man on the frontlines!

Does anyone know where there might be pictures of this pelting???

Thanks Will...

-P

Was * limo pelted with fruit for the same reason that Anita Bryant was hit with a fruit pie? Saying he's anti gay?
