LOW-DOWN KERRY/EDWARDS EVENT, IN LAZY, RAMBLING FREE-STYLE:
- from PREVENT TRUTH DECAY

This is a quick recap of the night spent rubbing shoulders with the Democratic faithful - attending the Kerry/Edwards event in Orlando, Florida last night. For all of those who couldn't make it, or couldn't trust themselves to... well, not get thrown in jail, as one of our contributors feared... here's what you missed:

...AND IT WENT A LITTLE SOMETHIN' LIKE THIS:
They hate Bush
Lots and lots of Haliburton
Ubiquitous Bush Lies/Kills/Profiteers T-Shirts
Hippy hard-selling voter registration spent
Man complaining in line that he likes Kerry because "Bush doesn't have a clear message"
I thought to myself... true... Kerry has a lot of clear messages on any given issue.
Non-stop "Bush's daddy" references
Corrine Brown can yell ... a lot.
Corrine Brown said Kerry is going to "take off the gloves" - and then she whipped out a pair of gloves (ostensibly to drive her point home).
They were WORK gloves.
Edwards opened for Kerry as the Beatles would have opened for the Backstreet Boys (when they were still a garage band)
Kerry served in Vietnam
Kerry, apparently, served in the Senate as well
Kerry's speech was delivered in a lazy, rambling free-style fashion (not in fashion of Genghis Khan... he was a much more exciting speaker)
The Democrats "WELCOMED" Republicans to the event, insisting their minds would be changed
The UCF Republican Club came, and were shouted down, booed at, and shooed away. Welcome.
A scary paper mache Bush mask (I debated Kerry's viability as my candidate of choice based on the presence of the mask - it's a convincing argument)
Kerry served in Vietnam
Our Mayor (Buddy Dyer) said it's a first - the 2 senators are ON TIME
While we were waiting for them, an hour after their scheduled arrival time, I told a buddy nearby: "See... typical Democrats: they're late, unreliable, and you can't trust them"
Spectators nearby weren't amused with my synopsis on the late arrival.
Theorizing out loud that Kerry was "in a room trying to figure out which position he'd take on Iraq tonight" didn't help much either
It's very metrosexual to be "fashionably late" you know...
Kerry served in Vietnam
The "No More Bush" scream that interrupted the silence before the national anthem was a nice touch.
A woman in line from the union "SEIU", wearing a t-shirt "SEIU FOR KERRY/EDWARDS" - didn't know what SEIU stood for
Guys near me decided it must have something to do with "Sex Education... something or other"
Girls on the other side of me wondered as well what SEIU stood for... "C-E-I-U.... wonder what that stands for" one asked the other.
Kerry served in Vietnam
Lots of tattoos, piercings, and those square-rimmed glasses that make you smart.
No attractive women.
Welcome to the Democratic Party.
