Fellow Swamp Stomper Blue Crab Boulevard: [1]
The 2008 Tournament of Roses parade was, yet again, a huge success. Cindy Sheehan’s “Absolute Moral Authority”, not so much. [2]
Those who spent New Year’s Eve camped curbside were joined at dawn by giddy visitors arriving by car, bus and train. The city estimates more than a million people visit Pasadena during the parade and Rose Bowl game festivities. Gail Paulson was drawn to the parade route although she is blind. “There’s a lot a blind person can appreciate at this parade. There’s electricity in the air, the smell of the flowers, the clomping of the horses,” Paulson, 64, of Oxnard, said as her guide dog Elton led her to a seat…… …..Two groups were protesting at the parade. Dozens of anti-war protesters led by “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan staked out spots across from television cameras, hoisting signs reading “Impeachment is Patriotic.” The protesters were booed by parade watchers sitting in the grandstand. “This is not the occasion for this,” said Mary Feichtel, 63, of Florida.
Keep in mind, folks… this is SouCal. Even the liberals down there are at the end of their leash with this stuff. I wonder if we can take this as an indication of the outcome of the forthcoming elections, after we’ve watched the Democrats kissing the backsides of anti-war types like Cindy Sheehan?
