A great gnashing of liberal teeth has accompanied news reports claiming that a mysterious Republican staffer in a faux Secret Service get-up (complete with the cool earpiece) forcibly tossed three people from one of President Bush's "town meetings" on social security. With all sides agreeing that the three people did nothing disruptive at the meeting, which was held in Denver, the supposed reason for booting them seems to be that a member of the Bush posse spotted an anti-Dubya bumper sticker on the trio's car.
What's the big deal, we here at TKID's Blog ask? Republican operatives are totally within their rights to pose as secret service agents while tossing a few treehuggers out of a taxpayer-funded Bush lovefest. After all, a voter mandate put us conservatives in power – we run the show now. That's right; the whole enchilada, biatch.
Additionally, I looked up the definition of "town meeting." Webster's says the term refers to "a meeting of the qualified voters of a town." So who better to decide who constitutes "qualified voters" than Rove's shock troops? Besides, George W. Bush is renowned for his skills as a cheerleader, garnered during his wonder years at Andover and Yale. That guy knows who to stir up a crowd with a megaphone like nobody's business. But, as any good cheerleader knows, only a few fans from the an opposing prep school can ruin a rousing chant of "Ra Ra Ra, Sis Boom Bah!"
