"So I went to the John Kerry town hall forum this morning trying to get students registered to vote. I run a student government organization called Chomp the Vote. Anyway I went inside to watch the event. Senator Kerry took the podium and began delivering a speech about the Middle East, Iraq, dimplomacy, etc. Anyway, after he was done, a university ambassador asked Kerry a few premade questions. Once that was over, Senator Kerry announced he would take questions from the students. There were two

microphones placed on each side of the aisle. One on my side and the other on Andrew Meyer’s side. Senator Kerry began answering the student’s questions from each aisle. Eventually it was announced that there would only be a few more questions answered. Since Meyer and I were both in the back of each line, it did not seem likely that our questions would be answered.

However, while Senator Kerry was responding to a student’s question, all of a sudden Meyer rushed to the microphone with cops in pursuit. At that point no one knew what was going on. Could he have a gun, a bomb? Immediately, Meyer began yelling into the microphone that he had been waiting in line forever and that Senator Kerry should “spend time to answer everyone’s questions!” Senator Kerry tried to calm the student down by telling him that he would “stay here as long as it takes to get the questions answered.” The police approached Meyer who began taunting them by saying “what! are you going to taser me? are you going to arrest me?!” The police grabbed Meyer, but Senator Kerry asked the

police to let him go and that he would answer his question. Senator Kerry finished answering the other student’s question and then proceeded with Meyer. (*This entire scene is not in any video I can find so far. This is why 2 cops are seen right behind Meyer at the start of some videos*).

Meyer approached the microphone and began to talk about a book he had which stated that Kerry won the 2004 election because of disenfranchisement of black voters and faulty voter machines that produced “Bush” as the winner. He then posed another question about why President Bush had not been impeached. “President Clinton was impeached because of a blowjob, why not Bush?”. The third and strangest question he posed to Senator Kerry was asking him if he was part of the skull and bones society with Bush at

Yale. Meyer’s mic cut off after that, probably because he had mentioned the word “blowjob”. The cops grabbed him, but Meyer was able to get away several times. Eventually more cops were brought in to help subdue Meyer. Meyer continued to resist arrest, scream, curse; however he was enventually subdued by about six cops up around the entrance. As he is on the ground, he is told several times to put his hands around his back. He is also warned that he will be tasered if he does not comply. Eventually he is tasered twice. The video does not show whether he complied or not.

Senator Kerry was trying to answer his question to the audience, mostly the one about faulty voter machines. I am a die hard conservative Republican but I do respect Senator Kerry for trying to soothe the situation as best he could and trying not to escalate the situation. He DID intervene by letting the student at least present his question. I never received an opportunity to ask my question, but when Senator Kerry ended the show after the Meyer incident, he did come off stage to shake hands and give autographs. At that point, I was able to ask him my question, shake his hand, and get a autograph at the same time. Now why couldn’t Andrew Meyer do that?

I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but Andrew Meyer is a former sports writer for the school newspaper The Alligator. In his columns, he has been known to make ridiculous statements in order to gain attention for himself. Was today a publicity stunt?"

Probably to make sure he was communicating with the colonel and not responding to some spoofer.

>>>Okay, if you want something horribly serious about why G. Bush made the list:

His daughter died.

No funeral.

They didn't fly the body back to Texas.<<<

They had a small family gathering. The child's body was donated for scientific research. She is now buried at the GHWB Library in Texas.

You could look that up.

>>George and Babs went golfing the next day.<<<

Urban myth.

BTW, they were back in Texas with their other children two days after their daughter's death.

You could look that up too.

>>>W didn't even know that his sister had been sick.<<<

Yes he did. He didn't know she was dying. He was seven years old. His parents were afraid he might let on to his sister...but they still second-guess their choice.

Need I say you could look that up?

One could only hope you're never faced with such a decision.

But it doesn't stop you from repeating made-up crap about someone's personal tragedy.

And I am not a fan of ANY of the Bushes, by the way.

Sorry I was so harsh. I guess I just hate to see a private tragedy misinterpreted...even though it's out there on the intertubes.

...that version of the story is out there.

Evidently it came from a book written by someone who didn't do much in the way of background research.

I doubt McCain has an introspective bone in his body. Asked for personal insights, he launches into his pre-mixed, pre-approved stump speech.

He only considers the question long enough to catch the buzzword that will allow him to kickstart a stump speech talking point, no matter how unrelated to the question asked. And turning to the audience with that dated, insincere "my friends ..." makes him look even more like the tired old used car salesman he is at heart.

Of course the OC crowd just ate. it. up.
