"Because Virginia Needs Gossip!"
Thursday, March 30, 2006
I just returned from Not Larry Sabato's Campaign Kickoff and have to admit it was one of the most exciting events I've been to in a long time.
The big announcement of the evening was that Waldo has tasked J.C. Wilmore to manage the campaign. The announcement brought a great cheer from those in attendance.
There was a call for volunteers and Lowell Feld was first to raise his hand. Lowell said, "I first thought of asking Not Larry to run six years ago when I drove by his high school. I started the Draft Not Larry movement and hope that this campaign will stay focused on me and where I stand on the issues." Josh Chernila nodded in agreement.
A lowpoint of the evening was when Alice Marshall openly attacked Not Larry, questioning his credentials as Democrat and calling Wilmore a Richmond carpetbagger. Wilmore responded by calling her a "Philistine," adding "You'll never be a bon vivant!" There was a sudden gasp of disappointment that Wilmore could not muster any better of a comeback.
Honestly, if Pixie Bell hadn't been there to hold her back I am uncertain how far Alice would have carried this.
The final fireworks of the evening occurred when Republitarian's wife was passing around cookies on a tray and tripped on her burkha.
All in all it was good evening.

If you spend ANY time at all amongst the Democratic Blogosphere, and if you have a sense of humor, this should cause you to laugh your balls off.

That's just like Alice too.
My people actually waved to the English from shore when they showed up off of what would become Jamestown in 1607 . . .
Which reminds me: I have to send out invitations for the quadracentennial. -

While it may have appeared that I tripped on the hem of my burka in reality Shaun Kenney tripped me.
