OMG! I got invited to have lunch with shrubby
Got a call from a Congressman Reynolds today. He invited me to the Annual Business Leader Convention on June 14th in Washington with shrubby,lol.
My partners think it is an insurgent roundup,lol.
Too funny.
Should I go?:think:

3. Your decision. If it were me, I'd refuse.
I don't like things that make me sick, and I can't think of a worse situation.

5. Eat lots of beans for breakfast.
When you file past to shake Chimpy's hand, you get to control the atmosphere of your meeting with him.

24. The trick...
is not so much to generate at will, as much as it is to release at will.

If it's there, you can time its exit.
If it's not there, you have no ammo.

7. Sounds like a fundraiser
Do you really want to pay to have lunch with shrubby? I think he should pay to have lunch with a fine upstanding person, like yourself.

8. I got that call last month, too.
It was actually an invitation for my boss, who wasn't around at the time.

I laughed at the caller and made a rather unkind remark.

When my boss returned, I told him about the call. He said, "Did you tell him to go fuck himself?"

"Yes."

"Good. That fucker."

25. Stand up during the dinner and announce to the world that you
Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 05:51 PM by applegrove
and your partner are going to Canada to get married.

Then ask Bush if he doesn't think the issue is really not just a made up one. I mean the fact that you get married does not affect Bush's marriage to Laura one bit.

Tell him that 40 years ago people used to go to Canada to avoid the draft. That those were tough times. And now Bush makes a mockery of the law by letting his people use the gay issue to win every election. And good, decent, hard working Americans are escaping to Canada to get married - for the sole purpose so that he and the elites he represents but does not want to talk about.. so that they can have power.

Ask him if there are not more important things to be doing. Like making sure the ports are safe.

is it one of those events where they expect you to pay $1000 for a hotdog?
Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 05:53 PM by Lisa
Or, "Have a Wiener with the Wiener"?

I did hear that at one of *'s lunchtime appearances, most of the food was wasted because * insisted that they take the cutlery away from the audience (claiming that the noise of knives and forks would distract him from his speech). Most of the audience, too proud to be seen eating with their hands, simply left their food.

p.s. I've been trying to find the link to that earlier story (it was posted here at DU last year, I think, and generated a lot of comment -- for sure I couldn't make up the part about the expensive meal being just a sandwich(!)).

10. is he speaking there?
Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 05:03 PM by ucmike
if so, i'd go even though i hate him. not everyday you get to see a president speak, even if its the worst president ever.

some day you can say "i saw that asshole muddle through an awful speech once."

i wouldn't go if he's just going to be there.

added: and i wouldn't pay for it.

11. I got one of those too
Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 05:03 PM by shadowknows69
mentioned to them I was a registered democrat for years but they still were willing to accept my donation.

edit-actually I've had a couple of these calls. One in particular was about 5 months before the presidential election inviting me to see President Bush speak this year. Think they knew something about the outcome ahead of time perchance?

14. If you don't have to

I could not do it.

17. That's a tough one.
IF I didn't have to pay (which is unlikely) I'd go, and IF they had people line up to shake his hand, I'd line up, then refuse to shake his hand or even look at him.

22. $5 says they find out about you and you get "uninvited"
If you do go, I suggest anti-nausea medication beforehand. ;)

Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 06:29 PM by CC
or better yet on their dime or a major contributors dime I would go. Spend their money. You end up talking to others and you can also try to persuade them gently that blivet* policy is hurting this country. I have gotten pretty good at talking issues to a point repukes are agreeing with me...and as I am leaning telling them I am a flaming liberal, hate blivet* and that it was the repukes I was talking about that are ruining the country with all the stuff they agreed with me on. It is so much fun to watch their face go from confusion to anger. (BTW flaming liberal has been what we in a small group here call ourselves after being called that by an angry repuke.) Should you get the chance to speak to the blivet* I would ask him when does he plan on actually working for our country instead of against it.

on edit Could send you my "Lobotomies for republicans, Its the Law." button to wear.
