HIGHLIGHTS From my trip on the AIR AMERICA Cruise...Kool-Aid and Laffs galore! |
|
Most Memorable Moments:
* Talking with Paul Krugman and wondering if I was boring him until I realized he was sea-sick and about to hurl.
* Watching a group of AirA folks enjoy listening to themselves so much while telling the piano player he should be a liberal that they didn't hear him say "Actually, I'm more of a SADIST!"
* My 50 years old hubby and I feeling like the youngest people aboard and roaming the eerily vacant bowls of the disco at 10:30 pm.
* Laughing at said hubby's joke that 'this young people's contingent for Obama was really annoying.'
* Mark Green, station mgr, driving us Hillary people to stay in the bar after cranking up the Obama machine in the very 1st meeting. Thank you Mark! Whooo-HoooooooOOO!
* In the nick of time, realizing I was lucky, like a kid let out of school, because I got to CRUISE and have fun instead of paying thousands of dollars that I really didn't have anyway to sit in stupid seminars while the world floated by on rolling sunlit waves.
* Laughing my ass off after Mark Green asked the group in CIA fashion for the NAME of THE WOMAN who asked for a Hillary Supporters meeting, instead of just announcing the meeting like we asked (THE WOMAN being my husband, a man, myself and another couple from CA)
* My very same ass flying off the seat of a Zodiac as we were raced to catch up with an excursion because the hosts gave us the wrong time and all the AirA people missed the boat.
* Meeting Randi Rhodes who was gorgeous and told me I was gorgeous.
* Meeting Thom Hartman's wife Louise, who was so incredibly nice.
* Watching my hubby sing 'Werewolves of London' and hearing crickets when he got to the "little old lady got mutilated late last night' part (not an older couples crowd pleaser).
* Getting my picture with Paul Krugman before he left to get sick.
* Room Service.

2. Did you get to meet Rachel Maddow? |
|
She must have taken the red eye home because in addition to pissing off alot of DUers last night on Olberman she had major dark circles under eyes.

4. Yes, took hubby's pic with her...I just drank and smiled because they are all biased against Hillary |
|
she was very friendly though. She wore Van's and a crew neck shirt to formal night. Classic.

5. We ate dinner with Lionel! He was funny. We don't get him in LA and I didn't know who he was at 1st |
|
He didn't stay through dessert though....it was the last night and I think they were all getting tired.
