Texas Democratic Clusterfuck 2008

Posted by Realist on June 6, 2008 – 3:05 pm

Well, I finally made it to the Texas Democratic Convention. I somehow managed to get a press pass this year, so now I’m acting like I’m legitimate media.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a convention if I didn’t run into some kind of drama. You’ll notice that there aren’t any pictures yet. Yeah, that would be because my dumb drunk self dropped my camera last night and now I can’t get any computer to recognize the it when I plug it in. Luckily, all of my pics are on a memory card, so as soon as I find someone nice enough to let me use their camera, I should be able to post them.

Speaking of being drunk last night, I threatened to dry-hump a state representative. Nothing like starting a state convention on a note like that!

Off to a few caucuses now. I’ll be back with pics asap, and maybe even some good convention gossip.

UPDATE (12:17 pm): I met a pro-lifer. Fun.

UPDATE 2 (4:14 pm): Pic of Rick Noriega during the press conference here.

UPDATE 3 (5:00 pm): I got stuck in a crowd of chanters. Not cool.

    Jeebush H. Chee-rist.

    Hate to say it, but the looney-toons over there are making OUR looney-toons look almost SANE.

    Almost.

    Fucking “pro-lifers” — why don’t they make stickers, t-shirts & badges that say who they REALLY are: WOMAN-HATERS.

    Oh, they’re allllll about saving the little unformed blobs of protoplasm, but once they come outta the chute, FUCK ‘EM! And ESPECIALLY the chute-bearers, right.

    I never denied that we have our share of looney-toons, but I had hoped that I’d get a brief break from ‘em this weekend. Obviously those hopes were too high.

    But you gotta go re-sign that press pass — how else to get snaps of the horrified faces of the batshit-crazy woman-hating “pro-lifers”?!?!?!

    “MARK. OF. THE. BEAST.”

    1 bottle of liquid paper: $2.00
    1 black sharpie: $1.00
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Horrified faces of hissing, shrieking bibul-bangers as they slowly mouthe the letters, one by one, until the whole words come together in their dented little EraserHead brains: PRICELESS.

    I can just hear them now, backing away, hissing and snarling, pointing and grimacing, “NOT. ONE. OF. US. **NOT** ONE OF US!!!!!!

    Ya gotta do it.

    And of COURSE you had hoped for far too much. You keep forgetting that outside of Austin and you & Jobsanger & Faithful Bro, THE REST OF TEXAS IS FUCKING SKEERY!!!!!!

    As far as the alternate seating goes, I found out later that that wasn’t supposed to happen. Sevret voting is against the rules. More on that tomorrow.
