Coral Gables is giving me a headache.
The Service just vetted the debate attendees. Thought that was put to bed, but now Agent Deiter called to report a 'show of disrespect' protest planned for Thursday.
As a rule, we'll remove protestors who disrupt events where Kerry's speaking. We've done more of those in the last four years than we did in all my Clinton years. And I'm not talking about hurling produce at the inaugural motorcade, although we had a helluva laugh about that over our Sam Adams.
At times we'd have to removed persons who make a show of disrespect even when the behavior is not overtly disruptive. There was that time at the Ohio State University graduation, while I was still on the Bush detail, when we removed graduates who had organized to turn their backs on the W. We let local law enforcement do the arrests. We took the abuse for it, too, but we did our job.
Coral Gables will be harder because I rather like what these guys have planned. Think Dog Tag does as well. While Dog Tag did us no favors with that "May I also suggest that we need a taller horse?" crack this week during rehersals, fact is, having W supporters protest the Tall Guy remark by kneeling down is just too funny. As I see it, those 5 inches Dog Tag has on W is a metaphor the country can live with.
Meanwhile, Deiter, Jackson and I will be happy to escort the GOP munchkins off the premises. |

 If anyone ever asks me why I so quickly switched parties from POTUS detail to Kerry protection, I just tell them to watch "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart". Jon sums it up better than any pundit or talking head.
After four years of being in charge of the House, the Congress, Supreme Court and the Executive Office, the Republicans are angry and they're not going to take it anymore. Down with the people who are already down!
What?
Then if anyone who knows I'm a Democrat asks me about Zell Miller, I shake my head in bewilderment. Case in point:
The Daily Show's "Zell on Earth" (6:37)
Hang in there until the 5 min. mark to see Chris Matthews finally playing Hardball with Zell. "I think we oughta cancel this interview. Get outta my face."
This guy's a Democrat?! I'll be placing a call to my secret service colleagues in Georgia. |
