Checkin' in from the RNCC

At long last, we have a "Mark" sighting. Our intrepid NYC-living, Minnesota-born correspondent, from whom we last we heard was potentially being assailed by a bunch of self-aggrieved, middle-class white kids, has checked in with this report:


"Greetings from the RNC... although I am now safely back home after an unbelievably hectic week! The networking in St. Paul and Minneapolis surpassed my wildest expectations. In addition to meeting Bill O'Reilly (in a restaurant restroom, but hey a celebrity is a celebrity) and three US senators (at a panel discussion), I was able to secure tickets for the BIG event: delegate guest pass seats inside the Xcel Energy Center to witness Sarah's speech (as well as Rudy's, Romney's and Huckabees') first-hand! UNBELIEVABLE experience. The enthusiasm for Sarah almost brought tears to my eyes. It was so LOUD that my ears are still ringing 6 nights later, and my voice is still hoarse from yelling.

As Dean mentioned, it got a bit dicey on the shuttle bus back to downtown Minneapolis afterwards (I had to stowaway on a Kentuck delegation bus... long story), due to the dopey, unwashed "protesters" rampaging throughout downtown Minny that night. Our bus actually had to get a 10-motorcycle police escort back to the delegation's hotel! SCARY for a few minutes... but the police (in full riot gear) got things under control just before last call... hooray! I spent the last 2 hours of an incredible day toasting the GOP, as scummy socialists with no job (and apparently no soap) were being loaded into police vans.

My week at the RNC was incredible... and I come away, back to the friendly confines of my apartment in NYC, more enthusiastic and dedicated to the Republican cause than EVER. I am sure the GOP is thinking, as far as their convention in the Twin Cities is concerned, "Mission Accomplished!"



Nice work, Mark. Glad to hear you are safe in the NYC and didn't get any of that on ya.
