Election-Day Souvenirs

Tell that to any sports writers you know, and they’ll be both horrified and jealous.
Any holder of a press pass who asks for autographs gets kicked out and their credentials revoked – warning says so right on the back of the pass.

The voters are totally in the tank for Obama. Awesome. Have fun!

KT,

Will they be available on ebay? Good on you and thank you for everything you’ve done. Your reportage has allowed us all to be vicarious participants in history.

OMG pourme – don’t start any rumors today!

I have tried repeatedly to get KT’s goat, and she simply will not bite. I, however, am not a quitter.

It seems like you really love your job. I’m glad we got to hear about this election from someone who has enjoyed it so much!

BBQ. I saw Ana last night in Prescott. She was going to go ride tire swing.

“I have tried repeatedly to get KT’s goat”
.
I have a couple of times. It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be.

Flounder, and Oh, what a ride it was!

I want a commemorative McCain tire swing. That would be cool to get. See the swing that made Sprinkles Sedoti swoon. That would be a keeper.

I would love to see the personal note he put on the FoxNews reporter’s creds.

“Thanks….For Nothing”
“All the worst, Obama 08″

Sarah Palin wont say if she voted for Sen Stevens or not

karen,
screw ‘em. you no doubt recognize how fortunate you are to have been in a position to have such a close-up view of history. i am so jealous …

KT: Didn’t that autograph cost $935.00?
.
On Steve Schmidt:
.
Remember what the farmer said when the j@ck@ss kicked him?

“You have to consider the source.”

After McCain has been pounding Obama for saying his faith in the american people was vindicated, Sarah Palin just said her faith in the American people was strenthened by the response of people at her rallys. I wonder if anybody will point out the final hypocrisy. Hint Hint
.
lol
.
Also she went rogue again and her press person kept trying to end the interview but she kept on answering questions

I’d ask around for preservation advice for the credential. Legacy for one of the kids.

Steve who?

Off to work the Kids Voting booth. Go O! Thanks for the insider view, KT.

question for those who watch cable. Have you noticed that foxnews advertises on CNN and MSNBC? I thought that kind of odd

sg:
.
Last night, they started airing Wright ads on msnbc.

To All:
.
I’ve VOTED!
.
It was better than seks!
.
I also have to complement our voting district. They were very polite, very helpful, and very professional! Karl Rove’s ghost does not walk here!

.
No, they started that on friday and they come on about ever 20-30 minutes on MSNBC. I think they over did it and people who might have other wise been influenced were instead annoyed. But hey they are going down swinging right?

Congrats 53_3
.
Nothing to do now except wait for the results. Thats if the networks arent bullied by Rick Davis into waiting until midnight to announce the results
.
Wright ad on again

Uh, 53_3, I don’t think I’d go that far. It did feel good though. Now you can get a free cup of coffee at Starbucks.

signing credentials like that reminds me of the story that Dick Armey has told about the difference between his dealing with the Clinton White House and the Bush White House — for me, this little anecdote has always summed up so much. The telling is a bit down page at http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200709/karl-rove/3 and goes (I fixed an naughty word)

“ick Armey, the House Republican majority leader when Bush took office (and no more a shrinking violet than DeLay), told me a story that captures the exquisite pettiness of most members of Congress and the arrogance that made Bush and Rove so inept at handling them. “For all the years he was president,” Armey told me, “Bill Clinton and I had a little thing we’d do where every time I went to the White House, I would take the little name tag they give you and pass it to the president, who, without saying a word, would sign and date it. Bill Clinton and I didn’t like each other. He said I was his least-favorite member of Congress. But he knew that when I left his office, the first schoolkid I came across would be given that card, and some kid who had come to Washington with his mama would go home with the president’s autograph. I think Clinton thought it was a nice thing to do for some kid, and he was happy to do it.” Armey said that when he went to his first meeting in the White House with President Bush, he explained the tradition with Clinton and asked the president if he would care to continue it. “Bush refused to sign the card. Rove, who was sitting across the table, said, ‘It would probably wind up on eBay,’” Armey continued. “Do I give a d**n? No. But can you imagine refusing a simple request like that with an insult? It’s stupid. From the point of view of your own self-interest, it’s stupid. I was from Texas, and I was the majority leader. If my expectations of civility and collegiality were disappointed, what do you think it was like for the rest of the congressmen they dealt with? The Bush White House was tone-deaf to the normal courtesies of the office.”

When I got MSNBC Fox advertised on that channel. I think the local cable company sells time; its not a national ad.

Update: Tequila – could he be any more perfect?

Some was just precious.
Like the one from the middle east – with KT totally pinning for a cold soda.
Like the one from 10 Downing Street, London – with the local reporters – the restless natives – standing at the scaffolding on the periphery being totally mad at KT and the privileged US reporters seated on the ground a few inches nearer “That one”.
[What do you know: Those imperial Brits also hate being the target of discrimination ..]

My brother in law noticed they started here late yesterday on MSNBC.
.
My wife just voted, too! I had to scout the scenery for her, then I came home and took the car with her wheelchair so she could vote.
.
That’s 5 for 5 in my immediate family. Debbie’s brother is going to vote at two (five there) and I must make a very important note.
.
I’ve been there twice this morning and I saw four youth voters in the 20 minutes total we were there!

Hades chimes, Batman! My wife agrees with me!

You only get to do it once every two years, after all…

* Like the blog from the middle east with KT totally preoccupied with pining away for a cold soda – and totally oblivious, apparently, to the grandeur of the Roman ruins in Amman, Jordan.

* Like the one from 10 Downing Street, London – with the local reporters – the restless natives – standing at the scaffolding totally hating the US reporters for the privilege of sitting on the ground a few inches nearer “That One”. Later, I saw a picture of the reporters and the scaffolding. I WAS amused. It made my day.
[Who would have thought that the imperial Brits hate being the target of discrimination ...]

Thanks KT – for taking us along.

Sorry 53 – about the double.

no prob cfukara!
.
BTW, neither of us smoke! But. But!
.
Not all Starbucks have gone out of business here, so yes, indeed, we are tipping our favorites as I write…

Tequilla…..interesting.
.
Tequilla was the song in “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” that he danced to.
.
Paul Rubens played Pee Wee Herman.
.
Paul Rubens was arrested for indecent exposure.
.
Therefore, applying Fox Fair and Balanced logic Obama is a sex freak.

Even Schmidt knows that any reporter who doesn’t recognize the magnitude of today’s history is in the wrong business.

KT here–

Cfukara: Please don’t forget when all of our Swampland commenters joined me (virtually, at least) in the men’s room while I was covering Hillary Clinton.

It has been fun.

Obama did sign
Karen’s credentials for TIME
Smiles for tequila!
