Our Inaugural Experience ...
Before we start bashing the Moonbats, a few pics from the Free Republic Inaugural Ball ...
The Marine and the Metal Head
Our girlfriends met and started yacking, so we did what off duty Marines and Metallions do best: Knock back a few adult beverages.
In between, we had a pretty good conversation and he reaffirmed our belief that our fighting men are not only among the bravest of Americans, but among the best as well, owing to both the power of their bodies and the strength of their characters. We were called "Sir" more times in two days than in a whole year of buying beer from cute teenage cashiers at Wegman's.
Mr. Buzzcut Meets the Iraqis
The guys who aren't Mr. Buzzcut are (obviously) the Iraqis ...
Hamid, the dude on the left is a candidate in the elections on the 30th. Extremely brave guy who Kerry would undoubtedly calumny as a puppet of the Bush Administration ...
It was one of the greatest moments of my political life when he told me, and I paraphrase: "Most Iraqis want this (democracy) and know that we could not do it without America and we thank you and will not forget." I don't tear up a lot -- especially when buzzed (unless I'm watching a Flyers choke), but ... Nice to know most Iraqis understand what's at stake better than the majority of the domestic "loyal" opposition.
He's gotta be thinking: "Is this what freedom creates? Hmmmm ...... bring this man a burqa!"
This dude's name is Nofel ... he is thanking American parents for sending their sons and daughters to help the sons and daughters of Iraqis to be free. Another "choke up" moment.
This cat wailed on the keys with the jazz group that jammed in the hotel lounge Wednesday night ... He was impressed that I could hold a shot, a beer and a cigar in one hand!
