I shook hands with Rick Perry last night.
I recently learned that Rick Perry was going to be at a local restaurant (Tishes) last night, so I thought I'd go check it out.
There was a Perry protest by the driveway entrance to the place. I gave them a thumbs up, and ventured into the parking lot where I was directed where to park. You could see the secret service and security everywhere. The event was outside, but I went into the restraint to eat. And I wasn't too anxious to tell anyone there that I was a Liberal Democrat.
So I'm in the place eating my dinner, and Rick Perry arrives with Secret Service on his way to the crowd outside on the other end of the place. There were not many of us inside. He went to one table to visit, and on his way through he came to me to shake my hand and comment on my dinner. After I finished eating I went outside to listen to his speech. I remember that most of what he said, I thought to myself - that is not true.
Anyway, that was a first for me - attending a political event. (Besides the Iowa Caucus) It was interesting to see all the Secret Service around and experience the excitement in the air. It was chilly. There were a lot of farmers there, one I overheard declaring his support for rush, hannity, and beck. Yuk.
On my way out someone handed me a flyer, inviting me to an evening with Newt and Callista next Monday. To watch their film. I'll pass on that one. I'm afraid I'd vomit.
Tomorrow I'm going to a Steak Fry for Senator Harkin, another first for me. The keynote speaker is Paul Begala!! And Senator Bernie Sanders will make an appearance too. I can't wait!!!!
No cops or you telling someone off with your brilliant DUmmie mind? :bouncy:
Then nads shows up....

Missy is a very nasty woman. I doubt she's allowed in any restaurant.

That's mighty perceptive of the little hissy primitive.
Rick Perry doesn't have Secret Service protection.

The keynote speaker is Paul Begala!!
Two exclamation points seems to express a little more enthusiasm than Paul "the five head" Begala deserves.

H5 for pointing that out.

I did not shake hands with that man....Rick Perry.

He definitely wouldn't until he has the nomination. Nadin is correct about that.

He is a sitting governor, so Texas would be paying for his protection. What she most likely saw is Texas state police (or whoever protects him) in civilian clothes.

So what does the Dumpminkie want? a Cookie? I have met and shook hands with several famous people and I don't really make much of it unless it comes up in conversation or I'm asked about it.

I've shook hands with some famous people before. Got a pic with them and me and their siggy on stuff too. And you know what? That and some change will get you a cup of coffee at a restaurant.

I rarely mention having met Super Joe Charboneau, major league baseball's answer to DUmmy ThomWV. Joe could open a beer bottle with his eye socket (unconfirmed). He also once pulled his own abcessed tooth, and used a pair of pliers to straighten his own broken nose (confirmed).
He recently got into trouble for coldcocking a woman at a Cleveland bar, but not until after she had beaten him up so badly he had to be hospitalized.
I think that's a much bigger deal than shaking a governor's hand. At any given time, there are fifty governors, but there's only one Joe Charboneau.
