I had a great moment with Pat Schroeder in 1992 ie: I'm connected and you aren't

Look at me and how important I am. I know big people and you don't.
Odds that this went beyond a handshake and eye-roll from politician?  Near zero.

I had a great moment with Pat Schroeder in 1992...
Here in Philly, there was a fundraiser at a restaurant, called Jack’s Firehouse, and the guest speaker was none other than Pat Schroeder. It was a big crowd, we were waiting for her, and I was standing at the top of the steps, and finally she arrived and said hello to everybody with that nice smile that she had shaking hands and when she got up to the top of the steps, she said hello to me and I congratulated her on doing so well against Robert Novak the night before on CNN’s Crossfire.

She clasped my hand and started talking to me about the show, and the particulars of what had been discussed, and the state representative, who was escorting her, said “representative, we need to go in the back”. I presume that she meant that she was going to have to meet with the big money donors .

Well, the representative turned her, and in an extremely harsh voice, said “when I’m finished speaking with this gentleman, then I will accompany you, and you’re just going to have to wait.“ Then she turned back to me, put the smile back on her face, and said, “now where were we?… Oh, yes… “ And we finished the conversation.

That state representative, whom I knew from various political get togethers, never spoke to me again, - she would walk right past me without saying hello, because she thought that I had dissed her, which, of course I had not. She kind of disappeared from the scene , having married a rich doctor, and not having to worry about much I suppose.

uh huh...  cool story

You were (and are) just as important to her as the BigWig Money Types.

So far, PCIngrate's imaginary flex seemed to have fallen flat.
Are the DUmmies tiring of his skit?

put the smile back on her face, and said, “now where were we?… Oh, yes… “

    What a stupid f'ing story.  That never happened.  He made it up like he's been watching too many Rom-Com movies.  Only two replies, none of the DUmmies care.

I'm starting to wonder if PC Janitor is just echoing all these crazy tales that Pedo Joe keeps making up. Apparently last night on "The Daily Show", Sharter Joe said he began to accept gays back when he saw two guys kissing 60+ years ago when he was in high school. However, as recently as 2006, Creepy Joe emphatically stated that a marriage was between a man and a woman.

A proverbial liar and fabricator to tell tall tales when the situation allows him to make dramatic license.

Im thinking PC Idiot is getting high off his own nitrous.

Pat Schroeder... wasn't he that piano player in the Peanuts comics that Lucy had the hots for?

I never heard of her 

Walter Mondull's second fiddle. Kinda like the role Joe Biden filled for Reggie Love's Li'l Bitch, except she never had the keys to the Treasury and a personal money laundering gig like Ukraine.
