I hate grasping at straws

but sometimes, straws is all ya got to grab on to...

josh at Talking Points Memo dug this up in the aftermath of the incident in denver where, without any provocation, three people were ejected from dubya's social security road show... rep. bob beauprez (r), the congressman who represents a large portion of the most affluent area in colorado, jefferson county, and the sponsor of the event, may have gotten a wake-up call...

Here's part of what the congressman said on Peter Boyle’s morning show on KHOW-AM in Denver ...

"It’s unfortunate. This kind of stuff should never really happen. At least as I understand it, these folks showed up – they’ve got every right to be there. There was a pro-Bush leaning crowd but by no means at all, my understanding, a 100% pro-Bush crowd. And unless they did something wrong there’s no reason why they should be yanked out of there and escorted through the door."

josh adds this commentary...

"But I have to imagine that Beauprez's statement will raise the pressure to find out just who these people were who tossed the non-Bush-True attendees out. After all, it was an event in his district, thrown for him. We know similar incidents have occurred at Bamboozlepalooza events across the country, so there's really no serious question that this is White House policy. So let's get to the bottom of it."

let's hope he's heard the alarm going off and doesn't end up wearing the metaphorical rove "concrete overshoes..."
