Monday with the Clintons

Well, almost...

Yesterday I was at the Tillamook Cheese Factory less than an hour before President Clinton was to arrive to give a campaign speech in the parking lot, with the aroma of cows (money!) in the humid air. I kind of thought that was cool until...

The same afternoon at the Portland airport, the flow of traffic getting into the terminal all of the sudden came to a complete stop for more than five minutes for no apparent reason. Then came the dignitary entourage! Motorcyle cops sped ahead followed by a really special looking tinted windows (assuming bullet proof - but then again I've probably watched too many movies!) car with none other than Senator Hillary Clinton herself!

That reminds me of a funny story I heard about a year ago on the radio from a good friend of the Clinton's, Rush Limbaugh. For the transcript of the story, see this article: http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Bill_Clinton_tells_Rush_Limbaugh_Youre_0517.html

Monday with the Clinton's was interesting. But not quite as outstanding as the encounter Rush had. Maybe next time...
