Secret Service members, alarmed by the rash of audience members who reached for cellphones and digital cameras to photograph the First Gals, warned at intermission that they would confiscate anyone who tried to take anymore pictures. [More]So Her Royal Highness shows up in a public place and all of a sudden that's an imposition on everybody else. Does this mean if I were doing a sketch instead of taking a photograph, they could confiscate my pad and pencil?
I'm sure her SS detail can point to where they get the authority to do this...from here.
As far as I'm concerned, if she doesn't want to pay the price of fame, she can go back to being obscure.
Yeah, I like that solution.
"...warned at intermission that they would confiscate anyone who tried to take anymore pictures."
ReplyDeletewhat's wrong with this sentence?
I've come into contact with a few secret service agents when they're off duty. Nice guys, baseball apple pie kind of guys. Very Neoconservative, dumb as rocks when it comes to liberty and freedom, etc. All around government worshipers. Sean Hannity' ideal of a "great american."
ReplyDeleteOK, complete this sentence:
ReplyDeleteFirst word is "Sieg ..."
Second word?
Who are you to question your betters?
ReplyDeleteJust submit, comply, and shut the hell up!
Jeez...
Oh for the days of the falling-down-drunk Bush girls (OK, mostly Jenna), and the perpetual comatose deer-in-the-headlights look of Barbara Bush.
ReplyDeleteGood times.
The SS are nothing more than hired thugs who imitate the Praetorian Guard of the Roman Empire. They don't swear an oath to the Constitution as far as I know, but rather only to obey orders and do their duty etc. They will try to use the Nuremberg defense after the Revolution, and claim that they were just following orders and such, but that didn't work for the Nazis, and it won't work for them.
ReplyDeleteScott, do yourself a favor and put "vote freedom first president" into the site search bar before coming in here with assumptions. There has been no Bush apologia here.
ReplyDeleteAnon, see Constitution, Art. VI:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution...
