Sen. Parker Griffith Fundraiser FloP & Flounder

With a crowd of about 400 sign-waving, chanting protesters outside the Huntsville Marriott this evening, temporary Congressman Parker Griffith (R-Liar) and his new best friend, Congressman John Boehner, decided that discretion was required.

They pulled in quietly, snuggled together in the back of an SUV (they left the same way: incognito) and were whisked into a no-press-allowed "fundraiser" that can't have raised many funds.  It was held in a room not much larger than my living room/kitchen.  Let's just say that AL-05 citizens weren't exactly beating down the doors to get in...

A source on the inside says that our turncoat Congressman and Alabama's most famous political adulterer called the demonstration outside an "embarrassment."  Once again, we see Parker twisting language - or perhaps being so damn stupid he just can't get it right. 

An embarrassment?  Not for the bi-partisan group of folks that I would never have believed could have even  amicably stood on a street corner waiting for a traffic light to change - much less spent an entertaining hour or so snapping photos of each other, exchanging email addresses, and reminding each other that we're all best friends.  At least until June 1st!
