Not The P.D.’s Best Day In Denver


First, read the previous post.

I stand by what I said.  But this
is Denver. The air is thin and taxes
the brain.  And the circus called a
national party convention is in town,
and the protesters, and some big
money folks who would rather you
not know their name.

But it was not a good day to stand on a
public sidewalk in Denver.  At least not
for an ABC guy. 

It was also not a good day for the
police sergeant who didn’t want
to put his wet, or hot cigar in
his pocket for a couple of
minutes.

It was also not a good day for the
officer who grabbed the ABC guy
with his hands on his throat.

It was a good day for big money
Democratic Party members who
didn’t want their picture taken
while being a bit too exclusive
for the party of the “common man”.

And even though he was arrested,
it was a good day for the producer
who proved his mettle by “taking
one for the team”.  He will learn
that doing so for a news organization
like ABC means you are their top
guy. …

For about an hour.

Look out Denver…the right legs of
ten thousand lawyers just started jiggling
up and down.  And ABC’s version
of Jimmy Olsen  just picked up some
Mercedes Benz  brochures.
