Rochesterturning infiltrated Mrs. Bush’s rally for Tom Reynolds and Randy Kuhl in Rochester.

You’ll want to read all about how they made people stand for 2 hours, including 80-year-olds who were hunched over and uncomfortable. It probably looked better on camera to have the people on their feet.

Once the speeches got going, it was the same standard crap you’d get at any Republican rally (with slightly less uses of the word “Macaca”)… Our next governor this and stand with the troops that. Reynolds spoke about protecting our kids for a little bit, and Kuhl explained that Massa wants to privatize social security… I don’t think either of these statements is very valid. When they finished up, we were told that Laura Bush was on the way and we’d just have to sit tight.

When Laura FINALLY arrived, Kuhl and Reynolds walked back on stage with her. Lots of smiling, lots of camera flashes… not a lot of depth to her speech though. For the 5 millionth time, I heard how valuable reading is from the first lady. It never ceases to amuse me how Laura always encourages her audience to get involved in reading, but if half of them started reading real news, they’d probably would turn into Democrats. She went on for about 20 minutes, but in all honesty there isn’t much for me to report. She emphasized that we need these Repubs to stay in office to help Bush, so we can continue to “stand with the troops,” but that’s about it. When she was done, the Secret Service ushered her out and we were left to vacate the premises.
