Here’s a run-down of my run-ins with the GOP rapid-response team in Boston so far:
1. Abercrombie guys and gals dressed up as giant flip-flop sandals with signs declaring Kerry to be without conviction. Are all Young Republicans this good looking?
2. Man pushing baby in stroller outfitted with “Re-elect Bush/Quayle” sign. Not a typo.
3. “God Hates America” protestors in the Democracy Pen under the T tracks. Why does God hate America, you might ask? Because we looooves the gays and the sodomy.
Hold the complaints — I’m aware that the real GOP operatives aren’t vicious haters, G.H.W. Bush fans, or attractive. But nonetheless, an interesting sampling of identifiable Republicans here in the lefty bastion of Massachusetts.
