Most locals were enthusiastic about her presence, and shook
her hand vigorously. One woman asked Mrs. Cheney how she felt
about her husband, Vice President Dick Cheney.
"I love Dick," she said.
Even the Mountain View police were happy to shake Mrs. Cheney's
hand,
after which they went back to explaining to her entourage how they
must stay in the designated Free Speech Zones set up for that
purpose, which were noticably absent of festival-goers. But Mrs.
Cheney
and her crew would not be stopped. They continued shaking people's
hands, visiting booths, and thanking everyone.
Kids loved Smarty Marty, the smart bomb, and asked their parents
if they could have one just like it. "Oh, we can't afford a
real smart
bomb like that. Each one costs millions. It takes many taxpayers
giving up their hard earned money for education, healthcare and
retirement to pay for one of those smart bombs," said one parent
to their disappointed child.
Some people asked Mrs. Cheney why she was so thankful. "We're
making a killing in Iraq," she replied. "My hubby and
I are making millions
on just this war alone. Have you seen how my stock in Lockheed
Martin has gone up? I'm one of the major shareholders, and I love
Bush.
Don't you? We couldn't have done it without your support for the
war.
I bought my lovely suit with the extra money you gave me from the
recent tax cut. I now have a dozen just like it at home," she
said.
Mrs. Cheney's crew had a great time accompanying Mrs. Cheney passing
out more than 1,200 flyers to all the surprised and astonished little
people at the festival.
Her visit to the festival took over 5 hours, and South Bay Mobilization
was honored to escort her throughout the festival and treated her
to
ice cream afterwards at a local hangout.
