"One featured a picture of Osama bin Laden and the words: “My best friends are Dana Priest, James Risen, and Eric Lichtblau”
OK, who was it?"
I'll bet it was Buford.
I think that the "My best friends . ." sign was the brilliant creation of staytrue, but BufordP made an incredible Pulitzer prize winning sign, apparently suggested by (or using) another's idea. Numerous other FReepers had great signs.
Dr. Raoul had a truly funny costume.
As always, this was the most fun FReep of the year. We have numerous photos and stories.
DC Chapter was reinforced by FReepers from TN, OH, CN, and NJ.
This followed a FReep, earlier in the day, of Fred Phelps' hate cult as they did a blood dance outside Bethesda Naval Hospital, FReepers being honored by standing with large numbers of Rolling Thunder and other veterans.
A second FReep in the day was against peaceniks in Olney, MD, but distance prevented FReepers from attending both Olney and the White House Correspondents' (WHCA) Dinner FReep. We split our forces.
Just the night before, many FReepers were also at Walter Reed Army Hospital to support the wounded troops there and oppose a Code Pinko blood dance.
Four FReeps in 2 days. IIRC, PleaDeal is doing reports on Walter Reed and Bethesda FReeps, Sauropod is doing the report on the WHCA, and trooprally will report on the Olney FReep. Others will be helping supply photos and input. It may take a few days.
Let me know if you want to be pinged to the After-Action reports or simply click here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=dcchapter
and you should start seeing the reports in a few days.
Jim, you see what you started. Thanks for giving us our voice online and paving the way for this.

Excellent guess. Buford takes no prisoners.
