Falling Flags (Truly symbolic)
ABC News ^ | 11/12/07 | The Notes

Then, on Sunday, everything started falling down around her.

After a very Presidential-esque news conference - Clinton turned around to leave the reporters and their peppering questions. A staffer swooped open a curtain, and chaos ensued. Four large American flags came crashing in front of Senator Clinton as she headed for the door. In a controlled panic, the staffers and the Senator attempted to catch the flags before they fell to the ground.

"I think the bases are not weighted enough." Clinton said as she propped flags back up.

Yup. Looks like video has been yanked. The fact that we’re getting the “Service Unavailable” page proves that the server hasn’t crashed. Sigh....they pulled it. Would have been nice to see.

She was’nt near the flags when it happened. Some staffer pulled a curtain open and knocked one into the other two on that side. She then walks over to hold onto one while they straighten it out. Really nothing to see.

It says “Service Unavailable.”

Some little liberal minion at ABC took care of it for Hildabeast?

As if there was EVER any doubt. Couldn’t have had a more obvious omen, though.

I can’t get any of the links to work. Did ABC pull the plug on the video?

I had fortunately left my page open and still had the video, so I just taped it on my digital camera—is this sort of thing copyrighted? Or could I put it on tinypic.com without getting in trouble? I don’t want the Beast coming after me! :-)
