Inside a residence along the American River, some of Sacramento's most prominent Democrats rationed lamb chops and wine without their guest of honor Thursday. Outside stood anti-war protesters, a flag-draped coffin and more than 100 guests in dinner attire, all waiting for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
As a bomb squad examined the coffin serving as protest prop, the Democratic presidential candidate waited nearly two hours on the tarmac at nearby Mather Airport. Mainstream Democrats mixed with liberal activists in the street outside the home of developer Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis.
The host, a major Democratic fundraiser, was hardly amused. Not when she had to lead guests wearing high heels and loafers through a field path and then under a barbed-wired fence into her home. And certainly not when she discovered the delay caused some to leave without contributing, according to a letter The Bee obtained Monday.
"Of course, there were a few problems last night," Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis wrote to Clinton supporters. "People took their contributions and left in frustration. Others were turned away after hours of waiting. I have people in pictures whose names I don't know, and whose checks we haven't received, and people who didn't get pictures who contributed thousands of dollars."
The Sacramento developer and Democratic fundraiser later downplayed the extent to which there was contribution chaos. But she was still upset with anti-war activist Stephen Pearcy, partly because he had disrupted her reception and partly because she sees herself -- and Clinton -- as opponents of the Iraq war.
"I don't understand why in the world he would disrupt something like our event because, frankly, it is simply appalling that he and his friends are not going after the people in this (Bush) administration who have caused this war,"...

This sure looks like a “Dog, meet your fleas” moment.
heh heh heh
“people in this (Bush) administration who have caused this war...”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but she voted FOR the war, did she not???
Great news as the Hillary campagne wagon wheels start to come off. Now Wolfson can stopping yawning at Berstein’s book and start answering how the “experts” managed to botch Hillary’s event so much.
Bingo
LOL - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ha. Haha. Stephen Pearcy, most definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, still manages to cut both ways...
Who is broadcasting the R debate this week. If it is CNN, they should refuse to appear on the set Dems used. It is probably the worst TV set I have ever seen. That was my first impression and I have studied the pictures. In a long shot the candidates are invisible and lost in the busy chaos of the background. Up close, they are surrounded by CNN advertising. I counted four logos for CNN and the local station surrounding Clinton on all sides. Beyond that it is offensive and unpatriotic as it changes red, white and blue to rose, white, and light blue and splashes fragments of patriotic symbols in an incoherent Cubistic jumble.
You bred these loons. You've encouraged them more and more, time and time again. You've made them your base.
Now deal with it.
Oh yes....this brings back some of my fondest moments...running through fields and barbed wire while munching on my lamb chops.....tuff tootsies, babe!!
Hillary’s afraid of some war protestors, but she wants to be President? Bush has put up with war protestors, some of whom would probably kill him if they had a chance, for the last six years.
Y'all come back now ya hear!
“Mainstream Democrats mixed with liberal activists”
That’s repetitive.
Bush caused the war?
Quoth Hillary:
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
The CNN religion hoax that had Hil and 2 others spouting inanities to pry conservChristianPubs from the GOP last night was just as bad. For years the DemLeft has mocked and hated the Christian Right but now they want their votes. Yipe! I wonder if anyone but Rush will point out the giant hypocrisies.
