I Met Max Clealand last night.
While driving the Pants on Fire mobile an SUV pulled up next to Me. The guy in the passenger seat rolled down the window and commented on the POF mobile. He looked familiar I didn't connect. I couldn't help but notice his Right arm was amputated. So I asked if he was going to the veterans meeting? The lady in the back seat said " This is Max Clealand" I jumped out of the car and shook his hand. When I get the pic I'll post it. The second best thing was the DU party. Sorry Guy's

1. That is way cool!
Congrats to you. Mr. Cleland is sort of a hero of mine because of his sacrifice for his country, unlike the chickenhawk in chief. KERRY/EDWARDS IN '04! Can you feel it?

8. You were driving that!
Awesome. I was at the Bell in Hand and we were cheering everytime you drove by. That is cool as hell.

I saw Max Cleland at the Hardball set in Quincy Market. He is a hero of mine as well. I started talking to a German tourist there and explained the whole Saxby/Cleland thing. He was horrified.

God Bless Max, can't wait to here him tomorrow.

This is truly a great week!

9. I have met him before as well
He is a great american hero, and a great extemporaneous speaker. I hope the Kerry administration finds a prominent place for him.
