Bus Trip
I will be on the bus. Anyone else?-willieh
If George Duckworth and Porkchop were on the trip to give a truly balanced dialogue it would be a great trip.
Bus, what bus? I saw a dozen people herded into a couple of vans. Not too impressive. I'm sure the AG is on the edge of his chair. "Oh no, not that group of looney toons again..."
Do they offer a newsletter for all these conspiracy theories?
Wyatt, what did happen?-steelydan
We will all soon learn that NOTHING happened except Rick made a few bucks off the "bus" heist and got his lunch tab picked up by his worshipers. I'm going through my notes. More later.

Were windows licked?

Bus, what bus? I saw a dozen people herded into a couple of vans. Not too impressive. I'm sure the AG is on the edge of his chair. "Oh no, not that group of looney toons again..."I suppose the bus shown on the TV news was some type of "special effect" made to make a van or two look like a full sized bus?

It certainly looked like a real bus to me, Non-seq. Hey, maybe Detroit's changed the definition of "van" to include full-sized buses and Sweet-P has changed to meaning of a "dozen" to "about 50."-jdtippett
"File footage?"
Hey republikin , tell us how small or big was the bus sinse you were on it and how many folks took the trip with you??????
I am amazed that they found that out 1962 Greyhound Bus in the junkyard. Did y`all see all of the black smoke blowing out of the back??? I hear that it broke down 4 times coming back from Columbia!!! It was the first time that it was driven out of the junkyard since 1984!!!!!

See below ! Much of the coverage was "structured."
Maybe it was the fact that the Governor saw fit to snub the band of loony-tunes that made the trek to Columbia.
Maybe it was the fact that Rickey Dribble insulted the AG the DAY OF DEPARTURE ... ON THE AIR.
Maybe it was the fact that while Ricky and his band 'o loony-tunes didn't LIKE what happened, it certainly WAS NOT ILLEGAL.
... then to listen to Ricky whine this morning about "... getting rid of governement officials that do nothing ..."
The AG's office is MANDATED BY LAW Rickey. The Governor's office is MANDATED BY LAW Rickey. Just because neither group opted to side with you does not mean they are "useless" or "do nothing."
Get a clue, please. Talk about sinking credibility.

Hey, you're right Non-sequitor, according to the news coverage there was a bus. What I witnessed was apparently a caravan to meet the bus. There were 10-12 people in the group that met at the post office. My error in jumping to the conclusion that this comprised the entire group.
However, the run to the AG, governor, and ethics people was probably not a success. Unless laws were broken--and that has not been proven at this point--they have no case. Gripes and complaints perhaps, but nothing that could be acted on by state officials.
I only hope the individuals on the bus were more polite to the people in Columbia than the venomous crowd that attended the council meeting were on Tuesday night. Mob mentality does not usually play well.
What was funny is that from accounts related, no appointments were made to meet with either the AG's office nor Gov. Sanford. "I'm Rick Driver and demand to see the King!!!" Hogwash. No wonder they "were busy".
The Ethics commission chairman (Mr. Hayden) spoke with some of us and took down our concerns.
The Governor's office was a little less accomodating, but we should be able to take care of this soon. Do I think it was a bust? Absolutely not. Do I think it was effective? Probably so. If nothing else, we learned a lot and know which way we should proceed from here.
It was a long day. We didn't get back home until after 8:00 pm. I think it was worth it and I feel that we accomplished a lot.
The bus did break down. We had a flat tire. Fortuneatly, it was near a rest area, and we were able to get off the bus and stretch etc. while the tire was being changed.
That's about it.
Is it true that the 8 track tape player in the WAIM Magical Mystery Tour Bus broke down while it was playing "The Green, Green Grass of Home" by Tom Jones????
