“This year will be one of the biggest JJs ever,” promised Iowa Democratic Party Chair Gordon Fischer. “This will be the election kickoff party, marking the final days of the Bush Administration." [I can certainly get behind that, Gordo. Sort of like the end of the evil empire.]
Fischer continues, "Al Franken has been at past JJs, but this year he’ll take it to a whole new level. Gerry McEntee is a great speaker who is sure to fire up the crowd, and we have some other surprise special guests on tap who will add excitement."
I hope good ol' Gerry reprises the "Howard Dean is insane" line because, gosh, we really ARE so much safer now that Saddam has been removed from that spider hole. And speaking of spider holes, I wonder what Joe "Jomentum" Lieberman is up to these days?
The 2003 JJ Dinner was attended by over 7000 people, attracted seven presidential candidates, including Howard Dean, and was televised live by C-Span.
