But yet you havent yet explained to me how Washington is closed, politicians are out of town, and you blame traffic on people living there.. Do you understand how many people went home this week and left Washington? Tell me how imaginary people, not in town, are to blame for traffic?

Not just NBC;

Huge throng crowds National Mall for Glenn Beck rally | McClatchy

Quote:
Hundreds of thousands of people streamed onto the National Mall for a rally featuring Fox News personality Glenn Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate.
Why are you so desperate to deny the obvious?

It seems to me that it was a big turnout, with some Anti-Obama & pro American T-shirts. Is it November yet?

I love that CBS headcount but I may have to watch Schieffer tomorrow morning to see if he holds out that number. I have sworn off him but may watch him tomorrow to see.

I think that the best head count can be seen on Fox News Sunday tomorrow then Chris Wallace has Beck as his special guest. Oh, I forgot, many of these people don't think Fox can do anything like count.

Hundreds of thousands sounds like a lot more than 87,000 to me. Oh well, it is not important but lefties will remain desirous of keeping any large numbers from being seen.
