WASHINGTON - The dramatic turn of events at the June 2 Republican State Convention in Shreveport, made an impression on Brian Warren, a Ron Paul (http://topics.nola.com/tag/ron%20paul/index.html) supporter, albeit not a politically active one, from Ruston. Warren, who owns Emogen Marketing Group, asked Wes Johnson, one of his designers, to draw up a political cartoon depicting a Paulite view of the convention, with an eye to the fact that it occurred two days before the 23rd anniversary of the Chinese Army brutally suppressing protests in Tiananmen Square. Said Warren, "while Shreveport certainly wasn't on the same scale as Tiananmen, there remains the disturbing similarity of everyday citizens taking a stand for their liberties only to be met with violent restraint ordered by elitist leadership."

I loved how the article ended:

Party officials said later they believed that Herford's was an intentional pratfall, but Herford said if they imagine him a skilled acrobat, they are wrong. Asked if he has any circus background, Herford replied, "I am a member of the Republican State Central Committee. Does that answer your question?"

I think his having recently had hip replacement surgery is even more to the point.
