who's the clown?

I passed an old woman on the street today after work. She was having a little trouble getting out of her handicap parking space, so i offered to help with her door. I forgot I had my DNC badge on.

Old lady: why thank you.
Nikki: no problem. glad to help.
Old lady: (peering down at my right shoulder blade trying to read the badge attached to my shirt) oh! you work for the democrats?
Nikki: yes. I'm working hard to get Kerry in the white house come november. who are you voting for?
Old lady: (she stood straight up, tightened her lips, and almost screamed) I don't like Kerry at all!
Nikki: oh, okay. (backing away, i just got off of work--who wants this right now? not me!)
Old lady: I would never vote for a clown! (she yells on her way into the grocery store)
Nikki: Then why are you voting for Bush?
Old lady: (pushing the cart into the store she turns arounds and totally gives me the "evil eye")

It's really best just to walk away and laugh. poor old mean lady. she must not have access to all the meds she needs because her healthcare costs have increased 15% in the last year or something.
