OJ case gets impeachment on the air

Diane Lawrence and friends in OJ's driveway

Quick thinking, gang, way to go! It was early Thursday morning and Diane Lawrence’s daughter called and said there were a lot of TV trucks at O.J. Simpson’s house in Miami. Diane is passionate about impeachment, and in less than two hours she was out there in OJ’s driveway waving a sign demanding impeachment of Dick Cheney (Bush, too).

And a half-dozen of her friends from Democracy for America and related Democratic clubs were with her, also waving signs such as “OJ killed two, Bush killed 1,000’s” and “Cover the real story -- Iraq.” A passing car stopped and two girls got out and joined the demo for over an hour, Lawrence said.

This inspired protest has been on local radio and television in Miami, and did anyone see it on MSNBC? Some say yes. There's a snip of it in this report on Channel 4 CBS.

Lawrence said one of the broadcast reports included her juiciest comment: “The real criminals are in the White House.”

Her view of OJ: “A trashy story.” A lot of people honked in agreement with her.
