Creepiness at Clinton Rally
A buddy of mine recently sent me this photo he shot at a Hillary Clinton rally. I probably wouldn’t have noticed, but he pointed out an interesting figure, just to Hillary’s left. This person appears to be reading, and preparing to photograph, a Disney book. Or possibly using the book to hide his clandestine efforts at photography. With a disposable camera. Amazon.com describes the book as a “Lift-the-Flap Surprise Story.” LMAO. What was going on here??
Also note the pudgy Travis Bickel type right behind him. Were there any Secret Service personnel here? I would think this would set off some alarm bells, but what do I know. Maybe these two were the SS detail.

okay, I AM THE PUDGY TRAVIS BICKEL haha. My name is mitch. that picture was taken at the iowa memorial union in Iowa city Iowa. I actually found this picture because i was watching taxi driver today, and i wanted a good picture of travis bickel as my wallpaper. so i search that on google, and this picture comes up as number 4 of almost 7000 pics. i search for a random movie character and find that i am actually noted as being like that character to no knowledge of my own! haha. i get such a kick out of this website comparing me to the travis bickel character, one of the greatest and most quoted cinematic characters of all time! makes me PROUD to be the pudgy travis bickel haha! keep up the good work guys!

M, I am so glad you posted. What a great story about you finding yourself in the no. 4 position Google in a search for Travis Bickel. You are quite famous.
I was there on that hot day mostly to listen to Bill. I ended up taking some good pics of him, and Hillary’s Camel Toe. When viewing the photos later, I noticed some interesting characters in the audience. Yes, I took the now famous “Pudgey Travis Bickel” pic. Maybe we’ll bump into each other in IC some time. Since you don’t know what I look like, the code word will be “PTB”

Sadly, no. I have since graduated and am in the process of finding a real job, unless I can find about the most laid back employer in the world, I think I’ll have to look a little more normal. But i will always want to wear it!
