How can this be brought out in political terms?
Kenny boy is laying back, living the high life while MILLIONS of Americans are losing their homes, having trouble keeping their electricity turned on, able to buy gas two gallons at a time and having to barely subsist EVEN when working.

Whistle-ass and Asscrack are the ones who bear the final responsibility for prosecution of this asshole son of a bitch. So why aren't they?

And why aren't they being tarred with this every single day?

Is is because there is such an embarassment of riches that Whistle-ass is responsible for or is it because no one is taking up the call?

Who is going to shout for justice for the working poor? Who?

2. Easy. We get Kenny boy to do fake ads for the republicans
and we air them.

Or if he won't do it, how 'bout a look a like?

3. Kenny boy should
for sure be lighting fat cigars with hundred dollar bills while chortling at a working-poor family being pitched into the street. Narration: "In our system, there are winners and losers." Drinking champaign: "I win, you lose. And no one is going to do a thing about it. HAHAHAHA". The laughter should run over photos of Whistle-ass, Cheney and Asscrack.

Just a thought.

4. Excellent idea!
A Kennieboy impersonator is brilliant. Now if a dem sugar daddy would just bankroll a few ads.

Or maybe even just a few 'press conferences', or just have him stand around repug events. Footage of him slipping out the back door of a puke fundraiser into a limo.

Somebody do this!

7. Try this:
Split screen.

Bush giving his "crackdown on corp criminals speech" on one side

A Kenny-boy look-alike lounging on a yacht on the other.

or, if available

pics of Kenny-boy with Bush.

Just a thought

8. Kenny ain't the only one. There's worldcom
getting fat contracts in Iraq.

There's Halliburton, breaking every law about working for the enemy, having their "subsidiaries" working for Libya, Iran, and all the other "bad guys" and bragging about it in their annual report.

(sigh) it just goes on and on and on .........

16. That is what we should pound on
Fat contracts to cronies of the Bush Admin. What is it like $1.6 Billion to Halliburton alone? At taxpayer expense? Sounds like bribery to me.

9. Next idea.
Form a "Ken Lay Defense Fund", make an attributed contribution to aWol's CREEP, so it shows up in Federal Election Commission reports.

Initial publicity, then screw up filing later FEC reports so it comes back as a rebound?
Hey, anybody can form a defense fund. We would simply be preparing for the charges we KNOW must be coming.

10. now THAT is a delicious idea. The only flaw is that ...
the media would somehow blame it on Bill Clinton.

12. It can't
That's so 2001.

Get over it.

Move on.



The working class doesn't care about social justice. They just care about having a decent, moral man in the White House.

13. a good place to start would be the
Class Action Reform Bill. if it passes the Senate it would give these and future criminals a free ride.

14. Right now, the nine candidates and a few activist celebs
Edited on Sat Aug-30-03 04:25 PM by leftofthedial
have a media voice. No one else can get the message to the masses.

This would need to become a talking point consistently with some of them.

Then, the few non-neocon voices in the media would need to agressively defend this from the inevitabl ebarrage of neocon spin.

As just and as compelling as I find this message, I don't see it becoming a major talking point.

Too bad. this is grossly unjust and the contrast is inescapable.

But if I'm Joe Six Pack, I care intensely that I don't have a job or that I can't afford gas. But it will take more than progressives can muster working through the neocon media to convince me that Ken Lay is to blame.

this should be the daily juice for editorial cartoonists and columnists. But the public's attention span has moved on.

15. my point is not to blame Lay so much ...
as to contrast this man living large on ill-gotten gains while so many hard-working, law abiding folk get the droppings from his table. That is the theme of the Bush administration.
