Ben To Hit New York Towing Giant Bush with Pants Aflame

NEW YORK - October 14 - Ben Cohen, who brings whimsy to even the fiercest political debates, hits New York Wednesday, October 15, towing a giant statue of President Bush, with his presidential pants “flaming.”

“Millions of Americans believe that Bush has lied about really important things, but few can bring themselves to use the ‘L’ word. So here it is, with a smile,” says Ben Cohen, who now heads TrueMajorityACTION, the online advocacy organization.


The 12-foot statue of Bush, which rides on a flatbed towed by a Crown Victoria, is equipped with artificial flames that shoot out from the President’s trousers.


Ben is personally driving the Bush effigy to New York from his home in Vermont. He will arrive in Manhattan Wed., October 15 and will be available for interviews with the Bush statue at Broadway and Wall Street at 6 p.m. or through contacts below.


TrueMajorityACTION members will drive the protest vehicle around the New York area from Oct. 15 till Nov. 7 when it will head out on a cross-country tour, spreading the word that Bush is lying to the American people, not only about Iraq, but about the economy, education, health care, and more.

:o

that's very cute. :D

:evilgrin: YEAH :evilgrin:

I've been trying to think up similar ideas for awhile now. Creativity is key. You just know this'll get on the national news, and everyone understands, "liar liar pants on fire".

Kent brockamn:Areyou telling me homer is a liar
Roger meyers(i think):Well, we do ahve footage of his pants on fire
(cut to homer running around with burning pants screaming)

But I am really Happy that Ben has the Brass to do this!

Remember Ben's other visual stunt with the money in the rolling pigs?

I can't remember exactly what it was ..can someone help out here?

The pigmobiles showed how federal money is distributed. The pigs came after his Oreo graph. (I have that one on tape.)

Ben is Brilliant! And I'm grateful he's got the dinero and creativity to help us all out!

"Pants on Fire"...Awesome visual! There was a great cartoon showing that but I don't know where it is.

Thanks! :hi:
