ReDefeatBush.com’s Radio Campaign Parodies Bush and Cheney’s 9/11 Testimony and Blasts their Foreign Policy Blunders


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hours before the President and Vice President are scheduled to appear before the 9/11 Commission, ReDefeatBush.com will treat Internet users and DC area radio listeners to the only available broadcast of their testimony in the form of an animated and an audio satire. The parody will air on WJFK-FM in Washington between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. during the Howard Stern Show and be released online as a flash animation at www.ReDefeatBush.com. The broadcast is part of a $25,000 advertising campaign launched by the Committee to ReDefeat the President, a federal PAC, that also includes two 60-second ads for ReDefeatBush condoms and other merchandise. It is the committee’s first major media buy.

Leading this campaign is a two-minute vignette called "Sorry" that is the first installment of ReDefeatBush.com's ReDefeatBush Theater. It features President Bush and Vice President Cheney admitting that the 9/11 attacks closely followed the breakdown of negotiations with the Taliban in the summer of 2001. Vice President Cheney apologizes for what Joseph Trento, managing director of the National Security News Service and author of The Secret History of the CIA has called “the greatest foreign policy blunder of the past thirty years.” Securing Afghanistan's approval for a U.S.-led natural gas pipeline across the country was among the U.S. government's top priorities during the talks, which ended after the U.S. delegation threatened an American-led invasion if Afghanistan failed to agree to the proposal.




Next week ReDefeatBush.com will release another installment of ReDefeatBush Theater. Entitled "Jeopardy," and following that game show's format, it features President Bush unable to answer questions on the topic of managing advanced industrial capitalism.
