Bumper Sticker: Bush / Orwell '04 Ignorance Is Strength

Eleanor Clift mentions in her latest column that this is a popular bumper sticker around Washington. Does anyone know where I could order one? (I know I could make my own, but I'm lazy.)

I've seen the stickers that just say "Ignorance Is Strength" but I haven't seen one that also has "Bush/Orwell '04" on it.

1. You know what's really sad?

Repubs would probably actually AGREE with that statement:"Ignorance is Strength".

4. thanks

But as I said, I was looking for the sticker that has both "Bush/Orwell '04" and "Ignorance Is Strength".

5. I've seen the Bush/Orwell '04 ... but nothing else on it.

It uses the same design as the Bush/Cheney '04 stickers. I'm not sure adding another line of text would make for a very legible sticker on the road.

6. I'd get one, except

I fear that around here most people seeing it would think it really was a pro-Bush sticker and the reference to Orwell would be over their heads.

Ignorance is Strength.

7. Saw This One....

I've got to get one. It says:

"THE LAST TIME WE MIXED RELIGION WITH GOVERNMENT, WE WERE BURNING PEOPLE AT THE STAKE."

8. I never really got this bumpersticker

I mean, Orwell wrote the books, so Orwell would be against such a government. It seems like "Bush/BB '04" or "Bush/O'Brian '04" would make a lot more sense.

9. I agree

I agree. I understand the use of "Orwellian" as an adjective, but Orwell personally was a socialist, with strong anarchist leanings (he did after all, fight for the POUM anarcho-syndicalist union during the Spanish Revolution).
