Here's an idea: Let's get Leno telling voting fraud jokes!

[Liberty Belle]

Comedian Jay Leno donates to the Dems, I've heard, and his jokes lately have been quite barbed toward the Bush administration--and toward the media for not bothering to ask serious questions.
Plus he's on NBC--the one network that doesn't seem to be completely averse to covering voting fraud.

I propose that we send him evidence of vote-rigging that he probably hasn't seen--and that we blatantly suggest he should make the rigging of the 2004 election a standard shtick in his routine. Besides the most serious stuff, we should send him info on GOP shennanigans that would be funny if this whole thing wasn't so serious.

We could even write up a few punch lines, for starters!

For your amusement, here are his latest anti-Bush zingers:

Late-Night Political Jokes for Dems

"Donald Rumsfeld held a question and answer session with soldiers on their way to Iraq and one soldier asked why a lot of their vehicles still don't have the proper armor and Rumsfeld said, 'You go to war with the army you have. Not the armor your wish for.' And then he got into his armored car and drove away." --Jay Leno

"Note to Donald Rumsfeld, you might want to cancel the next question and answer session with the troops. Unlike our media, they ask real questions apparently." --Jay Leno

"President Bush was in California today. He was addressing the troops at Camp Pendleton. While there Bush took a moment to thank all the people in California who voted for him. That is all it took; a moment." --Jay Leno

"Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson resigned from President Bush's cabinet. In his resignation speech he said he can't understand why terrorists haven't attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do. He also said the rear kitchen door to the White House is always left unlocked, the guard at the Statue of Liberty falls asleep at 3 am, oh and Bush's likes to sleep with the window open." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is adamant that the elections in Iraq will take place on schedule on January 30, if we postpone them then you get in conflict with the Golden Globes, the Oscars and then the Peoples Choice Awards." --Jay Leno

"President Bush has now nominated Bernard Kerik to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. Kerik is a former prison warden. See Bush wanted him around to make sure no one else in the cabinet tries to escape." --Jay Leno

1. These are really good, you made me laugh :)

You should send these to him, -I'm sure he'll use at least a couple.
WHo knows, maybe you'll even get paid.

2. Those ARE Leno jokes. I posted them as examples

of his pro-DEM humor. I'm not that funny, unfortunately!

3. Be careful...the last thing you want to happen is the vote fraud people...

becoming the brunt of jokes. That'd be the death knell. And that's why evidence needs to be collected, made coherent and not easily dismissed.


a side issue -- and that's why it's good John Kerry IS NOT out front on this right now. Al Gore was last time and...you know what happenned.

4. a good idea

that's a powerful propaganda tool

5. Excellent idea, though like EMunster points out above you want to be

carefull that WE don't end up being the brunt of the joke. Humor is an extremely powerful persuader. It usually requires that the general public consciousness be raised enough so that people know what the comic is refering to w/o them having to explain it though, so we may be too early yet on this. For example I knew about "hill billy armour" like two months ago, and that term was first published last summer in at least small US papers, but now a lot more folks are hearing the term so you could use it in a joke.

6. GREAT IDEA

But you have to stuff him with informations and new articles so he don't believe it's totally 'off'...

Comedians just talk about things which 'stand in the room'.

Not about things nobody know about...
