DUers: Help Franken run up votes on "Pet Goat" Amazon review

[gauguin57]

DUers ... be sure you get the numbers up on the not-so-subtly anti-Bush review (by Lolla Fallujah) of the "The Pet Goat" reader on Amazon.com. The Al Franken show is trying to get the "yes this review was helpful to me" votes up and up on this!! Please vote!!

The review is titled "Presidential material, through and through!" It's here:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0026863553/002-3961192-7336835

Just click on "Yes" where it asks if it's helpful to you.

To read how this all started, go to the Al Franken show Web page

http://209.208.176.243/bin/blogExcerpts.cfm?blogId=1&prg=3

and look below the "Bush Flippity Flop" transcript (it was very funny when Al delivered it on the show today) ... and look for "A Literary Digression."

On the Franken blog, it says the number of positive votes started at 412 -- now they're at 2170 or something like that.

2. I like her review of David Hassolhoff's CD

Well spank my granny and call me Tootie!, July 6, 2004
Imagine if David Crosby, Jan Hammer, The Cowsills, Eamon, Oak Ridge Boys, Kevin Lyttle, William Hung, She Daisy, Dire Straits, The Inkspots, Damn Yankees, Bootsy Collins, Red House Painters, NoFX, Art Garfunkel, Sheila Chandra, Engelbert Humperdinck, Jay-Z, Phyllis Diller, 3rd Bass, Swingle Singers, Anita Baker, Gwar, The Whispers, 4 Non Blondes, Perry Como, Morris Day & the Time, KMFDM, Eva Cassidy, 24-7 Spyz, Cornershop, Indigo Girls, Mandy Patinkin, The Dwarves, Spin Doctors, and Outkast gathered into one room, dropped a huge brick on their toes, and sang a song together. I think it would sound exactly like David Hasselhoff's voice.

13. Dammit! I think Amazon got rid of the review. It was there ...

... a few minutes ago, and the numbers were climbing and climbing ... now, suddenly, the review is gone!!!!

CENSORSHIP!!!!!

14. They did the same thing for the Swiftboats book!!

There were a bunch of reviews and some negative ones. I wrote a negative review Monday. I checked today, and only one (positive) review was there.

I just checked back, and now there are 3 reviews of "Unfit". 2 negative.

Here are some previous reviews of the My Pet Goat reader ... all of which have, obviously, deleted...

16. Yes, but on the bright side...

The positive reviewer still isn't voting for Bush! Hes going for Badnarik. So he's not completely brainwashed.

Only enough to drink the UNSWEETENED Kool-Aid.

17. The deleted review:

***** Presidential material, through and through!, July 6, 2004

Reviewer: Lolla Fallujah (Hannah Storm's house) - See all my reviews

After reading the enclosed story "The Pet Goat," I was stunned by its lyrical beauty and easy cadence. The tempo, the choice of words, and the layout on each page captured my imagination so much that it took me about seven minutes to recover my bearings.
