GOP has dol-fun (RNC has Flipper costumers out)

If you see folks on the streets of New York in dolphin suits, and wonder why they're wearing heavy, airless, synthetic-fiber getups in the killing summer sun, here's the answer:
The Republican National Committee has deployed staffers and volunteers to impersonate Flipper, the beloved dolphin who starred in the 1960s television series. It's to lampoon Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and his alleged flip-flops on the issues.

RNC communications chief Jim Dyke yesterday told me that his office has bought 10 of the bulky, heat-stroke-inducing costumes, at $500 per, so a whole school of Flippers can attend Democratic Party events during the Republican Convention - including the Dems' daily news conference criticizing the opposition.

"We call them 'Flipper and friends,'" Dyke said. "We're trying to get them to DNC events and help DNC surrogates get around the city. We want the Democrats to feel comfortable in New York - make them feel as if their flip-flopping candidate were present."

I hope these idiotic GOP stunts back fire on them! Grow-up!

7. And the Black Bloc seems to be carrying matches.

These fools will hopefully get a visit from protesters. (Note: I am not advocating violence. I am just pointing out that the dragon was burned.

3. Well, we got the Bush puppet

The rethuglicans are so lame. Our protests are so much better. And the repukes are soooooo easy to make fun of.

4. Dems need to send out Trojan Horses.

Bush is a Trojan Horse for the military-industrial-media complex. His goal is to destroy and/or enslave the middle class and establish totalitarianism throughout the world. (Did I leave anything out?)

5. They forgot to mention...

That peoples in Planet of the Apes costumes will be at the RNC to make them feel as if their Chimpanzee candidate were present.

6. excuse me?

We want the Democrats to feel comfortable in New York...

What utter arrogance...the GOP invades a Democratic city, and acts like THEY belong and WE don't. Jackass.

8. Um, that's rather obscure...

I mean, if I see some dork in a dolphin suit, my first thought is not going to be: "Hm...dolphin...flippers...flip-flop--John Kerry! Ahahaha!" It's going to be, "Dude. There's some dork in a dolphin suit. What's up with that?"

I am happy that the Daily News has a nicely sarcastic tone to this report.

I hope at least one of their zippers gets stuck and they can't get out...
