Here's a "fun" one:

1. This has got to get into the ad directors head at the Kerry camp.

It is a clean powerful factoid - one folks can handle - unlike much of Kerry's advertising.

2. I’ll drive that BCCI tanker.

I've been singing that tune on DU for almost three years...

Here’s how John Kerry busted the BFEE via BCCI:

The largest transnational criminal enterprise ever discovered, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International was shut down thanks largely to the efforts of one man — Senator John Kerry. He found the bank by chasing down the international drug running of former Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega.

BCCI was a bank set up by a Pakistani mystic, backed by Gulf Oil petro-billions and its deposits stolen and used for arch-criminality. Fueled by all its oil money, legitimate small depositors, and laundered drug billions, BCCI did Big Time business with the world’s biggest crooks and gangster governments.

BCCI laundered money for drug smugglers and gun merchants. BCCI moved funds around the world for the KGB, the CIA, and terrorists of the right like Ollie North and left like Abu Nidhal. BCCI helped fund and arm the mujahedeen in Afghanistan, including Osama bin Laden.

BCCI money was used to bribe and blackmail politicians worldwide, both liberal Democrat but especially conservative Republican. Worst of all, money from BCCI was used to build Pakistan's H-bomb, apparently with the full knowledge of then-president George Herbert Walker Bush.

In the early 1990s, then-private citizen George Walker Bush, son of the president, benefited financially from BCCI. The bank helped fund at least one of his failed oil exploration ventures.

W’s Texas Air National Guard friend, James R Bath, was reported to be a director of BCCI. Bath, who was kicked off the Texas ANG flight line, along with his fellow officer Bush Jr, also was involved with BCCI through the bin Laden and bin Mahfouz families.

BCCI was protected by politicians the world over, including members of both parties in the United States. The record shows BCCI bought influence at the highest levels of the US Government, establishing a secret United States presence — First American Bankshares in Washington DC — with the help Clark Clifford and those close to Jimmy Carter on the Democratic side.

BCCI did even BIGGER Business with the Repukes, using the services of Henry Kissinger and his crowd — and wherever there's a Kissinger, a Bush won't be far behind. Of course, president George HW Bush did all he could to bury the BCCI Affair. It was personal, after all, it involving his sons, family and closest friends and business associates all the way from the Middle East to Texas.

What America needs to learn: As a Freshman, Senator Kerry tried to do something about it. What's weird is how few Democrats supported him then. Democrats and free-thinking Americans can make up for “then” now. It may be our last chance.
