Bring 'Em On (and I Mean the Banjos)!

The "You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy" Tour is about to reach its destination -- the football field at a local high school in Crawford, Texas. The tour hopes to counteract the success of the Cindy Sheehan protest. She is, after all, an incredibly threatening, middle aged mother, who needs to go down.

But I'm beginning to think that the right-wing has no copywriters among its ranks. The "You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy!" Tour? A bit clumsy, no? If you're gonna plan a whole tour, you might as well give it a catchy name.

And this tour name can't hold a candle to the Department of Defense-sponsored "American Supports You Freedom Walk." Depending upon where you place the clearly missing punctuation, this name could mean any number of things. I won't get into it, as Titivil has already analyzed this in depth with a couple of follow ups.

The Republican Party has proven they know how to control a message better than the Democrats. How come they can't seem to do better at the public demonstration aspect of things? Is it the lack of irony?

I think it's the fact that their robots can't pass for people in public, so they have to hire actors trained to portray Republicans.
