Yesterday for the first time I saw the "PANTS ON FIRE MOBILE"

[Born_a_Democrat]

Rolling through the streets of Miami...


Just as I got off the Turnpike on my way home...this car passes me dragging a float-like vehicle behind it with a 12-foot statue on top of it...The pants area was dotted with red and yellow bulbs going off intermittently as well as a smoke machine which was rigged to go off with the lights...

The shirt said "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" AND "LIAR" underneath it...and the head was a lampshad like cylinder with 4 faces of BUSH (Oddly enough I always thought he was two-faced not four)...which was lit from the inside...

THIS THING WAS PHENOMINAL...IT REALLY MADE MY DAY TO SEE IT...especially in Miami....

Here is the story of it...How many of you have seen this vehicle?

5. I saw it in CT before Christmas

Great, innit?

I had to rush right home and fire off an encouraging e-mail.

You gotta love a good piece of political theatre.

6. Anybody else pick up on the last line in the story?

" Hundreds of political puppets were destroyed in a raid on the Haverford Puppet Theater in August 2000 before the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia."

What was that all about? Anybody know or remember this story?

9. Glad YOU have the photos. I thanked the reporter for covering it.

Here's what I sent to the reporter, Donna Callea, about it. Her email address is right there with the article.

Dear Donna,

I LOUDLY applaud your article about the delicious-sounding PantsOnFire-mobile. Why wasn't there a picture? I would love to see it rolling through my neighborhoods in So Cal, although many of us already ARE similarly enlightened. My condolences to your republi-CON party chair. If she's happy with the job that bush has done ANYWHERE, ON ANYTHING since he TOOK office, then she is delusional.

Thanks for running this. It made my day!
