Demz Can Has A Bumper Sticker? The DSCC [warning: flash], a group that works to elect Democrats to the Senate, is urging Democrats to vote on its four suggestions -- "or create one of your own by midnight August 27." "We need a turn of phrase that really jumps out and tells you right off the bat what this election is all about," said James Carville in a message to Democrats. Carville is credited with the famous phrase, "It's the Economy, Stupid". In a message to DSCC supporters on Thursday, Carville said sometimes the best ideas come from people outside Washington. "Heck, come up with something good enough, I'll risk my own safety and put it on my wife's car," Carville said. (His wife Mary Matalin is a Republican and a former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney.) But will they have learned their design lesson?

Apparently it has to be 40 characters or less. "Yay Capitulators! Vote Democratic 2008!" "We Were Liberal When Liberal Wasn't . . . Wait (Dems '08)" "A Quidnunc In Everybody's Pot - Silly Party 2008"

  • We stand for something. Very Strongly.
  • You know how two-line bumper stickers are, by convention, some kind of pun or joke? "Golfers do it in the rough," that sort of thing? I saw one the other day that read: GEORGE W. BUSH IS A LYING SACK OF SHIT I don't know why it's funny because it's NOT a joke, but it was.

  • What the fuck were you thinking? I think it is hilarious, and hilariously typical of my party, that they limit you to 40 characters, thereby eliminating the possibility that TWO OF THE STICKERS THAT THEY THEMSELVES PRODUCED WOULD BE ACCEPTED. Sigh.
  • "Democrats 2008 I'm Hittin' It" I dunno, sure why not. Oooh! "Democrats 2008 Sure, Why Not?" There we go. Fixed that for me.

  • Wow. Those do suck. I'd go for the Jimmy Smits one. He was the Conky Repairman, you know. Had a little thing with Miss Yvonne.
  • I think it is hilarious, and hilariously typical of my party, that they limit you to 40 characters Well, you can limit 'em to 40 characters, but these characters would rather be thinking in the billions. Your billions.
