Sen. John Kerry would appoint a salmon czar who would answer directly to him and his vice president if he

[Liz]

Thanks John, this is just what the US needs....a salmon czar (/sarcasm).

[goldstategop]

Seinfeld said what he hopes will give him a sporting chance in Idaho. Bwahahahaha!!!

[xsmommy]

how discriminatory, what will the TUNA think.... ; )

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I'm glad to see that Kerry is boldly taking on the salmon issue. But would he be willing to launch an investigation into why they call it Chicken of the Sea even though there's no chicken in it?

Perhaps we need a Salmon Ambassador to the U.N. The press is worried the salmon won't LIKE us if we don't fix those dams. Maddie Albright is concerned the 'terrist Salmon' will turn on us...they're being deprived of a friendlier habitat by that mean ole George Bush.

Kerry Moves a River. Didn't Gore Open a Dam?

Don't miss this.

I was gonna suggest Kerry name a turkey czar. Then I rememberd the Dim turkey was already running for president.

Yeah, Gore opened one, but Clinton didn't give a damn.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I hear he wants Salmon Rushdie for the job.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Salmon czar? cool...I like my salmon done on the grill with a light butter/garlic brush followed by a squeeze of lemon.. Will the czar support this over the nerds who microwave salmon using mayonnaise and dill?

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Gee, Liz. I gotta assume you're an easterner.

[Mo1]

He even has a comprehensive plan

[RightOnline]

Ohfercryinoutloud.

[Ragirl]

Next, he'll propose a Caviar Czar! What a dufus.

[Cuttnhorse]

Hey, I have a ranch in Salmon, Idaho...would the czar live there??

Salmon, Idaho...population 3,000.
Nearest large cities:
Missoula, Montana, 150 miles
Idaho Falls, Idaho, 160 miles

Kerry is just FISHING for votes.

Roger Singer, Idaho director of the Sierra Club, a national environmental group, said either candidate would do more for salmon than President Bush.

There goes the salmon vote. By the way, shouldn't it be "tsalmon tsar"? Some experts on FR have noted that "tsar" is an academically more correct spelling... and it just has a nice written ring to it.
