I would add that a recording of Flipper's voice over a loudspeaker to interject at Kerry campaign stops would be the icing on the cake.
Great minds think alike, Rockitz!

Republicans deem Kerry to be a dolphin

Columbus, OH, Jun. 17 (UPI) -- Two Ohio Republicans tried to drown out a speech by U.S. presidential hopeful John Kerry, playing the "Flipper" theme song from speakers set up on their lawn.

The Washington Post said the Wednesday incident occurred as Kerry made an outdoor campaign speech pitching the Democratic stance on reduced taxes for the middle class in Columbus, Ohio.

To organizers' dismay, the theme song from the television show continually increased in volume from two stadium-size speakers.

Apparently referring to Kerry's record of taking more than one side of an issue, the lyrics drowned out Kerry's microphone.

"They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning / No one, you see, is smarter than he," the music blasted.

Campaign workers ordered the media bus to back up and block the sound, and Columbus police were dispatched. The music was turned down...

I found videos on Amazon that would, of course, have the theme song and the voice of Flipper. If you look into this, read the reviews as apparently there are different voices in some of the movies and we would obviously like to have people relate to the TV series.

Do you think Kerry will come to SoCal that often during the campaign season? I envision sort of a sound board that would have different snippets of Flipper's voice as well as the theme song. At the very least, we should learn the words to the song so we can sing it in unison at FReeps. Are we going to try to get the local RNC to cough up $700 for the Flipper duds?

I went ahead and snagged a used video, "Flipper's New Adventure" (1964) for about $6 and will record the theme song and snippets of Flipper's voices for the next SoCal Kerry FReep. I'll also try to have digital versions that I can send in e-mail to FReeepers across the country.
