El Segundo, CA(Satire) In a sudden, yet brilliant movedesigned to line the pockets of their investorsMattel, Inc. announces that they have designed the first ever Cindy Sheehan action figure. The makers of Barbie dolls have laid down the gauntlet and staked their position in the war for oil, siding with the plight of mothers across the world.
The talking action figure is a new girl in town that is destined to become a V.F.F. (virtual friend forever) to liberals everywhere. Mattel, Inc., a diverse company, created the figure and has won the hearts of people in Crawford, Texas, and across America with a doll that will take the First Amendment to a new level.
Its a stroke of genius from our R&D department, said Bob Eckert, President and CEO of Mattel. Were calling the doll Little Mommy Protester. With the tide turning against President Bush, weve got to get into the pockets of the American people before they become disenchanted with this movement. Its the smart thing to do! And we support Cindy Sheehan here at Mattel.
I was just fed up. When the 14 Marines were killed, and when George Bush said again that they died for a noble cause, and he said we have to complete the mission by honoring the sacrifices of the fallen heroes, that was it, I just was so enraged, noted Cindy Sheehan in an interview with Reuters. I fully support Mattel and am honored to be a spokesperson for the First Amendment. Its time our children learned the full power of it!
Bob Eckert also mentioned that the company would make three different action figures: Camping Cindy, Elegant Cindy, and Blue Jean Cindy. He noted that Camping Cindy will be sweat-soaked, wearing a t-shirt, headband and shorts while brandishing a sign that reads: Bring the Troops Home Now! Elegant Cindy is said to be adorned in an evening gown, but isnt too busy to take time out of a night on the town to protest the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. And according to Eckert, Blue Jean Cindy will be dressed in blue jeans and a halter top, catering to the hip, young liberals that want to bring the troops home now.
Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst who addressed protesters from the bed of a red pickup truck, reportedly called Sheehan their Rosa Parks, in a reference to the black woman who triggered civil rights protests after she was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Shes a special lady. I cant say enough about her and I think this move by Mattel is brilliant. I know Im going to by my little granddaughter a Cindy Sheehan action figure! Thanks, Mattel!
Hart Viges, 29, who joined the Army because of the Sept. 11 attacks proclaimed, We were used. I believe the government betrayed the United States armed forces. They sent them out on a mission that was meant for something other than weapons of mass destruction. Go Mattel, Go! Youre my hero Mr. Eckert! Well, you and Cindy Sheehan!
The action figures, set to hit stores on Labor Day weekend, has ensured that their stock will go through the roof, and has inspired Democratic Senators to continue their lockstep rhetoric in resistance to the war on terror, while leaning for a more peaceful resolution to the violence of sadistic terrorists.
Mattel is stepping up to the plate, said a soft spoken Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV. I think theyve hit a home run with this doll and Im willing to throw my weight behind Mattel from now on.
Mattel is doing something Ive wanted to do for the longest time, fired Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA. Theyre sticking it to the administration and I love em for it. Keep it up, Bob. You have my vote.
This action figure is long overdue, claimed Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-MA. I think its the bomb. Every liberal in America ought to buy one as soon as theyre available. Stand firm against the red, white and blue!
Eckert noted that each action figure would say something different. I dont want to give the whole thing away, Eckert stated. But one doll says, Bush lied and my son died. The other two say similar things. Its a gas, laughed Eckert.
Eckert also said that the company was working on two other anti-war dolls: The George Voinovich action figure, which cries and says, Im worried about our grandchildren, and the Hillary Clinton action figure that fights evil anti-abortion Republicans, avoids scandals and says, A womans right to choose is what matters most. Now put me in the White House!
As time goes by, the protestors in Crawford, Texas, grow larger and larger. The tide has slowly turned for George W. Bush, and Mattels insights into the American people have practically created a lame duck status, making Americans wonder what they voted for on November 2, 2004.
bump-a-tonk!

Hey. I don't know about Ann taking Hillary. Hillary is one of those that constantly jab, jab, jab and when you're not looking it's an uppercut and you're gone. :)
"Hi, I'm Cindy the action doll with my pet chicken. Pull my string, and I say clever things.
Bush sucks.
Israel out of Palestine.
War, what is it good for, absolutely nothing.
Hey Bush, send your daughters to Iraq.
If more women would abort their babies, there would be less males we have to send to war.
Michael Moore is so cute!
Let's choke a chicken together."
Nope. I need to call in on Rush, and ask him how he's doing. It'd be best to do on a Friday when it's open line Friday. Thanks for the wonderful remarks and I appreciate you reading, lady.

I didn't realize he had earned a Bronze Star. (not that is really matters......I'd support him either way)
God Bless him......and his grandparents....
Ah! That is the perfect one!
