I have to go to this FREEP.
Excellent!
Please bring the whole gang!
And your viseo camera!
When I start the NEW thread, I am considering a slightly MODIFIED approach to this FReep, keeping the focus on our money-grubbing soon-to-be-EX-governor Gray Davis:
"Hollywood Hookers say Gray Davis gives REAL prostitutes a bad name, protest Streisand fundraiser as 'unfair' competition"
HOLLYWOOD - Dozens of angry "ladies of the evening" will descend on Hollywood's Kodak Theatre Sunday to protest what they say is "unfair competition" from California's governor Gray Davis.

"We are honored that the Davis administration would adopt our business model for implementing their major policy decisions," said one woman who chose not to identify herseelf. "It's just that bringing in someone like Barbra Streisand to pick up $4 million for singing three songs is not fair. All we have to offer is some physical pleasures, but HE can give away the state!"

Another unHappy Hooker agrees, "That kind of money buys a lot of dioxin-dumping. What does SHE get out of this?"

(Or SOMETHING like that.)
We could have MANY FReeper-ettes dressed as the "Hollywood Hookers" union, in a parody of other union protests.

A picture of a Cadillac Esplanade with the words "SUV for the Working Class" would be nice since the DNC Chairman drives one with DNC-1 on the plate.

Good ones!

Picture of Oscar/Emmy and the actors who are on this list that have won one standing on top of it looking down on rest of us....

Caption it: Will Work For Millions....And A Statue!

Kinda captures their stupidity and how out-of-touch they seem to be....

Or how about a picture with Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand and Monica Lewinsky with the questions: "Which one is meathead?" and "Which one gives meathead?"

A couple more: In California a picture of Sreisand next to Davis with the caption "Dumb and Dumber." Or perhaps a picture of Boxer, Streisand, Davis and a box of rocks - "Triplets separated at birth." In Florida you could have a picture of Reno and Gore with "Dude! Who Stole My Election?"

Thanks for the GREAT ideas!
While I am ALWAYS happy to bash RATs in general, and left-wing airhead entertainers in particular, what I would like to keep as the focus of THIS FReep: GRAY DAVIS and his bribe-taking.
How about some MORE ideas about Hollywood elites and the prostitute/hooker/bribes theme?

Maybe something like Nixon's "I am not a crook?

The main villian after Davis is Streisand - raising $4 million for these bums.

What do most people associate with Babs?

"Peole who need people"
"The way we were"
The Rose
Funny Girl
Yentyl
The Owl and the Pussycat

Add in the images that they try to hoist on the Republicans:
FAT CAT
money-grubber
greed
Finally, tie in Gray Davis - who never met a bribe he did not like...

WHATEVER help that you guys can give is WONDERFUL!!!

"FAT CAT. money-grubber. greed"

Now if that alone doesn't capture the essence of Hillary I don't know what will!

Well, there are various themes you could use about the dioxin scandal, where Davis Bureaucrats allowed more dioxin to be poured into San Francisco bay. You could have a young boy or girl at a beach asking "Governor Davis, can we have dioxin in our water too?" Or maybe Flipper, or Free Willie happily swimming in a sea of dioxin with Governor Davis considering what other chemicals can be dumped into the coastal waters for a campaign donation. Perhaps the rats at this function might consider that if they are eating "fresh" fish that it might contain dioxin - courtesy to Tammany Davis. Maybe a picture of a fish with "A little pollution is good for a soul - or a flounder." A picture of an owl with the caption, "Give a hoot, bribe to pollute."

Whatever you do, if it includes these two, it should incorporate a REALLY HUGE NOSE.
