Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers

[seemslikeadream]

"Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we can identify their corporate sponsors."



I read this suggestion on the tubes

[billyoc]

1. "Brought to you by Carl's Jr."

:rofl:

[PearliePoo2]

2. Damn...that's GOOD

extend this to the talking media heads too!

[Javaman]

3. The last thing I want to see is old men in jumpsuits. nt

[JackRiddler]

17. Actually, you wouldn't have to see them for very long...

They'd be voted out, or replaced by others who didn't need to wear the jumpsuit with the corporate patches.

Here's for an open information society!

[BlueJac]

4. I like it.....

A great idea.

[PearliePoo2]

5. Halliburton patches on their sleeves...

and "bought and paid for by GE" on their chests.

[cali]

6. My reps uniforms would be pretty blank.

[seemslikeadream]

7. and who might that be?

[cali]

9. Bernie Sanders, Pat Leahy and Peter Welch

[rrneck]

8. Lobbyists in the pit crew. nt

[hugo_from_TN]

10. You wouldn't be able to see any of Dodd's jumpsuit for all the patches.

[seemslikeadream]

12. and all republicans would not be able to stand up due to the weight of the patches

[seemslikeadream]

14. sorry to say it does not look good for Dodd

11. Damn good idea. n/t

[Octafish]

13. Got your prototype right here...

And a right friendly kick to the pants
of fascists, everywhere!

[Gregorian]

16. Thanks. I just searched high and low for that. I knew it would show up.

Now I can start my day. :)

[BadGimp]

15. I liked it then and I like it more now

eom

[Belial]

18. I had to recommend.. that is AWESOME!!!

[chill_wind]

19. I think some DUer's are working on it as we speak (photoshops maybe forthcoming soon).

This is from a couple days ago:

I agree. K & R

[Jennicut]

20. Wow. Mine would probably be near the worst...I live in CT

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

21. To suffice all of the uniforms would have to be XXXXXXXXL.

[mia]

22. How about a vest with badges...

Gotta find a badge for AIG.

[autorank]

23. k*r Tatoos!

[tavalon]

24. I've said that for years

Except I also said they would probably have to wear capes so all of their corporate sponsors would be represented.

[elehhhhna]

25. Dag! That idea is begging for a good photoshop!

[tabbycat31]

26. good idea

I wonder what my reps would look like

[KharmaTrain]

27. Sell Naming Rights To Federal Buildings

Look at the money that could be made. If Shitibank will pay $200 (with our tax money) for the new Mets Stadium, they sure could throw a couple mil (of our money again) to rename a post office or national guard armory. For a few bucks more, they can buy the rights to a military base or building in Washington. And for the high rollers...how about the Fed Ex Statue of Liberty or take the family out to the Schmuckers Yellowstone National Park.

28. !

:thumbsup:

[C......N......C]

29. I wish I could k&r this to the greatest.

They let us think we have representation. They get there and it is another whole game. Lets make a move to outlaw lobbyist.

[Marr]

30. I think that's a great idea. Let's see if we can get them to pass it into law.

Oh.

It would be funny though. I can see a man with a big Monsanto logo on his tie, talking into the camera about food safety. It'd help put things in perspective.

[AlinPA]

31. Great idea.
