Put on Them Thinkin' Caps

Randy over at Secular Franciscan brought up a good point.

At the end of all those damn political ads we hear "I'm (blank) and I approve this message".

OK - probably required by law, but damn....you'd think with all those creative minds (look at some of the stories they've come up with) someone would be able to think of some other way to say the same thing only different.

Then I realized what creative readers I have. Surely ya'll have some ideas!! Hmmm...let me see if I can come up with something.

For GWB: "I'm George Bush, and you can take that to the bank."
For Kerry: I'm John Kerry, and I agreed with this (before I disagreed)**ok, sorry I couldn't resist that!**

But you get the idea. Some other ways of saying that insipid, required phrase at the end of the commercials.

Leave suggestions in comments and I'll post my personal favorites at the end of the week.

For GWB: I'm George W. Bush and Dick Cheney approves this message.
For JFK: I'm John Kerry and Teresa approves this message.

Everyone knows who the power behind the throne(s) is by now. Right?

BTW, I'm sure Craig was speaking tongue-in-cheek when he mentioned the campaign finance law requirement.

"I'm John Kerry, and both Osama bin Laden and I approved of this message."

I'm John Kerry and yeah, this works. Sorta. Kinda, OK it's a go. Maybe.

I'm George Bush and my Magic 8 Ball approves this message.

"I'm Ted Kennedy, and what does a guy have to do around here to get a drink?"

I'm (blank) and do you think I'd be wasteing this much money on this lousey commercial if I didn't approve it?

GWB: I'm George and I had to have this explained to me very carefully and slowly before I approved this.

Kerry: I'm John Kerry and I agreed to agree this before I had seen it, but I reserve the right to disagree if George agrees with it.

"I'm John Kerry and my Lawyers approved this ad."

I'm Michael Moore, and I'd eat that.

I'm John Edwards, and my daddy told me that was true.

I'm Tah-ray-zah, and I'd shove that...in a ballot box.

I'm Dick Cheney, and I disclose this message.

I'm John Kerry, and this message is seared - SEARED - into my memory.
