If we have, like, ten billionaire DUer's...
Maybe DU should pitch in and buy CNN back for Ted.

And for America.

6. Is Turner "buddy-buddy" with Soros?
I hear he has a few billion to spare if it will get Bush booted this November.

10. I've a deal working with some Nigerians
They need to move a few billions around and I get a percentage for letting them use my bank account, credit cards and driver's license. Pretty sweet, huh.
I'll let you know when I get my check.

16. Yeah, I got a similar deal with some Liberians.
They sent me an email weeks ago, and I send them all my information. I only had to send them my bank account and pin #s, and they said they'd take care of it! I'm pretty sure my check is in the mail! :D

18. My favorites...
"When the Democratically Elected Liberal Government came into power, my father (who is always the worst dictator in the world) had to go into hiding, leaving us with no way to move the Two Hundred Twenty Seven Billion Six Hundred Forty-Nine Million...into a safe bank account in Switzerland."

Yeah, I'll help you...give me your address, asshole, and I'll call the Democratically Elected Liberal Government and tell them where to go to get your sorry ass and the sorry asses of your mother, third cousin and fifteen wives. Maybe they'll give me a reward for turning you in. Which is the only way I'd ever get any money out of dealing with the likes of you.

19. More like "liberate Ben Stein's conservative money"
I know Ben Stein is a hardcore conservative, but I liked that show. At least when Jimmy Kimmel was on it.
