Sounds doable to me!

2. count me in -

If DU can send thousands of roses to Helen, we can certainly fly a blimp and promote the shit out of the event. Should be a freaking hoot.

[johnaries]

3. Especially if Helderheid takes the reins!

Helderheid ROCKS!

Can we name it the GWB Hindenburg? Should we fly it in front of Comedy Central studios, or in DC? I vote for DC.

[helderheid]

19. You're sweet! I can't take this one on though - someone else is going to

have to. It would be nice if this could be DU sponsored and money raised via DU's account. :)

[helderheid]

26. Why not both NYC and DC?

[Occulus]

4. DU could raise the money for rent for a day IN a day.

Or less. Remember the parking ticket?

[helderheid]

36. Hell, it only took a couple days to raise over $2000 - we could easily

do that with this! But we need to do it ASAP - I am really hoping the mods will allow for DU to take the donations as I cannot this time.

[bdamomma]

48. yea, let it fly over DC

that would be interesting wouldn't it???

[incapsulated]

6. That's cheaper than I expected

But you would want it to be where he would see it.

?

[Wonk]

13. Don't forget to check local air traffic regulations first for blimps.

Not trying to burst your bubble, so to speak. Colbert rocked :D

[GregD]

17. Wonk!

Where ya been bud? How ya be?

[Justpat]

16. I'd love to be part of this. Count me in. n/t

[helderheid]

21. you are FAST!!

38. Count me in***

5. Great idea. Maybe DU could form a pool in order to fund it.

With thousands of members, it wouldn't be terribly difficult.

Perhaps we could have it crash in some especially appropriate location, too.

[symbolman]

47. Pennsyvania?

I know, bad joke, but it IS about Bush in the end, isn't it? :)

[helderheid]

7. I gotta go to bed, If you like the idea, please recommend :)

[WiseButAngrySara]

8. It's as great an idea as the roses for Helen! Sleep tight!

:kick: and R!

[goclark]

45. Recommended and Count me in~

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could fly it over the Rose Garden during a Press Conference on the WH lawn?

[johnaries]

9. The M$M wants Colbert's speech to go down the memory hole,

this is a great way to promote it and get the message out. Recommended!

[joeunderdog]

42. Will they BURY Colbert?

I suspect that guests may boycott or think better of coming on and exposing themselves to such a balls-to-the-wall comedian.

I worry that there may be a "correction" in store for him.

[American Tragedy]

10. Kicked and recommended.

Let's get their fucking attention for real.

[Ecumenist]

11. I think it's a GREAT IDEA...

How'll they ignore that? Too many people will be talking about it to completely ignore and keep it out of the American mind.

[helderheid]

27. I'm thinking this may be the only way to get around the MSM

[Ecumenist]

29. Exactly. they'll have a hard time suppressing

this information. It'll be to large and public for block out.

[helderheid]

30. we may want to use blimps for now on - the Hindenburg comment

inspired this but this may be our cheap billboard for any message!

[Ecumenist]

32. AMEN

[helderheid]

33. :D

[Us vs Them]

12. Y'all this is a great idea, but it needs to happen like tomorrow

If it's going to mean anything.

[helderheid]

14. you're right about that!

[julialnyc]

15. Where can I send money to?

I'd be happy to donate! is there a paypal account?

[wicket]

18. I love this idea!!!!

:kick:

[mopinko]

20. let's rent a blimp to impeach

and support the brave legislators in illinois and california that are risking their political lives to get impeachment resolutions passed.

[johnaries]

22. Kick!

[helderheid]

23. I gotta run - will someone PM Skinner and see what he thinks?

[bettyellen]

24. done. i asked him to get in touch with you.

very funny idea. tks for that!

[helderheid]

25. thanks - nothing yet!

[linazelle]

28. And what if we could set it on fire and let it crash and burn?

:crazy: I'm just keepin' it real. Real crazy that is....

Don't mind me. I haven't taken my meds today. :silly:

[Proud2BAmurkin]

34. Hi Sweets

Once again thanks SO MUCH for all you did for Helen, our National Treasure, and in response to your PM, YOU GOT ME, if you want me, it would be MY PLEASURE to work with you on the BushinBarb Colbert Blimp - needs lot of eagles..

Anything I can do, let me know, if you're interested and other folks, I'll also contact the site owners I know and see who'd get behind this..

Colbert will die laughing I bet, and it would be a wonderful way to thank him for Sharing the BLAZING TRUTH with all of us, and like a MAN with that WUSS sitting right there next to him, Colbert is the equivalent of Charlie Chaplin politically, if anyone hasn't see the speech he gave in his fake Hitler film at the end, look for it, I have it somewhere, maybe I'll post it - it was BANNED for a long time, called Socialist, but it WILL bring you to tears.

You GOT ME, I'm in, thanks for asking, and all you do! :)

[helderheid]

35. OH THANK YOU!!!

:hug:

I really would like this to be an official DU event with money raised via DU - I hope the mods will think that it is a FABULOUS idea!

Bless your heart and thanks!

[symbolman]

39. Me too!

I've always supported the DU, whenever I get a chance on TV or radio appearances I bring up the DU, sites like Atrios, Bartcop, Buzzflash, etc.

But the DU has for a long time been a liberal "think tank" of sorts and a great resource, there are many very credible folks here who have served their country too and know when BS is BS and want to fight back, as we have at Takebackthemedia.com since we joined so long ago.

I'm THERE :)

[helderheid]

41. think we can get them on board?

[symbolman]

46. Probly need some more research

got to present folks with something they can get behind, I'm not that good at organizing, like you are, all I do is pass tidbits around when something very cool comes my way, and this is pretty damn cool..

Couldn't get much better unless we put the message on the face of the MOON :)

[bettyellen]

37. kick for the sheer hilarity of this idea.

c'mon skinner, we don;t want to plead and whine like kids.

[helderheid]

40. Bless ya Bettyellen!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

43. KICK

:kick:

[rumpel]

44. love it! too bad airspace is restricted, you know where

k&r

[Guaranteed]

49. Prolly wouldn't work in NYC, but if we could find out the city

he lives in, we could set it up on his commuting route...

[bettyellen]

50. Montclair. NJ

we have blimps over the hudson river all the time they'd be visible in ny and montclair

[bettyellen]

51. skinner says it's fine w/ him. who's setting up the paypal?

;)
