Have we done anything for Colbert, like Helen Thomas? Can we?

[Faygo Kid]

I know I would contribute. Not sure Stephen would want flowers, but that's cool. Still, can we be more creative? I have for a long time wanted a Stephen Colbert bobblehead doll for my desk. But, nothing shows up. Can we commission one? That we can purchase? Just a thought. I am open to anything. I think a 6-pack of Blatz Beer and an Old French Whore from Saturday Night Live 10 years ago is a good suggestion, but perhaps not the best. Yours?

1. Oh, let's not, that would blow his cover... push him out of character. eom

[U4ikLefty]

2. I dunno, but he deserves something for his ballsy shot at the chimp.

He has a great sarcasm that I just love...go Colbert!!!

BTW, lemme know & I'll donate!!!

[cap]

3. how about a petition to the MSM to cover the White House

dinner.... include the thousands who have signed the thank you steven colbert website

[otohara]

6. Shame Doesn't Work, Criticism Doesn't Work, E-mails, Petitions

the shameless suck-up press Colbert skewered aren't going to change unless Ted Turner buys back CNN, and purchases all of the rest em too!

[U4ikLefty]

11. Good Idea...besides the audience's doubts, I think any effort would

be a good idea on moving the MSM towards skewering the Bu$h Admin.

Let me know & I'll sign it...along with 48 of my "activist" friends.

Peace

edit: spelling

[The Wielding Truth]

24. Petition of support and appreciation. What is the site address?

[otohara]

4. He & His Staff of 80 Would Love Some Roses

stick with what works and might get you some press coverage.

12. Skinner: How did we make it happen for Helen? What do we need to do?

You guys are the only ones who can collect donations; and it's OK - in fact more than OK, what we want to do - to use it too for donations to DU. I have no problem with "an extra $10 for the new stylin' and profilin' DU home page," voluntary, with members' donation for Stephen. (Bet it would help, and strike now, while the iron is hot). Still want a bobblehead doll, though. (Not you, Skinner; Stephen. Sorry!).

5. There was a thread here the other day

about sending up a banner by plane in the sky.


Like "A Ribbon In The
Sky For Colbert."

[otohara]

8. There Was Talk of Flags,

personally I like the roses idea. He'd give them to his staff to enjoy

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. There's a local garden ornament place

where I saw a giant bald eagle statue.

I have to say I was tempted.

[redwitch]

9. I was thinking of bumper stickers

Someone posted here the other day that "the truthiness hurts". I would put that on my car!

[U4ikLefty]

15. Ooooh that's a good one for a bumpersitcker!!! n/t

[ShortnFiery]

16. I would buy that bumper siticker! Two even. :-) n/t

[redwitch]

18. Cheap and easy (just like Colbert!)

I would buy them to give as gifts. I think Stephen would enjoy seeing them on bumpers everywhere- he would want some too!

[blondeatlast]

17. Now I like that idea! Would there be copyright problems...

I'm only half-joking, as I've done some professional writing myself and take the issue seriously.

[JuniperLea]

10. I thought we should

Make a big donation (money that would have been spent on flowers) to Habitat for Humanity... in Colbert's name... and a big card sent to his office for splash:)

Edited to say: Donation earmarked for Katrina survivors... just another jab at W... :)

[w8liftinglady]

13. that is an excellent suggestion-I'd contribute

[katty]

22. great idea

[SoCalDem]

14. Stuffed bears.. He has a running "thing" about bears

:) He would "get it"

[bmcatt]

19. Talk about a threatdown!

Can you imagine how much he could do with a conference room full of stuffed teddy bears? Talk about "And, the number one threat: it's still... BEARS!"

[Faygo Kid]

25. I like it! The right suggestion. Maybe 500 bears at $5 apiece

And a matching gift to DU. Perfect! Surround this man with hibernation love. How do we do it? And what happens to those bears who only want a picanic basket (Mr. Ranger sir)?

[NYCGirl]

20. As I posted the other day — go see his MOVIE. I think he'd appreciate that

[AngryAmish]

21. Nobody liked my "Tacos for Feingold" idea

I'll just shut up.

[Beaverhausen]

23. How about the American Eagle Foundation?

http://www.eagles.org/index.html

I don't know anything about them though...I just googled.

We could donate to the San Francisco Zoo where Stephen Jr. lives.

check this out:

scroll down a bit- it mentions Stephen Jr!!!

26. Cigars? Chocolate? Whisky?

:)

27. A mesquite-powered grill, some sunblock 50 and a toy aircraft carrier.
