Protesters take to streets with fists in the air, tongues in cheek Cleveland Plain Dealer
One of the gowned women held up a placard playing off the old 'Where's the beef' slogan: 'Kerry/Edwards: Where's the greed?' If anyone was still confused about the nature of the protest, another 'billionaire' displayed a 'Bush/Cheney '04' sign - official-looking except for the words 'Four more wars.' Then they assembled next to the sidewalk and sang 'Georgie Made the Size of My Wallet Grow,' to the tune of 'Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho.'
'Save your applause,' the guy in the yachting cap said, 'for another tax cut for the wealthiest 1 percent.'
Street theater is back in politics - but this time without the yuppie scruffiness the term once connoted, and this time with a sort of self-heckling irony.------------------------------------------- posted 7:26 AM :: reference link ::
