Ted Rall for February 17, 2000
Transcript:
He's finally here: A new kind of candidate for a new millenium! At last! A candidate who agrees with the vast majority of Americans that unregulated free trade hurts most workers. (Man: The only thing free about "free trade" is the salaries they want to pay you!) He's an ordinary guy who's married to his first wife, doesn't discuss his religion and who never golfs. (Man: I like to play pool, drink beer and listen to korn.) Socially liberal and fascally conservative, he'll clamp down on polluters and encourage economic growth while reducing income disparity. (If you own an SUV you will love pollution- so we'll dump toxic waste on your lawn!) Join the campaign that doesn't accept corporate cash- or meet with corporate executives... join the crusade that's about you, the people! (Man: I don't work for your company... I work for America!) Unfortunately, we haven't gotten past the silhouette stage. (Woman: He's given me new hope for politics) (Man: I might even vote now!)
