March 2004 brought us a unique failure from the brilliant strategists at Bush-Cheney HQ. For a few short days, we “lefties” (as they call us) ran wild on the Bush-Cheney 04 Web site, taking advantage of THE SLOGANATOR. The pitch was this – come to the site to customize a campaign poster with a slogan of your choosing. Of course some words were blocked – like penis, poo-poo, Hitler and "Prince of Darkness" (among others, I’m sure). But, that didn’t stop us from having a little fun. See the delightful reunion here.
Oh, and, if you weren’t out on the leftie playground back in March, the end of the story is that Bush-Cheney shut down the Sloganator, claiming “pranksters” were using it to “mock the Republican ticket.” Apparently they were hoping only little old church ladies would use the nifty online tool – or maybe they really think we like them. Nah.
