"Loose Lips Deserve Pink Slips. Fire Karl Rove."

download poster here: political.moveon.org

Dear MoveOn member,

It has been a busy week in the Karl Rove CIA Leak scandal. Columnist Robert Novak was suspended by CNN after he swore profanely and then walked out of the CNN studio rather than answer questions about his role in the CIA leak.1 The American Prospect reports that jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller met with Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, and discussed Valerie Plame six days before Plame's undercover status with the CIA was revealed.2

Finally, after a week and 17,740 entries from MoveOn members we have a winner in the Fire Karl Rove Slogan Contest. And the winner is...

"Loose Lips Deserve Pink Slips. Fire Karl Rove."

Now that we have the slogan we need to get it out there. We've designed a downloadable poster from the winning slogan. You can print it easily on a desktop printer and it's perfect to place in your window, hang on your refrigerator, and tack on a bulletin board at home, work or in your community, in a gym locker or anywhere else that makes sense. Take a minute right now to click on the link below to download and print the poster (you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader).

political.moveon.org

After you've prominently hung up your photo send us a digital photo of where you've displayed it or a photo of you or your friends holding the poster. Just e-mail it as an attachment to:

rovephotos@moveon.org

Use the subject line to give your photo a title, and the body of the email to give it a description. Please include the location (venue, city, state) in the description.

The author of the winning slogan is Mary Thornquist, a MoveOn member from Catonsville, Maryland. Mary has been a MoveOn member since 1998. We asked her to write about the slogan and the Karl Rove CIA Leak scandal. Here is what she wrote.

That's the spirit, bro. Did you burn extras, or is this your copy? Did you show it to your girls and to Red?

I may take you up on "the end of suburbia", if netflix doesn't list an availability date soon. I have it in my "saved" folder, so hopefully it's nearing release.

Have you ever seen the movie "The Yes Men"? ( netflix.com ) I highly recommend it. I first heard about them when they pranked BBC into thinking they were part of the brass at Union Carbide, this explains that "identity correction" assignment:
democracynow.org

Anyway, they made a movie in 2004 of some of the other successful pranks. It is so damn funny, I still laugh thinking about it... I don't want to give it away if you've not seen it so I'll stop.

It's available on netflix and who knows where else. I can get you a copy as well, if it interests you.

Here is a very long, but well documented and important article on the oil-USD-war connection ratical.org It is not purely about Iraq. It seems that next year may hold the seed for more fireworks.
