Z, > Roger Stone is a mainstream Republican operative. I'll tell you this. If that turns out to be a real 527 supported by an actual "mainstream Republican operative," that will pretty much ensure Hillary's victory in November 2008. Tenchusatsu

Roger stone is not he's a two bit prankster. No joking Two organizations with slightly different names are united in their opposition to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign. And now they may be united in a trademark dispute. Citizens United, the conservative group headed by David Bossie that just released its sixth documentary, "Hillary: The Movie," has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a so-called "527" political group organized by ,legendary Republican prankster Roger Stone. "Citizens United Not Timid" says its goal is "to educate the American public about what Hillary Clinton really is," and its Web site (CitizensUnited NotTimid.org) appears to have no other purpose than selling a $25 T-shirt. The 527's treasurer and chairman, Jeff "Noodles" Jones, is actually a Miami bartender and disc jockey, the Weekly Standard reports. Mr. Bossie's group is not amused by Mr. Stone's latest joke. "Although your organization was formed just days ago, it is clear from your actions and the publicity that your group has sought out and received that Citizens United's name was deliberately appropriated in order to capitalize on the release of the documentary film 'Hillary: The Movie,' " writes Michael Boos, Citizens United's general counsel, in a letter to Mr. Jones sent yesterday and obtained by The Washington Times. "Accordingly, Citizens United hereby demands that you immediately cease and desist from this infringement. ... Should you fail to comply with this demand forthwith, Citizens United will have no choice but to avail itself to the remedies of the Lantham Act," which deals with trademark infringement.
