Will the mullet get its own vote?

Hey! It's the Mulletmobile!

Great License Plate, Ted.
Although even though the plate says California, the way he is angled at the stop sign says that he must have, or at least be sent, a Florida drivers license.

Mullets For Barry

WOOO HOOOO!! watch out Hillary & ObackBamawama!

why aren't there any scantily clad ladies present?
Posted by: crossgirl | March 30, 2007 at 10:28 AM
I gave up scantily clad ladies for lent.
The Field Coordinator
(Note to self: After Easter look into the godaddy.com lovelies)

Why isn't Ted out coordinating fields?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 30, 2007 at 10:35 AM
ok, ted...what about scantily clad guys...ya know for us women voters ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 10:35 AM
yeah! despite appearances to the contrary, i have not given up men for lent. i repeat, i have not given up men!
Posted by: crossgirl | March 30, 2007 at 10:42 AM
*stands in the 'not given up men for lent' corner with crossgirl*
I have, however, given up chocolate so I may be a little cranky...
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Nice plates, Ted! ('tho I'm with Crossy re: the need for scantily clad gals to complete the campaign image)
Posted by: russellmc | March 30, 2007 at 11:07 AM
Dave, are you sure he's "at the wheel"? I think you meant "at the bottle".
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | March 30, 2007 at 11:10 AM
You guys see the Mullet? I can't see the Mullet. I see a big car with a California license plate, and a big frown, but no Mullet. Where's the Mullet?
Posted by: Schadeboy | March 30, 2007 at 11:36 AM
There's squirrel poop on the hood ALREADY?
Posted by: qsman | March 30, 2007 at 11:42 AM
ted needs to change his email address to reflect the c current election year...just sayin'

Siouxie ... "men" might alleviate some of that crankiness ... merely sayin' ...
(and ... BTW, Siouxie ... my Fighting Sioux -- your namesakes -- are in the Frozen Four -- the NCAA Hockey Championships !!! YAY SIOUX! YAY SIOUXIE!!!)
Posted by: O'theU(manity) | March 30, 2007 at 11:51 AM
OtheU,
YAY ME & the SIOUX!!
and good point. and there's less calories involved.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 11:55 AM
"Siouxsie Sioux and the Frozen Four" wba KILLER name for my next punk band!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Siouxie - I just want to know if that's with four men, or TWO, iykwim. ;)
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 12:12 PM
... um ... Siouxie ... merely FYI ... a hockey team has six men* "on ice" at one time ... unless there's a "penalty" of course ... and if they "pull" the "goalie" then there are six of them "on the attack" ...
Merely sayin' ...
(*unless, of course, it's a women's team ... NTTAWWT ...)
Posted by: O'theU(manity) | March 30, 2007 at 12:15 PM
You know, from this angle you can't see the mullet. And with the glare you can't see his left ear either ... probably doesn't have one of those either...
Posted by: kibby F5™ | March 30, 2007 at 12:35 PM
... mebbe that's why Van Gogh had a mullet?
Posted by: O'theU(manity) | March 30, 2007 at 12:38 PM
I put one of those on my car, and scantily clad women kept coming up to me and saying:
"You call yours Barry?"
Then they would offer me enhancement patches and leave.
I'm guessing that's helping Dave get votes.
Posted by: Christobol | March 30, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Ted has nicer headlights than Paris.

Posted by: ShyJan | March 30, 2007 at 12:53 PM
I just conducted a scientific poll of 100 people who have phones which they answered, and of those who responded with language that can get past your bot, 46% said they would vote for Dave Barry if he was, in fact, the only name on the ballot for President, yes, of the United States.
However, when I revealed that his platform consists almost entirely of a promise to make Paris Hilton a permanent ambassador to Iraq, over 125% of respondents said they would vote for Dave, and some promised to vote several times.

Bring on the men in kilts!
Posted by: marfie | March 30, 2007 at 01:05 PM
Oh, marfie. Lovely idea.
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 01:22 PM
I haven't given up men for Lent either.
However, I'm beginning to have some very strong suspicions they must have given me up for Lent.
*sob*
Posted by: slyeyes | March 30, 2007 at 01:32 PM
*goes to the "men who've given us up for Lent" corner with slyeyes to commiserate*
Me, too. Here...gumball?
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 01:34 PM
I have only given up on one man for lent.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | March 30, 2007 at 01:39 PM
And you continue to make me so proud, Addicted!!!
you may just make it yet!
DDiva & OtheU - the more the merrier ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 01:49 PM
oh sly!! that explains it! i feel so much better now to know it's not me, it's just a lent thing.
can't wait for easter!!
Posted by: crossgirl | March 30, 2007 at 02:02 PM
*joins the given-up-men-for-Lent (many Lents ago) corner*
*hopes that he would also be welcome in the men-gave-us-up-for-Lent corner*
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | March 30, 2007 at 02:03 PM
whewwww...that is good news!
can we open up the blog bar and rejoice?? ya'll haven't giving up drinking right??
Chris, you're always welcome with the girls ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 02:08 PM
So THAT's what I gave up for Lent - Men. I knew I gave up something.
btw - I just found out that today is kilt day. I sent the link to judi, so hopefully we'll be celebrating soon. Until then.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Dave - we are just waiting for approval of the T-shirt and bumper sticker designs to really get things rolling!
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | March 30, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Nothing says Easter like a mojito, yes?
Posted by: marfie | March 30, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Oh Annie...that was yummmmy!!
*perk* *drool*

As to givin' up stuff fer Lent ... when our youngest (our son, after three girls ... which sorta surprised us a bit ...) wuz born on Feb. 20, it happened to be Ash Wednesday ... so of course, MB(RH?) gave up bein' pregnant for Lent ...
Posted by: O'theU(manity) | March 30, 2007 at 02:37 PM
OK, scantily clad gals for the male voters and
guys wearing these with "Dave Barry 2008" embroidered down the trunk
warning - it's for the ladies (mainly, I guess nttawwt)
Posted by: russellmc | March 30, 2007 at 03:35 PM
for the blogettes
Posted by: russellmc | March 30, 2007 at 03:37 PM
russell, thank you!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 03:50 PM
I hope this tides you ladies over until the Easter Bunny comes-a-hoppin'.
Posted by: random thunking | March 30, 2007 at 03:51 PM
and thank YOU, random!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 04:06 PM
Q: Mr. McTavish, traditionally what is worn under a kilt?
A: Everything is as good as new, lasse.
Glad you enjoyed it Sioux.
Posted by: random thunking | March 30, 2007 at 04:18 PM
i cant be sure that its ted!! pic is so small. how bout a bigger shot of the driver... i mean, it could be an imposter infiltrating your campaign, dave. we dont want that.
Posted by: queensbee | March 30, 2007 at 04:19 PM
Yeah, queensbee ... the early comments doubting that it was Ted have gone unanswered - we need real proof, like a mirror showing the famous mullet. Which of course he always denied he has. But it was in the photos.
So turnabout is fair play: let's let all of us see what he can't see himself, if only because he thought he put it behind him ... Can "Trust, but verify" be the campaign slogan of '08, or might it already be taken by some other Californian? ...
Posted by: Avon | March 30, 2007 at 04:27 PM
russell - funny, he doesn't look republican.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2007 at 05:52 PM
I gave up my new year's resolutions for lent.
