GOP rallies to stop Mickey Mouse from voting.
There's a sustained effort by the GOP to prevent fictional characters from voting. Their accusation is that ACORN is allowing some of the most beloved one-dimensional figures to fill out voter registration forms--which means that when Mickey Mouse, for example, shows up on November 4th to vote, his name will be on the rolls and he won't be turned away.
"What we're talking about is widespread voter fraud, says one top GOP official, adding "this is how the Democrats are going to steal the election".
But not everyone agrees. "If this isn't voter disenfranchisement, what is?" said Fred Flinstone, adding "what kind of example does this set for Bamm Bamm?"
The GOP charges that in some cases, there are twenty even thirty voter registration cards that list the exact same person. It's alleged that Marilyn Monroe filled out not one, but 15 identical voter registration forms.
When asked if they feared that Marilyn Monroe, who died in 1962, would show up on November 4th and be allowed to vote in the 2008 election, one GOP official who chose to remain anonymous, said "you're missing the point, the point is that anyone and his brother could cast a vote in this election".
Groucho and Harpo Marx could not be reached for comment.

You know, I've been thinking that the Peanuts Gang must be running the McCain campaign. Maybe Lucy hates Mickey Mouse because has big ears. We all know how she likes to stir up trouble.
