A Gas Bag for a Gas Bag

The Paul Bearers never run out of creative or even crazy ways to push their man Ron Paul for president. For a little comic relief, how about ronpaulblimp.com, an online effort to raise $350,000 to fly a blimp promoting Ron Paul all over the country. Look how they describe it:

Imagine..the mainstream media is mesmerized as the image of the Ron Paul blimp is shown to tens of millions of Americans throughout the day (and throughout the month). Wolf Blizter, stunned and as if in a trance, repeats the words "Amazing, Amazing".

As GPS co-ordinates stream to the website a map shows the Ron Paul blimp's location in real time. The local Television stations broadcast it's every move. The curious flock together and make a trip see history in the making. Emails with pictures are sent, then forwarded, then forwarded again. Youtube videos go viral and reach tens of millions of views. Ron Paul becomes the first presidential candidate in history to have his very own blimp. The PR stunt generates millions upon millions of dollars worth in free publicity, and captures the imagination of America.

Yeah... that's the way it will happen. The media will be transfixed by a sight they can see over any NFL football game in the country.

As of the time I checked the site almost $60,000 had been pledged. The Paul Bearers definitely have more money than common sense.
