Ben Cohen says it's an acceptable way to point out what he calls the president's lies. "In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar,"' Cohen said in a telephone interview before arriving in Spokane, the next stop on the Pants on Fire Tour.Cohen has founded a new political activist website, TrueMajority.org, which he says has 50,000 members. The new site, and Cohen's efforts are "not related" to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream."We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?"' Cohen said.
The "PantsOnFire-Mobile" is a trailer pulled behind a car. The Bush character wears a flight suit with the words "Mission Accomplished" emblazoned on the back, a reference to the president's declaration aboard the deck of an aircraft carrier that major hostilities had ended in Iraq. An electronic ticker on the front displays what Cohen says are Bush's lies.
The head is a rotating cylinder with various Bush facial expressions.
I'll stick with other brands of ice cream, thank you very much.
