There are no original ideas

Upon seeing the Republican Party has put up a website depicting Rep. Dina Titus as a puppet of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one Nevada Democrat sent over a tongue-in-cheek complaint to point out that “we had the puppet motif first!”

During the 2006 House race for the 3rd Congressional District seat, Democrats erected a website on behalf of challenger Tessa Hafen to showcase a “Porter the Puppet” cartoon tying Republican Rep. Jon Porter to President George W. Bush.

Alas the website, www.porterthepuppet.com, only shows a dead link. But confirmation of the site comes within this report in the Review-Journal at the time.

“The Republicans need to come up with their own ideas!” the Dem said.
