By Richard Sanders
(I also
scratched out a little graphic that was used on the coalition's "official"
buttons. See above.)
"One
group called the Boondoggle Players - Puppetry of Resistance, put on a skit
using puppets of the two leaders. In it, Reagan kept falling asleep and
calling Mulroney 'Muldoon,' 'Brad,' 'Ryan,' and 'Brendan.' The Reagan puppet
suggested that Gene Kelley, star of the 1952 movie "Singing in the Rain," be
named special ambassador for acid rain 'because he could help people be
happy, even in the rain.' 'It's not important whether you win or lose,' the
Reagan puppet told the Mulroney puppet, 'It's only important that we win.'"

What
did the Fox say? "In an effort to make the Summit Response what [Robert] Fox calls 'the sort of demonstration where someone who's never been to one will feel comfortable,' there will be magicians, hay wagon rides, balloons, face painting and larger-than-life puppets of Mulroney and Reagan. "The magicians will make Canadian sovereignty disappear before your eyes, and the wagons will be called 'Free Trade' on which you and your children can 'be taken for a ride.'" |
