Billionaires to protest doc


Billionaires for Bush
will protest a screening of the docu "Turn Left at Pennsylvania Ave." William K Dean's docu that pokes fun at Bush Administration policies.  The doc unspools at the Action on Film Festival.
Dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns, the Billionaires for Bush will raise their glasses for a champagne toast to President George W. Bush, honoring him for his lucrative policies that for eight years have continued to maximize profits for oil companies and munitions manufacturers.  The Billionaires are delighted that after five years of war oil prices and profits are at their historical highest levels.

Billionaire corporate media takeover specialist Felonius Ax states:  "It is outrageous that independent film makers think that they can get away with sending out information to the public that has not been vetted by our corporate think tanks."
