Last night Stephen Colbert had a segment with Frank Luntz about what to do with his PAC, and how to use language to manipulate people. Colbert has been trying to figure out what his PAC ought to stand for, and he used some computer program to find the words most used in people’s suggestions, which ended up with the idea that corporations are people. But I think there’s a better thing for his PAC to be about, and that’s revisionist history.
So the Revisionist History PAC could run ads about whichever candidate they wanted to get re-elected, and especially for ones with awful records, they could make commercials claiming that they did very different things than they really did, and that their actions had very different (read: better) effects on the country than they actually did. That’s what all candidates really do in real life anyway (lie about their records, that is), so it would be a perfect thing to make fun of!
So using this idea, the PAC would be called: “The Revisionist History PAC”, and their slogan would be: “The Revisionist History PAC: Making a better yesterday today for tomorrow!”
