Joker: If DFO Sold Out To Political PR

Joker: We all know DFO would rather die than work in public relations. But I believe if somebody added enough zeroes to the check he would join Popkey in the blink of an eye. If money were not an issue, here are the politicians that he could work for. I’ve also added priority action steps for DFO to be successful.

  • Bob Nonini – Take away Cathyanne’s email account (easier said than done) and make Bob read, “How to win friends and influence people.”
  • Anne Nesse – Driving Mrs Nesse! Anne has trouble getting around Kootenai County to talk to voters. DFO has a map and he’s not afraid to use it.
  • Mike Kennedy – Get him to register as a Democrat.
  • Kathy Sims – Hire OTV for a fashion makeover. The 1957 hair do and outfit need updating.
  • Mary Souza – DFO is the official tape recorder confiscator. He can also connect the dots and schedule a PR coup by getting Mayor Bloem on her online radio show.
  • Steve Adams – Take away his pocket U.S. constitution. Then actually hire a civics professor to explain how the United States government works.
  • Cheryl Stransky – Get her on the back of a milk cartoon stat! People need to recognize her.
  • Mike Jorgenson -- Schedule Jorgenson on the senior MMA tour. Younger people just love brutal cage fights.
  • Vito Barbieri – Convince Vito that he needs to run against Raul Labrador. This will be a classic PR battle of wills between Popkey and DFO. Who will win this showdown? Everyone!
