Because nothing says "Classy!" more
than crass commercialism.

Mousepads? What about the kneepads?

Mmmm...leather announcements. Kinky.

I wonder what the Red Bull shop is going to do with all the leftover inventory.









Readers of the Limbaugh letter will get mousepads as their special gift for resubscribing.

You know that giant sinkhole in Texas the media keeps reporting on?
Landfill.

I keep waiting for the pictures of the far more appropriate commemorative shot-glasses.

I see this fiesta has overlooked the many Iraqi war veterans, No souvenir artificial limbs. So sad.

Molly Ivins was right. That family is just white trash with money.

Are those rubbers in the jar next to the mouse pad? Commemorative Bush Condoms?

Mugen_Cakes, Maybe they are just repackaged from the "party girl" years.

It's sad as hell that there's actually a market for this trash.

It's a day of stumbling smirking slurring pride, my fellow Americans, as the First Family shows the world exactly the kind of style and grace that has made them the envy and exemplar of corrupt decadent deadly reptilian fake aristocrats everywhere.

From People's write up of the wedding rehearsal dinner:
One woman who said she spotted Jenna earlier in the day was nervous about giving her name to a reporter, given all the Bush family's insistence upon keeping the nuptial celebrations private.
"Jenna looked at us ... she was SO close, and smiled that beautiful smile," the woman told PEOPLE. "We wanted to tell her congratulations, but we were afraid the Secret Service would come after us or something."

Who would buy this crap?

Who would buy this crap?
The lady who was seated next to me on the train and excitedly telling someone on her cell phone that she had "just bought the book written by Jenna and Laura Bush". It was there on her lap.
I would have got up to leave, but there were no more seats on the train.
So I pulled out my Backwards Bush countdown keychain and pondered that for a while. Just so she could see it.

A Delft cowboy hat? Well, they got that part right.

Heard the owner of gift shop on CNN interview saying how busy she is and how her inventory is depleted. If didn't appear to be when they were showing all the tackiness. What saps those people in Crawford are thinking George and Laura like and respect them. Ha!
It's Dallas and the high life for the Bush family in 2009. Watch the for sale sign go up on the brush farm.

Charles and Di had tea towels.
Jenna has condoms.
Somehow, it fits.....

How's that Texas sinkhole doing? Has it made it to Prairie Chapel yet?
Posted by: TeddySanFran | May 10, 2008 at 06:07 PM
I think "leather announcements" with a lovely barbed wire edging motif is seriously SRSLY kinky.
Nothin' sez "class" like that.

Before the Cross she wears a dress of white
To show she kept her promise and was good;
Her gown and veil, bleached to a dazzling bright,
Match every wedding member's robe and hood;
And then the Cross, though made of stone, not wood,
They manage to set fire to it, and well -
For limestone, as we know, will burn in hell.
