Mousepads? What about the kneepads?
Mmmm...leather announcements. Kinky.

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

What? No commemorative beer bong?
Posted by: queek | May 10, 2008 at 10:17 AM
they sold out the beer bong....
wedding gifts, I suspect.

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.
Posted by: apm | May 10, 2008 at 11:31 AM
Are those rubbers in the jar next to the mouse pad? Commemorative Bush Condoms?
Posted by: Mungen_Cakes | May 10, 2008 at 12:33 PM
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?
Posted by: S.L. | May 10, 2008 at 02:04 PM
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.
Posted by: Veritas78 | May 10, 2008 at 05:18 PM
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.

(warning RANT coming!)
WHY IN THE FUCKING FUCK DO THEY GET PRIVACY!??!?! We 'peons paying their salary' don't get that much regard in our daily lives. (waves to dumbass NSA operative lurking - waves the middle finger that is...or is THAT illegal now, too???? I don't care - fuck you you fucking fucks! Now, gimme my country back!)
They (the Royal Tanenbushes) get to carry on w/everyday life w/no rules to follow - aside from their chosen duty to follow the instructions on the bottles of Xanax/Vicodin and the Mr. Boston's Bartender Guide. "They" get to have a 'private' wedding for one of the lint twins (dammit I miss you Xristi!!!), replete w/limestone crosses, cedar brush (oops, no I think chimpy actually got to it in time), flowy dresses and cheap as hell folk-crap (it's not even artsy enough to qualify as folk-art, y'see?)favors and souvenirs for sale!?!?! SOUVENIRS? Fuck me sideways with a potato peeler - SOUVENIRS!!!! Like she's some kind of royal!??!?
What the hell's next? "Baby Bump" watch until January 2009?!?!? GAH!!!!!!!
Meanwhile our soldiers keep dying or getting maimed for NO good reason in an illegal war in a country that didn't even do anything to us. Our economy keeps sucking at the bone dry teat of disaster. Fuel costs are on the verge of causing riots/wider strikes! Which I think is what our (not so) dear leaders are going for...! THEN - Unca Dick, yes, our very own Darth Cheney will be ever so happy that he can give Dickless the nod to declare Martial Law and all this bluster and ballyhoo over candidates will seem like so much gossip column nonsense.
Music note - all this crap about Jenna's nuptials and the way the so-called press isn't covering the real issues (99.9% anyway), brings to mind the older Depeche Mode song "Princess Di is wearing a new dress" - it's not dissing on her, in case anyone hasn't heard it - check it out. And that was what...back in '89 or '90...
Congratulations Jenna and Henry - I'll be waiting to hear about Henry's discovery in a fur pile at the next global Furries and Plushies convention or something similar.
Peace or something like it,
Elspeth

Undoubtedly Jenna and Henry have both preserved their virginity until this sacred day... right?
Posted by: Capital J | May 10, 2008 at 08:04 PM

Red Bull gives you ... crap.
Posted by: shpx.ohfu | May 11, 2008 at 09:21 AM
shpx - be fair - they don't 'give' it away, you have to pay for it... ;) Granted like D'Cap said, it will be being 'given' away and even then the .01 reserve will not be met.
I wonder, were the tchochtkes (sp?) actually made by Texas peeps? Or were they sent off and made in China? I would be 'askeered' of lead in the glazing.
