Want to know why the Democrats aren't winning? It's a complete inability to engage in utter horseshit with a straight face:

The President’s surprise 2003 Thanksgiving Day visit to the U.S. troops in Iraq has inspired Talking Presidents to create a new action figure, Turkey Dinner Bush.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) November 17, 2004 -- The President’s surprise 2003 Thanksgiving Day visit to the U.S. troops in Iraq has inspired Talking Presidents to create a new action figure, Turkey Dinner Bush.

The secret Thanksgiving trip was the first visit by an American President to Iraq. The trip was said to have boosted the morale of troops serving in Iraq, as well as to have inspired patriotism among many Americans at home. Regardless of how the visit was viewed politically, it has become a piece of our nation’s history. It also inspired John Warnock of Talking Presidents to create a new President Bush action figure.

“It was such a cool, historic moment, I immediately wanted to make a doll to celebrate it,” said Warnock. “As I watched him carrying the turkey tray on television, I started picturing him in a display box.”

Turkey Dinner Bush is dressed in a replica of the Army Jacket, blue shirt and black pants he wore while visiting the troops, and comes complete with a turkey dinner tray similar to the one he carried last Thanksgiving Day. Unlike the company’s other dolls, Turkey Dinner Bush does not talk. This limited edition action figure is strictly limited to production of 5000 dolls.


For those of you who don't remember, last Thanksgiving Bush made a photo-op trip to Iraq, where he made a big show of serving turkey to the troops -- except that he didn't do any actual serving, and the turkey was plastic. Like everything about Bush's attitude towards the troops, this was all show and no go. This photo-op, parodied brilliantly by Atrios at the time, became the genesis of "giv turkee" as a euphemism for donating money to candidates who might have a hope of ending this despotic regime under which we're suffering. At any rate, even though this photo-op has been debunked, the delusional folks at Talking Presidents (I won't deign to publicize these guys) must have one of those "erections of more than four hours duration" that the Levitra ads talk about -- the ones which are not normal and require immediate medical attention, because they are obviously still all hot and bothered by the thought of C-Plus Caligula in his flightsuit.
