1. Its really sickening how stupid some people are
This "support our president, right or wrong" bullshit has to go.

Its so easy to see how Hitler rose to such power.

6. Are any of you as amazed as I am
I mean the thing looks just like GW. And just like all his "press conferences," he doesn't actually say anything, you just hear funny music.

9. Art imitating life....George has put himself in a box that he can't get
out of...it's called Iraq...so whoever made this is accurate.

"George is Stuck in the Box" should be the name.

18. Apparently, it's not a joke. It says it's made by a company called
Edited on Mon Sep-15-03 10:08 PM by notmyprez
DesignMasters, "a high-end collectible and reproduction company."

" For the toy creators at DesignMasters, a high-end collectible and reproduction company in Williamsburg, Va., ?George in the Box? represents a diversion from their usual museum and historical products. ?Our instincts just told us that with the popularity of George Bush as president, many Republicans would love to have this collectible item,? explains DesignMasters President Byron Whitehurst. ?What we didn?t anticipate was that the Democrats would jump on it first.?

That?s right, the Democrats have beaten their opponents to the punch. ?It?s seen as somewhat of a joke item,? says the manager of a Democratic product store. ?Most Democrats find the puppetlike figure to be rather amusing.? Nothing with George Bush on it is a laughing matter to diehard Bushophiles who take great pride in owning the whimsical plaything that symbolizes the power of their vote back in 2000."

And apparently, it plays "Hail to the Chief."

IMHO, this is fucked!
