Republican Sen. Larry Craig shown on button alongside Obama
Oops! Wrong Larry shown on campaign gear

LEWISTON, Idaho - Some Democratic campaign buttons made for distribution in Idaho show an unlikely pair: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican Sen. Larry Craig.

But don't expect the staunch Republican to throw his support behind Obama or for the presidential candidate to ask Craig to change his mind and run for Senate again. Apparently the button manufacturer picked a picture of the wrong Idaho Larry.

The 3-inch button by Tigereye Design was intended to show Obama beside Larry LaRocco, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, the Lewiston Tribune reported.

5. Headline, October 1st, 2008, "Tigereye Design Closes Shop, Owner Cites Mistakes as Cause"
Edited on Mon Jul-28-08 01:11 PM by Major Hogwash
Citing the fact that they can't tell the difference between a douchebag Republican named Larry and a Democrat named Larry, Tigereye Design closed their doors forever today after producing 10,000 campaign buttons with the wrong Larry.

The buttons were put up for sale at e-Bay shortly after the mistake was discovered.
All proceeds will go to a high school education fund for the owner of Tigereye Design.

The owner stated, "I didn't know there were 2 politicians named Larry", as he closed the doors to his shop and moved back in to his mother's basement.


LoL
