Even The Mitt Bobbleheads Were Made In China—By Ann Romney’s Brother
Source: National Memo
Have you ever seen a Mitt Romney lookalike bobblehead doll? Or the parody video, since removed from the Internet, with former Republican candidate Jon Huntsmans three daughters interview a nodding Mitt bobblehead?
This year, the Romney bobbleheads are marketed on the Internet, along with Barack Obama bobble-eads that are reportedly selling faster. But the original Mitt bobblehead first appeared four years ago and was producedby Ann Romneys brother at a factory in Chinaas a party favor for big donors.
Last January, when former Utah governor Jon Huntsman was still in the GOP presidential primary race, his three daughters went rogue and produced the video, with two of them donning blonde wigs to imitate Fox News anchors, and interviewed a Romney bobblehead doll. As they studied their nails and asked sarcastic questions Governor Romney, people accuse you of being stiff. Do you agree? the bobblehead would rapidly oscillate, indicating yes or no.
If those dolls could talk, they might have a lot to tell about their country of origin and who made them there. Although Romney now complains frequently that China has unfairly taken American jobs, the Chinese bobblehead Mitts are yet another example of Romneys propensity to invest in the Peoples Republicand to enrich family members such as Roderick Davies, his brother-in-law, who oversaw the creation of the dolls in China through a Utah company called Asian Sources, Inc.

There's video at the link, too, a news story about the video showing Huntsman's daughters having fun at Romney's expense, interviewing a bobblehead.
