SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing: the political insult "girlie men" has opened up a marketing bonanza.
Just days after Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger called state Democrats "girlie men" for failing to pass a budget by the state's July 1 deadline, a San Francisco-based entrepreneur has begun selling T-shirts over the Internet with the slogan "Sacramento Girlie Men."
Offered at www.sacramentogirliemen.com, the item costs $24, "And 20% of proceeds will benefit the California Democratic Party, which as you may have noticed, could use the help," the Web site reads.
Meanwhile, the state's College Republicans announced plans to sell T-shirts reading "Don't be a Girlie Man. Vote Republican."
