As Bush's Popularity Drops, So Do Souvenir Sales
"Near the lone stoplight on Main Street, a for-sale sign hangs from a dusty window where a souvenir shop used to sell cufflinks, cowboy boots and denim shirts emblazoned 'The Western White House.' Another gift store across the street is shuttered too, though a sign says it will reopen elsewhere. And the biggest souvenir shop in Crawford is reporting a drop in sales."

1. Would you want to be caught with a Bush bobble head doll?
I wouldn't.

But I feel for them. They had a good thing going for a while there.

2. A Bush Bobble head doll?
What's wrong with that? Seems like an accurate representation.

3. I'd line 'em up for target practice.
What else can you do with a bobble-headed Bush?

6. Maybe they should sell Bush/Cheney bedpans
Remember the "Tricky Dick" watch of the '70s?

Fantastic seller.

C'mon, American souvenir manufacturers! Get on the ball!
