Holiday gift idea from our "Now I've Seen It All Department"
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 08:24 PM by Bluebear

$34.99 plus S&H
"Turkey Dinner Bush is dressed in a replica of the Army Jacket, blue shirt and black pants he wore while visiting the troops, and comes complete with a turkey dinner tray similar to the one he carried last Thanksgiving Day. Unlike the company’s other dolls, Turkey Dinner Bush does not talk. This limited edition action figure is strictly limited to production of 5000 dolls.

Talking Presidents is a designer of political action figures, including Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Reagan, and of pundits including Ann Coulter."

1. LOL. The irony.
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 08:21 PM by Akoto
I'm sorry, but I just can't help but laugh at how ridiculous that is. The greater irony? The doll's turkey is plastic, just like the real president's. :evilgrin:

Place on floor near mouse hole. Mouse sees figure, breaks into uncontrollable hysterics. Capture and release or exterminate said helpless mouse.

Pest Control made easy!! :D

10. Antiques Roadshow - 2025:
"Yes, ma'am, I realize it was a limited edition, and one would think that such an item would have gone up in value. However, I'm afraid this figure now has the same market appeal as the "Abu Ghraib Talking President" and the "Fucked-the-Country Talking President" -- that is to say, no value whatsoever.

Besides -- and this is just a side observation -- I note that he doesn't 'talk' unless Karl Rove actually pulls the string. This item, unfortunately, is as worthless as the actual man."

19. That's a little pricy for a voodoo doll, but it's so horrible
that I'm almost tempted to buy it as a gag gift for someone. How can they market this with a straight face?
