$25 for Reagan bobblehead (It's like he is really there!) to cover RNC debt


http://thinkprogress.org/2011/02/01/rnc-hawking-reagan-gear/

Under the mismanagement of former chairman Michael Steele, the Republican National Committee racked up a staggering $23 million debt thanks to lavish spending and poor fundraising. But new chairman Reince Priebus has a brilliant idea to save his ailing party: sell the Gipper. Capitalizing on the 100th anniversary of President Reagan’s birth, the RNC launched a website that looks like it was designed in the Great Communicator’s era, which offers red-blooded conservatives a chance to fork over $400 for a framed photo of Reagan’s inauguration, $25 for a Reagan bobble head, or $25 for some jelly beans. The website allows visitors to sign a birthday card for Reagan (no word on how it will be delivered) and suggests visitors may want to donate:

And as USA Today reports, “Priebus and the committee sent out a fundraising letter highlighting the new website, along with a pitch for suggested donations of $25, $50, $100 or more.” “Only with your generous support will the RNC have the resources to recruit and train the next generation of Reagan Republicans for the 2011-2012 elections,” the letter reads.

1. I'll bet the doll is more aware than St Ronnie ever was.
I am going to take the day off, invite a bunch of friends over and drink all day on Monday.

Maybe I will go to a pawn shop and buy an old teevee so we can shoot it.

2. But Cheney said that Reagan proved that deficits don't matter.
Why can't republicans pick a point of view and stick with it?

3. Made in China no doubt...
I'd like to glue them inside the urinals in a popular sports bar.
