Best Ticket Ever: Obama/Craig ’08

by Sara K. Smith  10:08 am July 28, 2008

Where's Serolf Divad when you need him?So there is this Democratic paraphernalia vendor called Tigerye Design, and they sell buttons and other crap. One such button, briefly available for purchase on their site, showed Barack Obama and Idaho Bathroom Goblin Larry Craig instead of Obama and Idaho Senatorial candidate Larry LaRocco. So until the vendor pulled it, a button was available that showed the guy who even straight dudes want to do and the straight guy who wants to do dudes. Prediction: this button will retail on eBay for fifteen thousand whore diamonds. [AP]

It looks like everyone at the hooker convention had their picture taken with Hopey.

How many did you order, Sara?

Obama-Craig? That would give the nation of whiners one more reason to say that Obama is getting a free ride.

Though Barry-Larry sounds kinda cute.

Gives the phrase “pandering to the Republican base” a whole new meaning.

Who the fuck would buy any of those buttons? On a side note, I was going to buy an Obama bumpersticker for five dollars, but when I got to the checkout, shipping was $8.50. Whatever happened to the days when you could get stickers for free so that you could ADVERTISE for the candidate?

Yeah, that was a misprint. It was supposed to be the John Edwards / Larry Craig ticket. Keeping public restrooms across America safe.

[re=45195]Anita Cocktail[/re]: Personally I find all Republican pandering base.

I love how it’s Craig’s mug-shot.

[re=45202]slithytoves[/re]: MoveOn.org gives out free bumper stickers (with no shipping and handling)…i got mine to scribble shit all over it

[re=45209]PoliticalGraffiti[/re]: cool. thanks.

…ironically Larry Craig likes to be the “bottom” of the ticket!

Land of Hopey and Gloria…to a thumping disco base.

I had no idea that the toe-tapping stall dwellers were such an important voting block! So those mad scratchings on the stall walls WERE shadows of things to come after all…at least they have a free database of lots of “willing” people’s phone numbers now.

Snark off

HR just informed me that I’m up for a promotion.
I better get off these intertubes!

Squiggyfm July 28, 2008 at 11:33 am

[re=45195]Anita Cocktail[/re]:

Then you should see the Obama/Nixon button right underneath it.

It makes me all hopey in my pants.

Wagamuffin July 28, 2008 at 11:39 am

[re=45244]loudmouthredhead[/re]: Nice beat, and I can dance to it.
And looking forward to news stories of their bastard love child.

[re=45248]lilblackcorvette[/re]: Go get ‘em! Return to the intertubes a richer, more fulfilled lilblackcorvette.

loudmouthredhead July 28, 2008 at 11:56 am

I wonder what Larry would scrawl into the bathrooms at the Whitehouse…any guesses?
“Look how far I’ve come!” (Yes, spelling it with the -ome you sickos!)

I thought ‘the Guy that Straight Dudes want to do’ was Kleeb.

….mmmmmm…….Kleeeeeeeb……..

What about those Obama/Ventura and Obama/Perot buttons?

sanantonerose July 28, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Damn. I’m five thousand whore diamonds short. Sara, will you be my Lois Loan?

S.Luggo July 28, 2008 at 12:52 pm

Craig doesn’t look too happy on the button. He doesn’t like the dark meat?

In any case, would an Obama/Rocky Rococo button be an improvement?

[re=45281]choinski[/re]: The ivory to the ebony. Goddamn there’s so pretty Dems running this year. They should put out a calendar.

THIS Obama/Craig button is NO mistake!
