On ebay this was funny as hell but they pulled it off.Whenever i think of ebay as a place to sell something it seems like a place people want to sell garbage they want to get rid of.In any case this is humourous.

Why wait until the redesign of Mount Rushmore?
Now you can own a piece of American history; the Texas Air National Guard George W Bush Action Figure.

This figure probably stands 14" in height, and is exactly as the future Leader of the Western World(tm) appeared during his service defending our Nation's borders from Mexicans and Bahamians.

Comes with detailed uniform (as imagined by base commander), sealed discharge papers, Coors Light keg, and "licensed to chug" bumper sticker.

Now you can have George in your home every day, even after November 2004!

This fully pose-able action figure of the Commander in Chief is likely correct down to the slightest detail. Our highly skilled Chinese craftspeople have been in the action figure industry for years, and trained under a generous re-education program. They make the best, most desirable action figures in the Free Market, or die tryin'!

Winning bidder will be notified of upcoming GWBANG accessories; pile of dried branches, action pretzel, overstuffed bags with "$" printed on them, blindfold, bible with real, highlighted passages, and earplugs.

The winning bidder will also receive TWO bonus gifts: the George W. Bush "Afternoon of September 11th 2001" tennis ensemble, and a genuine “First Lady Laura Bush Serving Sandwiches at a VA Hospital” action figure!

Supplies are limited; don't let yours disappear!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Wow! I'm amazed at the response this auction has generated!
Before things get completely out of control, I should add that the winning bidder's payment (if sent and received successfully) will be forwarded by me, as a donation to www.democraticunderground.com or the charity of the buyer's choice. I've already made my millions as a purveyor of expoitive action figures, so it's time for me to give something back!

I guess I also have to add, after a few inquiries from bewildered people, that it's just an empty box, people. But it can be YOUR empty box if the price is right! Empty or not, the received high payment WILL be forwarded to charity.

1. This is great! Maybe you could edit the subject line...

...so that more DUers will take a look?

Anyway, it's hilarious. Thanks for the post.
