George W. for sale at $39.99!
You don't have to be rich to buy George W., who has raised $40M+ in campaign contributions, according to this Washington Post story:
For just $39.99, you get a plastic model of Bush wearing flight suit, survival vest and parachute harness, jauntily carrying helmet and oxygen mask - - just as Bush did on May 1 after climbing out of his S-3B Viking aircraft. The Bush doll joins many other Navy SEALs, Blue Angels and World War II aviators in Blue Box's "Elite Force" series.
...The company recommends that only those 14 and older use the Bush doll, which it says is an "adult collectible item" and emphatically not a toy. It may, in fact, pose a choking hazard for the president's Democratic opponents.
In other news, it appears that George Soros, the well-known international financier, is raising money to defeat George W.
Soros is helping to raise a $75 million kitty designed to defeat the U.S. president, George Walker Bush, in next year's presidential election. The Hungarian businessman believes this administration's policy, nationally and globally, is dangerous for the Americans and the world.
He has already put $10 million of his own money behind a newly formed group of well-wishing, good-thinking people, including liberals, unionists and environmentalists. The group's aim to help the Democrat candidate in 2004 to offset Bush's huge advantage in election spending, estimated at $200 million, to fund his re-election drive.
