Can I use it as a voodoo doll?

[charliesmum]

So, I'm going through eToys.com, my search narrowed down to 8 year old boys and I come across this.

...The hell?

After reading the doll's description, (Bush has earned a reputation as a compassionate conservative who shapes policy based on the principles of limited government, personal responsibility, strong families and local control.) I started to wonder if eToys was owned by some uber-conservative group, when I read the description for the Rumsfeld doll:

Donald (Rummy) Rumsfeld is tight-lipped and reluctant to let the press know exactly what is going on behind closed White House doors, so when he talks, he makes news...Press his button to listen to 28 different phrases including: "I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said. But I know what I think. I assume that's what I said."

Has to be a satire, right? Something for the grown ups to giggle over? No one could seriously think their 8 year old doll would want to play with these things. Unless they are raising the next generation's Alex Keaton.

OMG, dying laughing here. I have to get my sister the Ann Coulter doll and the Dennis Miller doll. Oh, what fun she could have playing with the two of them. *snicker*

Does the Bush doll come with complimentary hat pins and voodoo instructions, I wonder?

Your icon!!! Funny. Or scary cause it's true. Not sure yet.

Your Icon is making me laugh. Thanks

I must echo the serious, serious icon love.

He kinda looks like Pinky, too, with the sticky-out ears and all.

My father owns the Rumsfeld doll--it's in the hall next to the phone, so that sometimes in mid-conversation we get him to chime in with lines like "I'm working my around to not answering that" and that thing about "known knowns" and "known unknowns."

The one that scares me is the Anne Coutler doll. I'd buy it if I could use it for voodoo.

I don't know whether to laugh or *boggle* so I'll do both!

And what finmagik said about the Ann Coulter doll.

I can't tell if these are supposed to be satire or not. If they are, they're very good satire. If not, um. Scary.

Wierd. I do know that if I had these dolls, I could think of lots of compromising positions for them...

[chavvah.livejournal.com]

I'm reminded of the Bush/Kerry Sims...

That's hilarious!

Based on the Rummy quote, I'd say it HAS to be satire, but I wish they'd put in what the other dolls say!

(Have sent link to my gay action figure colletor friend.)

(Um... I mean, he's gay and he collects action figures, not... well, I'll shut up now.)

[teh-dale.livejournal.com]

lol...Gay action figures, huh? Point me in the right direction, mon frere!

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

Er...okay (http://www.beproud.com/4-billy-doll.htm)

[teh-dale.livejournal.com]

LMFAO! WHEEEEE!

I don't know...that Santa Billy looks mighty tempting...

*grin* Whoo-hoo!

Well, I've been known to put my Londo and G'Kar action figures in some compromising positions...

I was in an antique store once and there was this 'barbie' type doll that was a gay doll. His box looked like a closet and everything.

I wonder if you can re-program the phrases so it says stuff like "Karl Rove is a crook and should go to jail", or "Dammit Laura, I need a drink", or "Daddy President never really loved me"...
