My Mom and Dad Nominated an Empty Suit for President, and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

This week, Denver is full of Hope, Change, and, apparently, a bunch of cheesy crap for sale:
Democrat "donkey poop," Barack Obama hot-sauce and t-shirts for dogs: Denver souvenir shops are doing a roaring trade in gifts and souvenirs during convention week.

At her downtown dog boutique -- Dog Savvy -- owner Dana Hood says Democratic-themed accessories for pooches have been flying off the shelves in the build-up to the party pow-wow.

The most popular items? "The 'Bark Obama' t-shirts have been selling really well, and the George W. Bush biscuits have been a big hit," Hood told AFP.

Not surprisingly, Obama merchandise has been heavily outscoring the souvenirs that cater to supporters of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain.

"If our sales figures were votes then Obama would win by a landslide," Hood said. "Every day we rearrange the displays where customers have picked stuff up -- but we never have to touch the McCain section because no one goes near it," she added, pointing to a neatly stacked pile of "John McCanine" dog t-shirts.
Gee, who could have guessed that the Obama souvenirs would outsell McCain stuff in a town crawling with moonbats?

Oh, and check this out:
The official Democratic National Convention souvenir store meanwhile was stocking an ominous sounding board game: "Wreck the Nation: The Game of Political Misbehavior."
I know it's probably some game where Chimpy McBu$hitler and the eeeeevilll Rethuglikkkans ruin America, but do you really want to stock a game that's basically a joke about destroying our country in your official gift shop?

Oh, and as for that "donkey poop," it's apparently some kind of chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. Appetizing name, no?
