Action Figure Stimulus

By Philip Klein on 7.7.10 @ 11:05AM

Democratic Senate candidate Alvin Greene has a novel proposal to create jobs:

"Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That's something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It's not something a typical person would bring up. That's something that could happen, that makes sense. It's not a joke."

We really need a nut job like this in the senate,, it may be an improvement over some we already have.

This guy is priceless! I say we move him to, say, Vermont and rum him against Berry Sanders. Look, having this guy around would provide two things:

1) Comic relief.
2) He would remind people who the Democrats are.

Can't we get him elected in a Democrat state?

yes we can| 7.7.10 @ 12:07PM

And I thought I'd seen and heard it all.

It is the best idea coming from the Democrats in a long time actually making a product. There might actually be an audience of people dumb enough to buy those action figures namely the people that voted for him.
