`POO-LITICAL' CANDIDATES IMMORTALIZED IN DUNG

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) -- The presidential race is going to the toilet thanks to a Tennessee company that's manufacturing "dung sculptures" of political figures. The Zoo Doo Compost Company is using elephant and rhinoceros droppings to create busts of what it calls "Democraps" and "Repooblicans." Past victims have included Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, but now the company says it will immortalize the top two presidential candidates -- which means Bill Bradley, Alan Keyes, George W. Bush, Al Gore or John McCain could soon see their faces etched in animal waste. Although it's a dubious honor, the dung sculptures have a useful purpose: they can be used to fertilize a garden. A spokeswoman says the poop tributes last up to a year before dissolving completely, depending on how much you water your plants.
