GET THE PRESIDENT IN YOUR BACK POCKET

GET THE PRESIDENT IN YOUR BACK POCKET

WASHINGTON (Wireless Flash) – Want to get the president in your back pocket? All it takes is $3.95, thanks to a Washington humorist who’s created the “Pocket President” to poke fun at George W. Bush. The 7-inch-tall Dubya is made out of cardboard and is cut to fit inside a standard shirt pocket. Creator Bill Shein says the Pocket President is particularly popular with congressional interns, but environmentalists have been snatching them up as well. He says he decided to manufacture the satirical mini-Bushes because he claims “...after six months of the Bush presidency, it seems the only way to deal with it is through humor.” Shein is even offering a special deal to folks who decide to spend their tax rebate checks on Pocket Presidents: 150 prezzes for $300.
