Buyer Beware: K.B Toys
Their latest action figure is: Elite Force Aviator: George W. Bush - U.S. President and Naval Aviator - 12" Action Figure

It is selling for $39.95 at kbtoys.com. It has nice little extras like an oxygen mask, helmit, survival vest and g-pants. Sorry, you will have to supply your own miniture pair of socks for his you-know-where. I would supply a jpeg but I know prople on mountain and pacific time would not appreciate the view so close to dinner time.

It was nice shopping at KB Toys.

2. Did they include the sausage?

4. I was actually thinking of getting one, but I don't want to have to buy it
I would like to do some Ray Harryhausen style animation with it.

6. LOL!!! Channeling Ray! I love it!!
I agree, it's almost worth having if not for the fact that we would have to send them actual money...

:evilgrin:

why do I have the feeling that most of these will be used for unsavory uses?

5. Check it out
From Site: "BBI proudly introduces the latest issue in its Elite Force series of authentic military 12- inch figures, President George W. Bush in naval aviator flight uniform. Exacting in detail and fully equipped with authentic gear."

They're right! The face on the doll looks as dumb as the real thing.

7. Lord, you just know the Twins are developing an eating disorder
as we speak! They must be HORRIFIED!

Can you imagine YOUR dad having a doll come out?????? Poor girls -- I wish they were older and married and had their own lives.

I don't know why I care about them...but I think about what I would be thinking at age 20......if Bush were my dad.

Lord, Bush is probably THRILLED about this. Can you imagine??????

8. yuck
AWOL Bush the courageous pilot. Yeah right.

"Bush had scored only 25 percent on a 'pilot aptitude' test, the lowest acceptable grade. But his father was then a congressman from Houston, and the commanders of the Texas Guard clearly had an appreciation of politics."

9. Are "g-pants" like a g-string for your g-spot?
I don't care. I can think of some nasty games to play with this little dolly.

10. send them a note!
Actually, their target for this is not kids. It's the pathetic Bushbot women who slobber over him. Old blue-haired grannies, acting like ninnies.

15. This is funny stuff.
Something about this thing is screaming 'collector's item' to me, especially if Bush loses. Sign of a high water mark, or can things get even more ridiculous?

21. You could be right. I kept a case of Billy Beer for years, and waited
years for it to get valuable. Finally one night we just drank the stuff.
Yeccch.

17. Can you get your money back when the doll goes AWOL?
Also, does the doll come with a yellow streak painted down its back and phony honorable discharge papers?

19. NAVAL Aviator? Excuse the f**k outta me?
But wasn't the ChimpBoy AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard? That's HARDLY a "Naval Aviator"!! All the Top Guns ought to be really pissed about this.

But of course they won't be.

sigh.

25. HA HA...maybe they should put a big piss-stain on the front of the pants
Does anyone know...does the doll come with "simulated Sherriff Barney Fife-Style Texas Badass Swagger?" Does it have a string on it that you can pull and get Bu$hisms? Does it include companion doll "Boring Laura, most Boring First Lady Since Lemonade Lucy?"

Sweat socks are nothing if not absorbant.

I'll find out what he would've actually worn at Levenworth. Maybe those bunny-suit p.j.'s that button in the rear..?

23. Ooh! Ooh ! Oooh!
Lightning Idea!

Lets all go into our local KB Toys, move all the Bush dolls to different shelves, hide them behind the GI Joes, so that the toy Bush can be authentically AWOL, hiding behind real soldiers, just like the phony pres on which it is based?

ya wanna?

34. I don't know-this doll could be fun for mock photography
Take pictures of it in hilarious positions, like some people do with their barbies. It would be even more fun if they made some of his friends into dolls-Condi, Dick, Osama. Just a thought.
