Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

It's Boxers, Not Briefs for Obama and McCain

August 18, 2008 01:21 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

The political silly season has arrived on time, just a week before the Democratic National Convention. The latest: The Barack Obama and John McCain Paper Doll Books from Dover Publications. With the flip of just one page, the books done by the so-called King of Paper Dolls, Tom Tierney, answers the old Clinton question: boxers or briefs? As you can see, it's boxers in a romp. The books are fun to flip through and include shots of the candidates' wives and even a special wardrobe for them—including a wedding dress. Dover is running a candidate countdown that will reveal the bestseller, something Tierney will be watching. "Whom do I plan on voting for?" asks Tierney. "Whoever sells more paper doll books, of course."

boxers

LOL - who would waste their money on purchasing one of these books.

boxers or briefs

What a total crock. Come on now, do we really think that Obama looks like that in his skivies. broad shoulders, toned body, teehee, Obviously extreme left wing propaganda here. You have Obama looking like a male model with muscles, which certainly "ain't" so. And you have McCain looking like a "no neck", frumpy old guy, which also is certainly not so. I hope these silly, childish paper dolls are one big giant flop.

This isn't news. It's pablum from some idiot editor who does not know that silly stuff makes long-time subcribers to USNWR lose faith in the brand.
