Animatronic Candidates

Here’s a creepy display of animatronic John McCain and Barack Obama presidential dolls, plus a defunct Hillary Clinton close out model, I found at a local Walgreens.

The John McCain doll looks suspiciously close to Rush Limbaugh, don't you think? Trying to further conflate the two: typical liberal bias in the animatronic doll industry.

I saw these in the five and dime by me yesterday and thought of you. :)

I want these dolls. Which Walgreens had them?

I shot the photo at the Walgreens on the corner of 4th and Townsend.

City and state?

In the blog post I mention that it was at a local Walgreens, which means it would be in San Francisco.

These are humorous.

I saw these. The Hillary doll packaging says “Watch her TRY to dance her way into the white house!” The Obama doll packaging says “This D.C. rookie is TRYING to dance into the white house!” The McCain doll, however, says “This old D.C. warhorse IS dancing his way into the white house!” How's that for a slant?
