Republicans launch 'W ketchup'
BBC Americas


First there were "freedom fries" - for patriotic Americans who couldn't stomach the French version because of their opposition to the war in Iraq.

Now there's "W" ketchup to dip them in.

The W apparently stands for Washington after the nation's first president - but the manufacturers are throwing their weight behind George W Bush's bid for re-election.

In an appeal to Republicans, the sauce's website says "you don't support Democrats, why should your ketchup?" ..

1. Too bad, Heinz Corp is a rethug lovin' clan
Teresa and her kids have no control over the ketchup company.

But of course don't let the facts get in the way of republican hate and ignorance.

8. Does this relate to the health care crisis?
The poor nutrition problem perhaps? I don't get it. There has to be some sort of "grown up" angle to this? :shrug:

10. will the bottle hit itself?
(obscure reference to old Erma Bombeck joke -- a guy is getting the ketchup out of one of the old glass bottles, when his child answers the phone and announces, "Daddy can't talk to you now, he's hitting the bottle.")
