"We're sorry our president is such an idiot. We didn't vote for him."
According to "Democracy Now," a U.S. company that makes bags just started including instructions with its product on how to wash the bags properly. Since the bags also are sold in Canada, the instructions appear in French as well as English.

However, on the bags sent to Canada, there appears an extra line in the instructions. Translated into English, it reads, "We're sorry our president is such an idiot. We didn't vote for him."

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! God, I love it! :bounce:

The company has recorded record sales this week -- with sales more than double all previous weeks in the company's history. Customers have flocked to the Seattle and Port Angeles stores to scoop up the bags with the now infamous label. E-mails and calls have poured into the store, with many customers ordering directly from the company's Web site at www.tombihn.com.

And here's the label:

7. Look farther down on the web page and you'll find a link for...
a T shirt they are offering too. At least somebody besides the BFEE has found a way to cash in on Bush's stupidity.

13. I just bought a bag!
I needed a new purse anyway, so I'll be the proud owner of a "small city bag". The purses don't typically come with "the label", so the woman I spoke with on the phone is sending me a loose one, and I'll sew it in myself!

If anyone has a few extra dollars, the company in question is American owned, and the t-shirt proceeds are going to charities that assist our fighting men and women in Iraq.

3. HA!!! I love it wish I could personally say the same to the rest world...
let them know its only half the people that support these lunatics. Think about it,only half the country supports this SOB and the rest of the world doesn't.....pass this on to a repub: You guys are right and whole world is wrong...yeah right!
Also,this is kinda off topic but gotta say I would love to hear Kerry say this again...only heard him say it once: JUST BECAUSE YOU OWN THE BIGGEST HOUSE ON THE BLOCK DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR!!! KEEP THAT IN MIND REPUGS

9. I think Bihm got the idea from this website....
<http://americanapologyshirt.com/>, which expresses this sentiment in several other languages besides English and French. To wit: "Pido discuplas porque my presidente.es un idiota. No vote por el."

14. WARNING
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 01:18 PM by BlueOysterDemocrat
My secretary is Russian and says that the Russian version is for females only. If any males here want to order this shirt, she strongly advises them to white out the last letter, the 'a.' Otherwise you get the feminine version of the past tense of "vote." I should also add that I trust her implicitly, so I'll vouch for this advice of hers.
