Tonight's Purple Bandaids: Cufflinks!
Gosh, those repugnicians are so darn funny. While Americans are skating on the brink of disaster, they choose to mock and malign:


Cufflinks referring to U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) distributed by campaign staffers with U.S. Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-AZ) to members of the news media are seen in Nashville, Tennessee October 7, 2008.

From Bloomberg News:

McCain, 72, will try to leaven his attacks with humor, said Republican campaign aides, some of whom plan to wear cufflinks with a mock Obama presidential seal. McCain and his surrogates will be ``aggressive truth tellers'' on debate night, said senior adviser Nicolle Wallace. ``I don't accept the premise that that makes the campaign negative.''

3. Those are cool! Where can I get some for my shirts?
Are they made well or just cheap crap?

Pretty sure Bush wears cufflinks.

5. This is why the McCain campaign is doomed.

They think they will be "funny" by lambasting Obama with cuff links?!

The average voter never uses cuff links. Even if they did, they wouldn't think this is amusing.

"So, Senator McCain, the economy is tanking, and your staff still has time for fraternity pranks?"
