If you have ever been to NYC during the holiday season, you would know that at a few locations around the city (Union Sq, Columbus Circle, etc) they set up giant outdoor shopping cities in the open plaza area. Many, many vendors attend, but my favorite is the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild. They have the greatest little dolls, from Freud to the Axis of Evil (the ones in the White House that is). Now Larry Craig is certainly no philosopher but he joins the ranks of the many famed men and women that have had dolls modeled after them. From Page One News:
A novelty website is marketing a new toy figurine in the wake of this year's "toe-tapping" scandal involving Senator Larry Craig (R-ID).
(snip)Stupid.com, selling the talking toy for $34.99, notes that its limbs are bendable, enabling one to pose the miniature Larry Craig into any number of positions, including the now famous "wide stance" Craig referred to during his June consultation with a Minneapolis police officer.
It may not be as admirable as the Monet or Shakespeare doll, but it certainly gets a laugh out of most. I wonder if anyone will get Larry a little Larry of his own?
