Say it ain't so...

I know Obama is into reaching across the political aisle, but I doubt this is what he had in mind.
That's just a guess.The unlikely pair appear together on a button under Obama's signature campaign banner: "Change We Can Believe In."
But that kind of change is too much for anyone to believe in. Even if the conservative Idaho senator were running again, rest assured, Obama would not be lending his name to that reelection effort, or his face on an Obama-Craig button.
Suffice it to say, the button was a mistake. The button maker, Tigereye Design in Ohio, got the wrong Larry. The face they meant to put on the button was that of Idaho Senate Democratic candidate Larry LaRocco.

Hope this doesn't stall the campaign.
Is the button maker a former faux employee?
Garbage.
Reaching across the aisle and apparently under the stall divider...
Another cunning plan to throw smelly stuff into the campaign.....
Now, that ticket would be a wide stance...
I find it to be a noble gesture and a productive political move....Obama advocates gay rights for all whether they be wingnuts or normal Americans.
I just got queasy.
Larry Craig: the Republicans won't take him, and he won't admit he's gay. With no discernable stance, wide or otherwise, on anything, he's a perfect Democrat.
HA!
I think Mr. wide stance should audition for dancing with the stars. They've apparently already asked dan quayle. XD
Is he also up to reaching under the stalls.....
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 2:
That's what I was thinking. I mean, Larry Craig's probably a dem now, just like Foley. Right?
Wow, that is HOT!
In ten years it'll go for $20 bucks on Antiques Roadshow.
Tap Tap Tap?
Nada @ 10:
When he replied he wrote "Shouldn't that be spelled 'Dancing With The Stares'?"
Change worth tapping into.
Larry? Larry Sinclair? Nah...Just a mix-up! Strange "bed"fellows..."stall"fellows... .
Good Collector's item!
Fox News is making political buttons now?
pinkobait @ 17:
Good one.
Oh please let Quayle agree to be on dancing with the stars. I will actually watch it if he does.
You gotta give the company that made that button credit, they have majored in stupid.
Does this mean Larry Criag is a Democrat? Faux News thinks so. They put a D next to his name when he got busted. Ahh, you got to love Faux News and their Fair and Balanced reporting!
casper46 @ 19:
They're tapping into the gay republican market.

Ouch.
Did anyone see BillO last night? According to what I just heard on tv, he went off on Scottie because a few days ago Scottie said the white house gave fox news their talking points.
pissed off patricia @ 21:
I actually did watch it a few times. Don't give a rat's ass about the stars or the dancing part. I'm rooting for wardrobe malfunctions.
Obama/Clark
pissed off patricia@24, Scottie had the guts to go on the Factor? I'm supprised Billo and his co-horts didn't tar and feather him!
pissed off patricia @ 24:
Yes, I saw that. Just another ex-winger O'Riellys lost all respect for. Dammit Scottie, once we throw you under the bus, stay there.
pissed off patricia @ 24:
Loofah boy must be the only moron in America who thinks that's still a secret.
pissed off patricia @ 24:
Hell, no! Wot u think I am, a masochist????????? /snark/
wow...those buttons could be a fundraiser for the GOP...are they on EBAY yet?
Is it coincidence that the faux-pas involved putting on the most notorious of family-values hypocrites who got caught?
I just heard on Hard Ball what happened. Scottie was on Hardball a few days ago and told Matthews the white house gave talking points to those like BillO. Later billO said he had never been given talking points by the white house. Today Scottie was on BillO's radio show and apologized and said he had made a mistake.
So I guess it's all good now.
Looks like Obama is trying to lockup the Idaho gay conservative fake christian vote. This ought to do it!
(hussein)moondancer @ 34:
Great idea! That's a huge demographic in America now-a-days. Wingnut hypocrites make up 90% of the GOP.
"Knock three times if you want me....."
Obama/Kucinich
So just who is supposed to be harmed? Actually a little comic value here.
Johnny2BadObamaCavedOnCampaignFinance @ 14:
That's exactly what I was thinking. "That button will be worth a lot of money someday."
RobertD @ 39:
Hey! You and I agreed on something! It's a banner day, dude! And see, all because of Larry Craig. ; )
I know the name Larry Craig, and I know what he did, but I wouldn't recognize him if I bumped into him on the street until he tried to grab my junk. And I follow politics more closely than Your Average Citizen. Doubt this is anything other than an amusing mistake.
Heck of a way to advertise for Tigereye Design. I never heard of the company until now, but you can bet they will see an increase in revenue as more internet traffic is sure to find their site.
Is Larry changing sides?
Miles Tougeaux @ 4:
The Audacity of Grope
Well, at least its not LaRouche...
Either one of them is a great choice, as long as they can deliver all those Idaho electoral votes.
(hussein)moondancer @ 34:
And as a conservative gay fake christian in Idaho, let me say he's got mine.
Not that anyone in this state likes McCain that much anyway. I've yet to see a McCain sign, but there's Ron Paul signs all over.
Jeon Ji-Yung @ 42:
But people who do design for clients, SHOULD know the names and faces of people they are told to put on products, just basic manufacturing skill.
Of course if you outsource the design to some nephew, or girl friends kid in his bedroom design 'office', then you are asking for trouble.
EricM @ 44:
McCain will be hanging out with the other dinosaurs at the Science museum.
Larry 'leisurestall' Craig will be the flying Dutchman of the GOP conference in September, his favorite bathroom stall was ripped down in Minneapolis, so nowhere to practice, forced to wander the corridors awailing and amoaning, clanking the relics ie basin plugs and chains.
The Young Repugs will be hanging out near the science exhibits booing and hissing at all the witchcraft and strange arcane 'science lies', chanting 4004BC
This is probably as bad as Obama's veep pick will actually be.
The Dems (not the sharpest knives in the drawer politically) have selected anemic, loser Veep nominations that do nothing for them for 20 years. They don't solidify a voting bloc, they don't complement the president's strengths, and they don't generate excitement, and lastly, most pathetically, they don't make the election a foregone conclusion. Unless Obama does something extraordinary, any excitement from the Veep noms will be McStains to claim.
I think you recall Dem Veep noms; Edwards (!), and my favorite Lieberman! For fuck's sake...Lieberman. That choice alone should confirm for you that Al Gore has his head up his ass.
In ten years it’ll go for $20 bucks on Antiques Roadshow.
It's definitely a collectible antique of the future, along the lines of the 'Dewey Wins!' newspaper headline.
Of course, in ten years, we'll be lucky if $20 will buy a loaf of bread, nevermind anything on Antiques Roadshow...
From ABC News.com:
LMAO! Don't expect this rather stiff conservative to thrust political capital behind Barack!
RobertD @ 41:
But we're not gay....Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Oh Man. That is soooooo wrong. I doubt it's a mistake. Given todays political climate.
nonny mouse @ 52:
That danger is not so much coming from inflation, but rather from the biofuel lobby's ill-conceived notion we can farm our way out of the oil crisis.
Who owns the company that made the buttons? Wouldn't be one of Bush's fund-raisers... would it?
Somebody at Wonkette had the best line on this: "The button will soon be sold on e-bay for 15,000 whore diamonds."
Ohio gave us Bush's second term, and now they give us this. Par for the course ...
