It's especially disappointing to see on a thong
Quote of note:
There are also several "shops" offering straightforward political merchandise supporting Bush and Cheney, who during the 2000 presidential campaign vowed to "restore a tone of civility and decency to the debate in Washington."
Cheney's F-Word Quote Lives on T-Shirts and Thongs
Fri Jul 9, 2004 02:46 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Your dog, your toddler, your car and your computer can now sport the same pungent phrase -- suggesting an anatomically unlikely sex act -- uttered in a moment of pique by Vice President Dick Cheney.
Within weeks of Cheney's angry suggestion to U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy to "go f--- yourself" on June 22, an online cottage industry quoting the vice president has sprung up at Cafepress.com, a Web site offering customized merchandise.
"I thought it was funny," said Sean Bonner, a Los Angeles art gallery owner who designed a range of products with the legend, "'Go f--- yourself' - Vice President, Dick Cheney."
"I kind of wanted a shirt like that and the best way to do it would be to make it myself," Bonner said by telephone.
Bonner's section of the Cafepress site -- www.cafepress.com/vpquote -- offers regular T-shirts, thongs, creeper outfits for toddlers and infants, dog T-shirts, computer mouse pads, car stickers and trucker hats.
After a mention in The Washington Post on Friday, this collection went from getting few hits to being one of the top four "shops" on the site, a spokesman for Cafepress said.
