Political Humor from Hallmark *giveaway*

As most of you probably know, the Democratic National Convention was held right here in good old Colorado while the Republicans congregated soon after in Minnesota. The funny folks at Hallmark got busy before the conventions and came up with some hilarious cards. Then they headed out to the conventions to get reactions from those in attendance. I've watched the reactions at both conventions and I'll tell you, the cards were well received. Whether you're Democrat, Republican or something completely different (and I mean that in the nicest of ways) you're sure to get a kick out of these. Just check out how the folks at the DNC reacted:

And if you're interested in how the RNC attendees reacted just click here.

Now, does that leave you a little more than curious as to what these cards look like? Just click on over here and check them out for yourself. Go on, I'll wait...

Its gotta be George Bush's bornful card. He may not have been much of a president but as a source of great American humor he can't be beat. He has put food on the family tables of more stand up comics than any president in the 21century.

Talk to the wife, too funny

lisawonbig said...

Has to be the Bush's bornfulness card. (Although my favorite, which is not among the options, was a Thanksgiving card I sent ot my brother last year. Had W on the front saying we should all be thankful this year. Inside, it said, "I can't run for president again."
