Laundry Label Calling President an 'Idiot' a Hit

[ze_dscherman]

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Insulting a president can be profitable, a Washington state bag maker has discovered, but it is best if the insult is written in French and tucked away on a tiny laundry label.
Labels on most of the backpacks, messenger and laptop bags made and sold by Tom Bihn have his company's contact information along with washing instructions in English and French along with a message reading: "Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui."

The translation reads: "We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We did not vote for him."

Tom Bihn, who designs and makes bags for his eponymous company of 10 employees in Port Angeles, a seaside city 60 miles northwest of Seattle, claims he has no idea how the phrase got onto the label, but credits it with doubling bag sales.

2. The blog at the site is worth reading, - here is a comment by the Co. Pres

Yes it is true I was elected by the board of directors of TOM BIHN INC to be president. Not by the seamstresses or production coordinator or graphic artists or translators. Therefore, "they" did not vote for me, just like the label says.
(Our senior seamstress is a Vietnam veteran and she thinks it's really funny that everyone assumes it's about George Bush. Maybe she did it?)
I personally don't have any fear of a Republican backlash. I have lots of friends that are Republicans and am a great admirer of many Republican ideals, such as small government, fiscal responsibility, personal liberty and a cautious foreign policy.
Regarding our troops (and customers) in Iraq, I'll have to wait to see what they post. We are very proud of that they've chosen some of our bags to equip themselves with in this most extreme and dangerous situation. It is sad that they are forced to buy our bags with their own money - I would have gladly missed out on the $300 "tax cut" I got to know that our men and women in uniform were properly equipped. I hope and pray they all come home soon and in one piece.
I could write more, but I have a factory to run!

He is an idiot !:crazy:


Maybe Barbara Bush should be in the oval office holding W.'s hand while he's asked questions by the 9/11 commission.
