Tap Once for CHANGE, Twice for Something Else

Politics DOES make strange bedfellows.

Tigereye, a button maker in Ohio, apparently didn't live up to their name when they created this Obama item.

From yesterday's Washington Post:

Obama Backs Larry Craig? Change We Can't Believe In!

...folks all across Idaho are howling over a snafu that put presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on a political button with Larry Craig, who isn't even running for reelection in Idaho on account of his arrest in an airport men's room sex sting.

A production snafu put the images of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and disgraced Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) on a political button. The unlikely pair appear together on a button under Obama's signature campaign banner: "Change We Can Believe In."

...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.
