What do you do when you’ve got an office full of campaign paraphernalia from a dead Presidential Campaign ?
You get creative:
An e-mail blast from Eric Woolson, Mike Huckabee’s Iowa campaign manager, this morning offering a fire sale on “Huckabee for President” T-shirts really just speaks for itself.
Here’s the email:
It comes as no surprise to most of you who know me: My office is a mess. The problem is, it’s my company office, not a campaign headquarters, and that big stack of “Huckabee for President” T-shirts is one reason why. So, to make sure we find good homes for all those shirts in short order — and my office space gets back to normal — we’re having a blowout sale this week only.
All “Huckabee for President” T-shirts in my office are now just $5 plus $1 for postage and handling. (You can’t even buy two gallons of gasoline for that price — and think how much longer this wonderful souvenir of Governor Huckabee’s campaign will last.)
Members of the media: I have a SPECIAL OFFER for you! All shirts are just $35.00, $7.50 postage and handling. Just kidding! You receive the SAME GREAT DISCOUNT as everybody else. I know you can’t wear one in public, no matter how good your heart is — and I know you all have very, very good hearts. But you will want one of these high-quality, comfortable white 100-percent cotton T’s with that familiar campaign logo you know and love as a cherished keepsake of your time covering the the campaign you loved best.
Check out this great review from a satisfied customer:
“My Huckabee T-shirt took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I laughed. I cried. It was better than ‘Cats.’” — Mr. C. Saltsman, Memphis
OK, I made that up. Order today because even though that stack of shirts seems big, quantities are LIMITED. And after this, they really will become collector’s items and I will start charging $35 per shirt.
So if you’ve been looking for something to go with your Bruce Babbitt baseball hat, now’s your chance !
