New York Governors’ Race update: While I still strongly favor (and would give a formal endorsement were it not the political equivalent of bestowing the Kiss of Death) Kristin Davis’ Anti-Prohibition Party candidacy, one must take note of the fact that Jimmie McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, has received a most influential endorsement: that of a toy manufacturer.

For a mere $49 (not much more than dinner for one at Dougie’s), one can now have their very own Jimmie McMillan Action Figure. The doll carries a silly hat and McMillan’s trademark black gloves and, by the accounts of those who know the difference, looks rather like him. And, of course, the doll talks. It only says one thing, but those who saw/heard the NY Gubernatorial Debates know, so does Mr. McMillan: “Rent Is Too Damn High!” Mr. McMillan’s notoriety seems to have reached as far even as China (where the dolls are probably made), where he’s a bigger hit than he is here. Ya gotta love it.
