That’s A Lot Of Look

The accusation that a candidate is a flip-flopper is so ubiquitous that we have a whole collection of “Flip-flops” over at Entertonement. And now some enterprising fashion merchandiser has decided to take this trope and make an extremely literal translation: Electionflops. The look of the sculpted heads reminds me a lot of some candidate-themed products I saw for sale at a craft show on Columbus back in May; at the time, Hillary Clinton was also still represented, decorating toothbrush holders and paperweights alongside McCain and Obama. But as the item on The Cut, linked above, observes, even if you do think one or the other of the candidates is a dirty flip-flopper, are you supposed to wear your guy’s head on your shoes, or the other? If I’m a McCain supporter, why am I going around advertising Obama on my dogs? Maybe for the same reason McCain’s “attack” ads all seem to focus on how much America loves Obama as though that’s a bad thing.
