Bush Country Ketchup

Former college roommates Patrick Spero and Chris Cylke, the latter a Republican staffer on Capitol Hill, are the brains behind "Bush Country Ketchup."

"While dunking our (french) fries in ketchup a few months ago, we came to a sudden realization," explains one. "With each drop of ketchup we ingested - bottled by a company whose single largest individual shareholder is the wife of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry - we were indirectly making his wallet fatter."

So, the pair took out a $5,000 loan in February and are now peddling the President Bush alternative to Heinz - although a bottle of the obviously higher-quality Bush ketchup fetches $5.99, plus $4.99 shipping and handling.

Teresa owns under 4% of Heinz according the Heinz Corporation.

The Heinz Corporation is giving $5000 to both Bush, and the DNC (Kerry won't accept their contribution) and claims to be non-partisan.

I guess this is kind of a bit funny in a partisan way. It is not based in fact.

Must make the True Believers happy to spend extra $$ to buy Bush ketchup if they think it somehow helps their guy...

Those two dudes who sell the stuff must be laughing all their way to the bank!

I wonder if they will keep selling it after November. And yes, they probably did it to make money. But I thought it was amusing.
