These spectacular Cold War unicorn toys remind us that absurdity in politics is nothing new - remember when we were all threatening to blow each other up last century? Good thing we can all look back at that and laugh, right?

Where would political novelty products be without George W. Bush?

This Democratic donkey wine holder hails from the political gifts section of Metal Imagination, which also offers wine holders shaped like the Republican elephant. For the nonpartisan patriotic crowd, there are wine holders in the shape of an American soldier and the Statue of Liberty.

Complete this sentence: “You can tell your Presidential approval rating is in the doghouse when…”
