Indictmints:
"Scooter Libby, Tom Delay, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. They're goin' down! Eat them with conviction. Imagine honesty and integrity in Washington? Wow!"
Impeachmints:
"Peach flavored ImpeachMints Oh, the sweetness of a Bush impeachment can be savored if only for a moment with these ImpeachMints. Fantasize about sending Bush back to Crawford."
From "Vermont's Independent Voice":
"Talk about a curiously strong reaction to a box of breath mints. Several weeks ago, Becky Dayton, owner of the Vermont Book Shop in Middlebury, got a phone call from “an angry customer” complaining about a line of popular mints she sells at her register. The candies, which are packaged in assorted tins under such names as “Impeachmints,” “Indictmints” and “National Embarassmints,” feature unflattering illustrations of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and other White House officials. According to Dayton, the customer was offended by the satirical cartoons and said they were “inappropriate” for a small, independent bookseller.
The irate customer, Frederick Fritz, didn’t mention his position in the community. He didn’t have to — Dayton immediately recognized him as chair of the Middlebury College board of trustees.
“The thing that was most offensive to me was his scolding attitude and his claim that booksellers are held to a higher standard,” Dayton says. “He made some comment about how our mission should be to have ‘a free exchange of ideas.’”
Got a problem with free speech, Mr. Fritz?
