So here's an interseting tidbit. Toy Presidents, the manufacturer of such popular figures as Arnold Schwartzennegger, Bush, Reagan and Clinton, makes these wholly patriotic dolls right in good ol' China. Ironic? Depressing? Inane? Who's to say? Certainly not Johnson, who is curiously absent from their line. Nixon's in there of course, having visited the mother country, and it just wouldn't be a party without Pope John Paul and Moses. I could only speculate what Moses would say. Perhaps some choice words to idol worshippers?
