The university's bookstore is selling 1,000 Obama / Biden t-shirts at their bookstore starting today (Friday). T-shirts have the university's logo on the front and has the words " Obama was there, Biden was there, I was there, UMW 08 " on the back. Cost: $9.99. Profits from the t-shirts go to the university's bookstore. The idea for the campaign slogan t-shirt came from the university's bookstore manager, Kathy Underwood, as quoted in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star newspaper.

The Virginia blogosphere took care of this today. The UMW bookstore is run by the University and, as such, is a state entity prohibited from political activity.

Attorney General (and next Virginia Governor) Bob McDonnell's office issued a cease and desist order.

Can You Say Double Standard?

Great work! Obama’s people contacted Liberty University when he was in Lynchburg, wanting to use their parking lots. Liberty politely declined, saying that as an apolitical entity, they couldn’t be involved with either campaign.

You just know Jerry Falwell was up there chuckling.
