True, and taking all that preliminary stuff into consideration, how did they also manage to have them printed, shipped, and ready for distribution in what?, 3 days?
It’s kind of like those docs I saw acting giddy over the fact that their patient, as they admitted they had hoped, just happened to open her eyes just in time for the President.
it’s not rocket science and it’s just not adding up.
I don't know. It's a mystery.
My wife works for a large, public university. If they had to buy something like this, they would have had to use a pre-approved vendor, one who meets certain guidelines established by law not just university policy, if the purchase was done without a competitive bid - and this CERTAINLY must have been the case in this instance, given the time contraints. I'm sure AZ has very similar laws controlling their publicly funded universities.
This company that is cited in the piece seems an unlikely candidate for one who is on a pre-approved vendor list.
If anyone ever gets to the bottom of this (the real bottom), I imagine that either a private individual, or a 501c3 more likely, issued a purchase order for these shirts. I'd also wager that individual or organization was/is directly connected to either the DNC or the Obama campaign, and this whole "University paid for them" story was concocted after the T-shirt fiasco blew up in their face.
