"He's outsold the Rev. Jesse Jackson"

And he's sold out his constituents.

For fifteen bucks it should at least look like the little creep.

As a matter of fact, if it looked like him I would even buy one!

It's short enough, but the face just isn't him.

It doesn't look like Daschle at all but like you I wouldn't pay any money to buy one!

The dolls show a smiling, 8-inch-tall Daschle...

Um...to make sure the figure is to scale with other bobblehead dolls, shouldn't it have been a 6-inch-tall Daschle?

It's amazing - and it's life-sized to boot!

He looks a bit too tall . . . let's see if we can create a more realistic version:

He doesn't look disturbed - maybe a cigarette lighter under his nose would fix that.

The Tom Daschle blow up doll.

"I bought one already!" Said Barney Frank. "I like it but the mouth feels nothing like the real Tom Daschle's mouth".

I'd like a Ted Kennedy bobblehead, complete with the neckbrace he wore after his accident at Chappaquiddick. That would be just about perfect.

Apparently these things are huge (sorry, "hugh") at ABC News; I'll bet they're big at CNN too.

It looks like the manufacturer had some of the George Bush ones left over and tried to morph them into Little Tommy Daschles. Obviously, he was not successful.
