U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge is now a full-fledged Internet phenomenon: His blow up caught on camera has been made into a T-shirt.
Actually a few.
Online T-shirt and mug seller Zazzle.com is offering a few items that seek to cash-in on Etheridge's episode.
Dome's favorite: Artist Jerry Lambert is selling a shirts that features Etheridge's image in the style of the now-famous campaign poster used by Barack Obama with the words "Who are you?"

Yes, It is VERY FUNNY
June 16, 2010 - 7:51am — louisburgpatriotIsaac136 - You and the rest of the Democrats (Robert Gibbs and Brad Woodhouse) need to get off of your moral "high horse" and stop pretending that the Democrats are not guilty of the same tactics. Remember the hired liberal tracker that caught George Allen from VA on camera. Perhaps if Etheridge had not been chugging the brown water so hard at the Nancy Pelosi fundraiser some common sense would have prevailed and he would not have had his "macaca" moment.
What about this situation is unfair? The fact that he was asked a question on the street. He could have simply stated Yes or No and continued on his merry way. When Bush was in office, we all remember the bumper stickers, t-shirts, mugs and even calendars attacking Mr. Bush character and actions. What is the difference in this situation? Are you being a bit over sensitive.
Nothing about this stunt was unfair. Mr. Etheridge is a public official and should be questioned. Mr. Etheridge showed poor judgement and for that he should face the consequences.
STOP WHINNING!
EXPOSURE is KEY here
June 15, 2010 - 6:17pm — BitterEXdemocratThe fact that he reacted as a defensive semi violent perpetrator is
very telling about his fears. DOES he support the entire Obama agenda
is the question that STILL needs ANSWERING, Bob!
Congressman Bob could have kept on walking, but he chose to engage them.
'WHO ARE YOU?' Why dont you ask Ohbummer, Bob?
Maybe it's clever, but it
June 15, 2010 - 5:33pm — Isaac136Maybe it's clever, but it isn't actually funny, is it? I wonder how many years it will take for these little twerps to develop a conscience and realize that this stunt was unfair, and even cruel. The gleeful enthusiasm that led to the t-shirt/mug marketing route belongs to a mean spirited, spiteful mindset. Oh, wait, that's the GOP. It's a permanent trait.
