With that, I thought it would be interesting to share with each other the many technological wonders that have been invented by politicians over the years.
And so the list begins:
-Remote control vibrating panties: Paul Tsongis
-Pop Art Holiday toaster: Fred Thompson
-Cell phone bling stickers: the late Benazir Bhutto
-All-in-one desktop printer/fax/scanner/copier: Mary Bono
-HDTV: Phil Gramm
-YouPorn: John Sununu
-Talking Hallmark greeting cards: John Sununu
-Electric knife: Alfonse D’Amato
-Microwave turntable: Ed Muskie
Salt - Orrin Hatch
Zima - Diane Feinstein
Those Mufflers that Make Japanese Cars sound like Chainsaws - Jesse Jackson
Spaghetti-Oh’s - Howard Metzenbaum.
Crunk hip-hop: Joe Lieberman
Corn holders: Paul Simon
GPS technology: Hillary Clinton
Those clicky pens with four different color inks: Mitch McConnell
Edible underwear: Bernie Sanders
A moment of seriousness here: Abraham Lincolndid hold a patent, number 6469, granted May 22, 1849, for a device to lift boats over shoals. (Lincoln had at one time been co-captain of a riverboat, something that doesn’t make it into most short bios):
This makes Lincoln the only president to hold a patent. It’s rather surprising that Thomas Jefferson didn’t, since he was both an avid inventor and supporter of the patent system. But he reportedly wanted his inventions to be free.)
Quoted for Win. I love you, Marley.
My Little Pony - Newt Gingrich
Those giant inflatable Sumo costumes with the fans - Colin Powell
And thisis Mitt Romney’s crowning achievement.
