The Cabbage Patch Gap


I barely remember the hype when the regular ones went for big bucks.... but wow.... big bucks.

Cabbage Patch Kids for Toys for Toys:

Sarah Palin: 50 Bids - $2,250

John McCain: 40 Bids - $1,025

Barack Obama: 40 Bids - $801

Joe Biden: 37 Bids - $600

Looks like people are more enthusiastic about Sarah than everyone else!

Bidding closes on Election Day.

Think Sen. Biden's mom is good for the 600 bucks?

Screw those prices! I'm just going to get an Obama sock puppet for $30.

And hang it by a white rope in my living room.

McCain and Palin (or should I say Palin and McCain?) have captured the Cabbage Patch collectors demographic. Seems pretty apropos. How's Sarah doing with the Escada and Akris Punto collectors?

Wow, you really are an elitist snob, ls. I have no idea what you are talking about -- do they give these things away on NPR?

Nope. They give those away on shopping sprees if you're the Republican candidate for VP.
