About POLITICAL DUMMIES.com
History of Political Dummies™
The idea started back in 1998, right around the time that Al Gore started the Internet! My husband and I transformed our 1970 VW Beetle convertible into a sleigh for an Audubon Town Watch Christmas parade. Since we received so many compliments after the parade, we decided to use it for a Christmas decoration outside of our business. I wanted to put Santa in the sleigh but could not decide who would pose as him. My initial thought was President Clinton because he was already in the news as a result of the Monica scandal. A few days later, I had a display set up with Clinton as Santa and Monica sitting next to him. Cleverly stated on the side of the sleigh was “Ho-OH-OH.” The Bill/Monica display was such a hit that I have continued promoting political humor with my VW and all the dummies.
I used my Political Dummies™ throughout the 2000 election and I’m currently using them for the 2004 election. And thanks to Al Gore and the Internet I can share all my pictures and stories with you.
This website has also been an outlet for my personal frustration with politics. My husband and I take our Political Dummies™ on the road and we enjoy meeting people and talking politics, whether it be good and bad.
If you have any pictures that you have taken of us on the road, we would love to have you send them to us.
