You’ve heard of “Cash for Clunkers.” How about “Cash for Crappers”?
Rep. Kevin Priola put magnets on the back of the smallest size Pampers available, and affixed stickers with the Obama campaign logo on the front. The slogan read “Cash for Crappers. Change you can believe in.”
Priola, a Henderson Republican, said he sold plenty for $5 each at a fundraiser.
