Action dolls have gone on sale of Sarah Palin, who John McCain has chosen to be his Republican presidential running mate.
Three 12-inch dolls are on sale - Sarah Palin the Executive, Sarah Palin the Super Hero, and yes, Sarah Palin the School Girl - from toy company Hero-builders for about $30.00 each.
Sarah Palin the Executive is dressed in a formal business suit while Sarah the Super Hero sports a long black coat, white mini-skirt and a revolver strapped to a thigh. Sarah Palin the School Girl is designed for people like Karl Rove, presumably, who plan on doing more with the doll than planting it on their desk for the amusement of others. Company spokesmen refused to comment on whether the doll had any anatomically-correct features.
 Hero-builders founder Emil Vicale said: "I expect the gun-toting doll will sell the better of the three. She's tough, she's a hunter, a real action hero. But watch out for the weirdo types who will buy the School Girl version. We expect plenty of sales on that one, as creepy as that that sounds."
They are designed to capitalize on Sarah Palin mania that has gripped Republicans after the electrifying speech by the self-confessed "hockey mom" at the party convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
"We didn't make a 'hockey mom' version," said Vicale. "Because most people don't find hockey moms all that appealing, frankly. They are a little bit too tough, and quite a bit rough around the edges, actually."
"The School Girl version of Sarah was suggested by the Obama Camp, actually. Just to make her more trashy and slutty. We know there are buyers, too."
Mrs. Palin spelled out the McCain campaign plans to take on Barack Obama VERY HARD in the final 60 days before November's election, and she means it.
The dolls are the latest in a line of American political candidates who have been immortalised including John McCain and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
