Very sticky business
When the Bushites issued their absurd recommendation last month that Americans buy duct tape and plastic to “protect” our families against a chemical or biological terrorist attack, were they returning a political favor?
Nearly half the duct tape sold in America is made by Manco, Inc. The family that owns Manco gave about $125,000 to Bush and the GOP for the 2000 and 2002 elections. These loyal donors are thrilled to report that, since the Bush team issued its Orange Alert, “We’re seeing a doubling and tripling of our sales.”
