WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A "Bush-Cheney '04" campaign jacket sold on the Internet has stirred controversy because it was made in Myanmar, whose imports have been banned by the United States.
Although the company that shipped the fleece pullover, Spalding Group of Louisville, Kentucky, has said it did so in error, human rights groups blamed President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election campaign staff for not taking a more careful look at the origin of the products being sold in its name.

1. We had an embargo on Iraq in '98...and that didn't stop Cheney
from doing business with them thru his European subsidiaries. He profited handsomely ($24MM) by trading with the enemy.

So why would they care about the Mynamar ban. Following the law is only for Democrats, it doesn't pertain to Republicans.

2. Like father like son, one term and he's done
This happened to Poppy Bush - see the documentary "War Room".. Carville tried to make a campaign issue out of Bush using a Brazillian company to make campaign materials.
