Condoms a Hit at Convention

DENVER – Forget the T-shirts and the Obama buttons, the convention 
souvenir to score (dreadful pun intended) come courtesty of Angus 
McQuillken, vice president for public affairs of the Planned Parenthood 
League of Massachusetts.

It’s a condom wrapped in a bright magenta matchbook cover that 
says, “PROTECT YOURSELF FROM JOHN MCCAIN (in this election).”

Actually there’s a series of 10 -- because there are “10 things everyone 
should know about John McCain” says Planned Parenthood. So delegates may 
want to collect them like playing cards -- you know, trade them with your 
friends, etc. Number 8 happens to want that McCain “wants to nominate 
Supreme Court justices who are ‘clones’ of conservative justices Alito and 
Roberts.”

McQuilken confessed he was a little skittish about taking his calling 
cards, so to speak, into the Pepsi Center. But security screeners seem 
more concerned about laptops and camera equipment than condom collections.
