Bob Brady Saves Americans From Crappy Chinese Souvenirs

Bob Brady didn’t end up a total loser when he lost in the mayoral primary back in ‘07. As head of the House Administration Committee (”The Mayor of Capitol Hill”), Brady wields a decent amount of power, especially now with a Democratic president.

But while Bob Ney renamed french fries to get back at France while in the position, Bob Brady has now focused his ire on foreign nations that make crap that should, in all seriousness, really be American made. Specifically, Brady put a ban on foreign-made trinkets in the Capitol Hill gift shops. Let’s get a quote from WHYY:

“We told them right away that we don’t want anybody coming to our nation’s capital visiting our visitors center to come away with a gift of the Capitol dome, the White House, whatever it may be with something that says ‘made in China.’ I think that is absolutely ludicrous. I have tremendous support from my colleagues [who agree that] coming to Washington to get a trinket that is made in China makes absolutely, positively no sense.”

Truly, a change is gonna come. ‘HYY reports thousands of dollars worth of merchandise is now in storage ready to be shipped back overseas, and Brady says there is brand-new, super-patriotic American crap ready for vendors to purchase. God Bless America.
