(CBS) There's a new economic boom in Alaska -- and it has nothing to do with oil.
Call it "Palin-mania."
...
From t-shirts to thong underwear, from the flattering to the not-so-flattering, sales of just about everything related to the McCain-Palin ticket have been flying off shelves, at the just-concluded GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn., on the Internet, and other settings, Blackstone says.
In Anchorage, silk screeners are working overtime to meet nationwide demand for Palin t-shirts.
...
For t-shirt makers, one of her lines was particularly inspiring: "You know the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom? Lipstick."
"Immediately," says Williams, "I'm just like, 'God, I could reach in and kiss her! This is perfect! Everybody's gonna love it.' "
Read the whole thing, but I like this best:
Some of the more popular catchphrases on Palin-related products: "Sarah-Cuda," "Palin Power," and a t-shirt saying, "I'm voting for Sarah Palin -- Oh, yeah -- and that old guy, too!" Another one: "Global warming doesn't kill polar bears. Sarah Palin does. With her bare hands."
Sarah should watch out, overexposure killed off the "Obama-mania." But in this she will have the help of the media. She won't get the cover of Rolling Stone with a halo surrounding her.
