Politics Today’s Hot Mercury Collectible!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Fri, May 16 at 3:53 PM

Every week, you’ll find a Mercury placard on the front of our boxes advertising a story in the current issue. And while we’ve had popular placards in the past, none have been as popular as this one:

According to our circulation manager, Jay, almost every one of these popular placards have already mysteriously disappeared from our boxes. BUT IS IT REALLY SUCH A MYSTERY? I believe that this particular placard is already a hot collectible because it depicts a watershed moment in our state’s political history. Therefore proud Oregonians are obviously grabbing this placard for themselves, and framing it on their walls at home to share with their grandchildren and their grandchildren’s grandchildren.

But even though many of our boxes stand naked, there’s still time for YOU to get this historic collectible for your very own! Simply send five dollars to “HILLARY GETS HER ASS HANDED TO HER IN OREGON” c/o Wm. Steven Humphrey, Portland Mercury, 605 NE 21st Ave., Portland, 97232.

Act now and you’ll also receive, absolutely free, the highly collectible Mercury placard that pictures Urkel saying “Got any Cheeeeeeese?”

SO GET YOUR HILLARY PLACARD TODAY! Supplies are limited, and there probably won’t be any left when Hillary concedes (which should be in about four days).

Is this offer available if I just stop by the office? I have an untrustworthy postman.

WOW...not that I would expect anything but a bunch of hacks from the Mercury, but give the Hillary-bashing a break. You want Boy Wonder to win in the fall, then tone it down. I'm a Hillary supporter and while it is abundantly clear that she is the best qualified, most able candidate to defeat John McCain this fall, if Obama wins this primary, he's going to count on people like me to support his farce of a candidacy. Keep bashing Hillary...and we'll sit it out then you've got your sorry ass arrogant selves to blame for four more years of Bush. Trash journalism at its finest. Sure you've all got hard-ons over yourselves.
