Satirical Mints Poking Fun at President Obama Yanked From Tennessee Bookstore
The University of Tennessee bookstore in Knoxville has decided to stop selling packages of breath mints poking fun at President Obama after a Democratic lawmaker complained.

The product is called, “Disappoint-mints” and features a blue and red picture of the president on the label.

State Rep. Joe Armstrong told The Knoxville News Sentinel he found the breath mints offensive.

He said a student had notified him of the mints so he decided to go to the bookstore to investigate.

He said the breath freshener was “very specifically insulting to the president” and said the university should be sensitive to what he called “politically specific products.

The bookstore manager said the shop previously carried breath mints satirizing former President George W. Bush – but no one ever complained.

GO FIGURE.

Hey, State Rep. Joe Armstrong, I think you are a loser cry-baby - you sure you can stand up to scrutiny?

Haven't got a little something something on the side?

Didn't grease a few palms? Accept a little "undeclared" contribution here or there?

Paid all your taxes?

Don't have any illegal housekeepers/nannies?

If I were a journalist - I'd dedicate a large part of my craft to researching people in politics and dig deep for ...

Especially on those who seem bent on eroding the right to free speech.
