Ice cream in honor of the Beloved Leader

Now that Ben & Jerry’s has Yes Pecan for Obama fans, what about something for the Bushoids? Would you like some Freedom Vanilla ice cream on your Heckuvajob Brownie?

Now that Ben & Jerry’s has introduced “Yes Pecan” in honor of our new President, there’s a clear Fairness Doctrine case for having a Bush-oriented flavor as well. Some of the less obscene suggestions from a viral email:

Mission Pecanplished

Abu Grape

Cluster Fudge

Iraqi Road

Chock ‘n Awe

WireTapioca

Impeach Cobbler

Guantanmallow

ImPeachMint

Heckuvajob Brownie

NeoconPolitan

Rocky Road to Fascism

Grape Depression

Cookie D’oh!

Credit Crunch

Nougalar Proliferation

Death by Chocolate… and Torture

Chocolate Chip On My Shoulder

Nut’n Accomplished

Country Pumpkin

WMDelicious

Chocolate Chimp

Bloody Sundae

Caramel Preemptive Stripe

and, of course, the patriot’s choice:

Freedom Vanilla

I’d say Freedom Vanilla ice cream on a Heckuvajob Brownie sounds pretty tempting.

Update A reader points out that the above list inexcusably omits Chokealot Pretzel.
