Apparently you can buy these things.

Last week during the Democratic National Convention the Herald's political reporters were so bored they took to incessantly blogging about the hotel arrangements of the Florida delegation.

The Republicans have -- thank goodness -- spiced things up.

Besides the little matter of teenage pregnancy, the Grand Old Party has delivered us these damn ugly shirts, Naked Politics reports.

To show a bit of Florida flair, higher-ups required the delegates to don the shirts worn by toll plaza workers. Seriously they're tackier than those proposed Miami International Airport shirts designed by Romero Britto. Natacha Seijas's maid's maid wouldn't even wear these things.
