Hillary Clinton Nutcracker

The Hillary Clinton Nutcracker is a funny nutcracking figurine designed for the 2008 presidential election in homage to Hillary Rodham Clinton and her tough reputation. The brainchild of two Minneapolis businessmen Frank Freeman and Gibson Carothers; it stands 8" tall and made from plastic and steel and features a lifelike Hillary Clinton with powerful nut-cracking action.

Originally selling only at a small novelty store in Minnesota, the demand became so great for this novelty item, a website needed to be set up to meet the ever-increasing demand. The Hillary Clinton Nutcracker story has gotten quite a bit of press coverage and has been featured on several major US national news stations including MSNBC and CNN. According to a September 7th, 2007 article in the New York Post, over 15,000 nutcrackers have already been sold.

The nutcracker retails for $19.95 and can be purchased from hillaryclintonnutcracker.com along with other related novelty items.
