Was it on truth to sell dolls -- Booth well last week the bookstore at getting this heard museum.

Remove Bobble heads of John Wilkes Booth is seen here that's the actual -- after some visitors in a prominent historian said they felt.

Abraham Lincoln's killer shouldn't be commemorated with a C will be here.

Said the Lincoln scholar could look how close is the Lincoln.

It's inappropriate to celebrate a criminal who took the life of a great American whose memory and words -- celebrated Gettysburg it's like sign Lee Harvey Oswald stuffed dolls at the Kennedy Center.

There goes my idea the company that manufactures the -- ahead didn't see a problem calling it -- gag gift for civil war buff so let's discuss this Indy light.

-- -- -- Lightning round with.

Michael Ian Black or -- that I like to call you.

Too soon with a never be a good time for our JWB Bobble heads -- just not there don't sell it there yeah yeah yeah they did John Wilkes Booth Pez dispenser -- -- terrific that I like.

At the Bobble -- on the yeah I can understand if there was a giant emporium a Bobble hat where you just can get any Bobble head you want.

But why -- you have to make it specific to the Gettysburg -- W.

-- stand on the.

It's tasteless or just -- everybody loves Bobble -- but I agree it's it's just to see -- yet these recent you know I mean I was just over the river at the Alexander Hamilton and Aaron -- doing site and we talk and and.

I'm just now finally to the point right can look at that without really you know tearing up for yeah I mean you got to think man if that's just everybody knows we were when you heard the news -- -- Alexander for lying on the ground looking over the Empire State Building I was people look at down on the -- -- but you can over time time heals but.

You know the -- thing.

I'm just raw it's just brought still.

Does that mean.

You know and your icons excuse me but I had a highlight it without them out of Canada and Brazil appears that they he had.

You -- eight times he adds that this we've been around it.

4000 years right the United States know the world and yep yep what does -- 4000 years.

Stop it's it's it's not if it's -- -- Athlon Palestinian reasonable scientific -- yeah that we told what Ali not -- a source with yet.

Actually theoretically just yesterday.

Might -- it really is an -- I mean they're.

I don't know it's just weird because that the device as we said before is whimsical and you can't -- of whimsical to something murderous.

I think that getting into a Bobble hasn't bankers and I think -- -- to be upset Abraham Lincoln gotten into a Bobble head and left it there clinical there's been born I would like one -- to be a Bobble head I don't.

I already happening I was gonna say about -- -- Disagree with K but if if the -- ever comes -- there is for sale on a store some place a Bobble head of me.

My life is complete at that point anything beyond that is gravy.

If you're a -- you think you're -- an action figure any kind of manufactured like -- -- you have arrived in America today yeah.

Might give me a few lawyer -- out.

Do you think I don't think gender thing alt and I think wanna be meetings Bobble heads at some definitely figures yet also upsets little you know.

I'll take it I'll take anything anything that that has my lightness that's why I have children you have to really to replicate my mom would ever and a what I thought the other Michael that it wouldn't want Michael would like -- -- shrine of some kind made out of -- Olympics knocked overboard.

They've got to be great depth with a I feel like there's and they wanna show you later that I don't I just made a part of a lot of candles instead it's about some interviews with you in local magazine yeah got a tile floor if and a lot as a confederate you must applaud the sale of souvenirs like the -- that.

-- -- -- a good point because when they said.

All this is just gag gift for civil war Abbas let's call what it is a -- -- for confederate bust the union fans aren't going to be much of the buyer of this.

I don't know I think you're I think if you look at it as it adds tribute which I believe that there should that you should have a tribute to John Wilkes -- it doesn't -- -- that we don't Bobble head -- -- Doesn't know Bobble -- is a tribute.

It is just -- stayed -- -- to admit it would apologize looks both.

Doesn't it close to home what Katherine Hepburn that -- close to.

And I Qaeda is being portrayed heroically it's bobbled heroically -- have more Bob Dylan is sort -- can't let it hand -- Bob.

The bobbing thing we got if it's a -- -- Bobble -- served in the make eagle happy meal.

I feel pretty good about that fewer -- -- Bobble -- Hitler did an anti.
