<h2><font color=#003399>Talking toy Prez is hot seller for Web biz</font></h2>
It may not be Tickle Me Elmo, but the talking President Bush doll has been a mini-hit in this Christmas rush.
"Press the button on George's back to hear him say 17 powerful and patriotic phrases," the company's Web site explains.
"Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot shake the foundations of America," the Dubya doll says when his button is pushed.
John Warnock, a California Republican who created Talking Presidents.com with his father-in-law, says the 12-1/2-inch doll hit the market Monday and was an instant hot seller.
"They knocked out our server," a weary Warnock said of the rush of orders that followed a plug on the Drudge Report Web site.
"I like toys that talk, move or do something," Warnock said.
The doll's debut comes as Bush's popularity is soaring during his showdown with Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
"If this timing was so good, we would have done this two months ago," he said.
Warnock admitted he's a big fan of Bush but said he won't let that affect business.
His next doll to come out will be of former President Bill Clinton.
It's not clear whether one of the phrases for the Clinton doll will be, "I never had sex with that woman."
Also on deck are John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
