McCains Richmond Coffee Mug on eBay!

While campaigning in Richmond yesterday, Sen. John McCain made a pit stop at a coffee shop in Shockoe Slip. Mccain, along with his wife, Cindy, greeted customers at Shockoe Espresso & Roastery and ordered a cup of coffee, that he didn't drink...



Today, McCain's "unsipped" coffee and mug are on eBay, put there, most likely by an offended member of the wait staff, who said in the description of the item, "And he would have gotten away with this Rockwellesque photo op too if it weren't for one small oversight. He didn't even drink from his mug of coffee! Just a fake sip for the camera, nothing but a cup of lies."

At the time of this post, the coffee and mug have garnered eight bids, with the highest bid at $41.00 (plus a $14.99 shipping fee). The seller also said that 90% of the proceeds will go to the Obama campaign.
