Napkin with sweat from Ambassador Alan Keyes' forehead
Blotted from Keyes' brow at Senate announcement 8-8-04
Kind of surprised not to see any diaries about this yet.
The question and answer section is truly hilarious.
Q: Will you be selling a tear-soaked napkin in November? I think I'll wait for that one.
A: Thanks for the suggestion but if Mr. Obama cries in defeat, I'd prefer not to rub his face in it. In spite of my differences in opinion regarding his stands, he still is a fellow American who has the constitutional right to express them.
It's a pretty interesting look at someone's who drank the kool-aid.
Q: Can you verify through DNA tests or other validation means that the actual napkin you have for sale has been authenticated as containing the sweat of Alan Keyes and was in fact recovered immediately following his announcement? Can you also post the authentication document (s) here in the Ebay ad? If people are to bid on a potential political relic, they should at least know that it has been validated that is authentic.
A: Wow. An informed buyer. You have expressed some valid concerns. For starters, there were more television cameras present documenting this event than you might see at a Britney Spears concert. There also were many witnesses present who saw me wipe the sweat from his forehead. Plus you have Ambassador Keyes himself who you may ask if I did, indeed, wipe his brow. But if it is important to you, it is probably important to others to have an affidavit wherein I attest to the genuineness of the perspiration. I'm hereby willing to include such a document with the napkin to the prevailing purchaser.
