The John Wilkes Booth Bobblehead...Poor taste?

[Laurie Verge]

Surratt House is selling the Booth bobble-head as well as a young Lincoln one and the Lincoln Memorial statue one. They are all living happily together on our shop's shelves! We decided to follow the strategy of the Ford's Theatre Society, which sells the Booth one in their gift shop -- despite it being banned from the one that the National Park Service runs. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. Luckily, a lot of our visitors like it.

Strictly from a personal point of view, when you have a job dealing with the assassination story every day of one's life, you learn not to take yourself so seriously all the time. Fun and jokes relieve the stress - and no one thinks that Booth Bobble will turn and shoot Abe Bobble.

Note to manufacturers - I would like a Mary Lincoln bobble. However, I would like her head to bob from side to side instead of up and down.
