The last refuge of the defeated

He’s the pugnacious little guy with his sleeves rolled up. He does this because his image consultant told him it communicates authenticity. He seems to roll ’em up another inch for every percentage point poll increase. He’s now so far ahead in New Hampshire that the sleeves are up past his armpits and coming down the other side.

Such a professional look, presidential actually. heh heh heh

Thanks for the ping!

John Kerry was in Viet Nam?

No, I don't think so. Haven't heard a word about it. You'd think if he had been somebody would have said so...

;-)

The "Un-Dean." I'm mad now, Steyn left out my own particular favorite, Dennis Kucinich. He's completely discounting the absentee ballots from the Outer Planets and the nearby Galactic clusters...

"John Finishing-school Kerry (he went to one in Switzerland)."

Finishing school sounds like a place where you learn oral sex.

For Democratic Presidential hopefuls, that would be 'Finishing Sink'.

Great read and another excellant article from the master Mark Steyn.

"....In Iowa, it’s Dick Gephardt, the soporific 1970s union throwback. In Arizona, it’s General Wesley Clark, the pantomime stalking-horse entered by the Clintons...."

LOL!! Mark Steyn is the Mark Twain of modern times...only maybe even better. (Talk about a Pen Warmed up in Hell.....)

OOOOHHHH, you may be on to something here..we've completely neglected the dead (not to be confused with Dead Heads), a VERY important Democratic Constituency...intuitively, I think they would be inclined to vote for one of their own...Lieberman, perhaps? Or Kerry, judging by his poll numbers.....
