It's official "Write Like Nedra Pickler Day."

In that spirit I offer this:

Saletan shills for Dean, while Iraqi's Dance

Nedra Pickler -- AP(Crawford, TX)

William Saletan, self styled 'political correspondent,' isn't jumping aboard the 'Democrats Are Dead Express', as all truly intuitive pundits are busily doing today.

While his anti-American screed has an enticing title, Is Dean toast? and sounds very promising, Saletan goes on to make the utterly absurd argument -- if I may use that strong a term -- that Dean's bid for the presidency is not completely dead.

While Saletan makes a case for the lack of people's memories, and cites recent presidential campaigns as supporting evidence, Saletan fails to state the obvious case that Bush has won the respect and admiration of the American people with his frank, genuine addressing of all of their concerns. From the casus belli in the iraqi war, that is, enormous quantities of WMD, and their locations, to his Nixonian handling of the Presidential Daily Briefs, through the President's badger-like determination to find the leaker of name of one Valerie Plame, this man, our President, has shown a steely resolve.

While precious little in the hunt for banned weapons has been found to this point, I have little doubt that President Bush will personally offer his services in the conducting of further searches, rather than spend a month or two in Crawford with his Pioneer and Ranger donors. That is the kind of man we have leading our country.

My God that man in the flight suit turns me on.

Oh, and Laura dear, would you mind terribly refreshing my glass?

Thanks, hon.

Damn, I'm a fine writer.
