Too Much Dick

Quite a compilation, but Sergeant Rock and Easy Co. did more to provoke my interest in reading than "Dick and Jane".

The real Gephardt was well past his shelf life, and his bold ideas for America could only please those who regard with less than unmingled horror such skylarks as a nationwide gravy train for public school teachers, federal policing of "hate crimes," an international minimum wage enforced by UN Blue Helmets, and tariffs on everything from your radio to your underpants. It's hard, if not impossible, to think of a single time in his career that Gephardt stood up boldly for principle, or for anything. He's uninspiring in person, uncharismatic in the field, scrupulously dull in speech. Even the unprepossessing Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD), who had the discretion to sit this presidential race out, looked more courageous back in 2001, when the Senate (but not the House) braved anthrax in order to stay in session and pass hastily assembled, largely unread legislation with far-reaching consequences. In the end, Gephardt didn't even suffer the most memorable defeat in Iowa: That honor is reserved for former Vermont governor Howard Dean, whose febrile concession speech is already being edited and clipped by opponents and radio wags into a campaign version of the Hitler jig.

They're all Dicks.

I'm particularly amused by the fact that Gephart's out and Sharptons still in, go Al!

Being from Missouri, I can tell you why "little dick" is still in the House of Representatives instead of the Senate.
The only way he can win an election in this state is in his highly liberal district of St. Louis. A state-wide vote would get him out of public office.
