When you combine the deeply thought out political philosophy of one of Mudcat's more prominent intellectuals, "I thought the Bush girls had nice tits" with Ebbie's warning that "They plan to campaign more or less full time for their father this fall," and then think about what Thomas Jefferson said regarding the need for an informed electorate, it's obvious that John Kerry has his work cut out for him.

In this enlightened nation, one should never underestimate the vote-getting power of a couple of boobs. But in political campaigns, you use what you've got.
