Matt Labash isn't P.J. O'Rourke, but every once in awhile he hits all the right notes. This week he takes a very wry, very personal look at the absurdity of the NH primary. Here's Labash. . .
On Teresa Heinz57-Kerry:
"Launching into a Dadaist recitation of every subject from her childhood in Mozambique to Marilyn Monroe, she offers that one of the reasons she thinks her husband should be president is "because I'm getting older."
On Gephardt:
". . .something seems to be missing. Perhaps the rock'n'roll bacchanal that was once synonymous with the name "Dick Gephardt."
On Kucinich:
"With ferret-like movements, he lands next to me, and tells me how the frontrunners in his party have stepped into a Republican-sprung bear trap on Iraq. . . A sucker for directness, I'm utterly charmed by Kucinich. I ask him to sign "A Prayer for America," his campaign book, which I now call "my bible," so that I can flip it on eBay. "Cool," he says."Posted by Discoshaman at janvier 25, 2004 01:34 AM | TrackBack
