Of the field of the Nine Dwarfs, err...Nazgul, err..Angry Men, err.. Democratic Presidential Candidates, Joe Leiberman seems to be the one I could actually vote for if I had to, for the clear reason that he hasn't embraced the knee-jerk anti-war moonbattiness of the rest of the field.

It made me wonder, though, about the international diplomatic ramifications if by some miracle he did win the election.

Given the rising level of Anti-Semitism in Europe, much less the Middle East, can you imagine what it would be like if we had an Orthodox Jew as President?

The conspiracy theorists would self-combust, and can you imagine Prince Whoever of the Sauds, or Musharaff, Chirac, or ANY Islamic leader having to come over here and shake his hand and make nice?

Can you imagine Mubarak having to come over here and kiss his ass to make sure those billions we give his dogass regime keep a'comin?

That's one delicious thought.

Maybe Bush could make him Secretary of State for his second term. That's be almost as good, and would pretty much insulate Bush and the Veep from any asassination attempts by Islamic terrorists, as Joe would be third in line for the top spot if they managed to pull it off.

Never happen, though.

Speekina Moonbats, what the hell are the serious contenders, meaning Dean, Leiberman, Gephardt, Clark, Edwards, and Kerry thinking?

They're letting themselves be seen on stage with Barking Moonbats Cubed like Sharpton, Braun, and Kucinich. I'm no expert on politics, but this is like showing up to pick up your date for the Senior Prom in the company of Hunter Thompson, Mike Tyson, and Michael Jackson. The Democrats are at risk of becoming a parody of themselves.

They should have exorcised those cranks from their midst a long time ago.

I had happened, the other day, while searching for a ballgame on the radio, to hear the broadcast of the last of the debates this motley crew held for the benefit of the electorate's enlightenment.

I was floored. I think my mouth actually fell open a few times at the level of illogical, visceral, blind, hate and vitriol they were spewing out. Made Linda Blair look like a piker.

It was like a contest, with all the candidates save Leiberman, and to a lesser extent Gephardt, engaged in a vicious spiral of seeing who could spout the most outrageous insult towards the current administration's direction.

I was thinking to myself, "Dude, did you just say that out loud? Don't you know the camera's are rolling? Rove's gonna tear your ass up with these soundbites come the fall."

This was before we nailed Saddam, and all the news we've since gotten about the economic recovery, but that was the night I decided that Bush would win the election in a walk. I got money on it, if anyone's interested. :-)
