Winter Takes All
Ice Pick Kerry. Dean’s RN’s. SOTU media. Cell drivers. Belgium’s Noam Chomsky. Plus much more.

I appreciate the note, and now better understand your vision.
Nurses for Dean obviously has an important role to play in Howie’s
campaign, especially if he goes on to lose in New Hampshire and has
another cataclysmic episode. Where were all of you on caucus
night?

I have to concur with much of what Wlady says — I watched NBC’s coverage and it was similar to that on ABC. Tom Brokaw et al. could not even let the President out of the Congress before they cut to Senator John Kerry in New Hampshire in an attempt to debunk the speech just concluded. But as the Senator tried to squelch the message with a trail of “no’s,” all I could think of was the “Officer Barbrady” character on the TV show “South Park” — “Nothing to see here, folks, move along, move along” (against a background of things like a Mecha-giant Barbra Streisand fighting it out with a Mecha-giant Leonard Maltin).
p>But I also concur on the Democratic response being not only cheesily sequestered but cheesily presented. Representative Nancy “It’s time for my closeup, Mr. De Mille” Pelosi and Senator Tom “It’s only got 30,000 miles on it, honest” Daschle were the most ill-suited presenters that they have used in many years. Even the great bloviator, Senator Ted “I can still wiggle like a five-year-old in church” Kennedy could have done better. br> — Cookie Sewell br> Aberdeen, Maryland /p>
