...police vacations have been canceled so that some 4,000 officers can contain anti-Bush protests organized by the Stop the War Coalition, which mobilized a record 1 million marchers for a demonstration last February. The group's website sports an unflattering photo of Bush, complete with instructions on how to photocopy it at 141% magnification to produce the right dimensions for an effigy. Plans call for toppling a mesh statue of Bush, Saddam style, in Trafalgar Square on Nov. 20. The President will be kept as far away from protesters as the Secret Service can manage...
Dean, a native of New York, of course denied any connection to the Bronx Bombers. After all, who would want to root for the Microsoft of the American League? They’re big, they’re rich and most of the developed world hates them. Indeed, the anti-Bush agitator, showing remarkable taste (or, alternatively, fearing for his skin while campaigning in New Hampshire—Red Sox territory), insisted that he was a Sox fan and that he always supported the “under...
Today, however, the Begala-Carville strategy of branding Bush as a “radical” continues in the candidacy of current Democratic frontrunner Howard Dean.

Wild applause. Gephardt seemed to blink, surprised. "I came up with that line right there, on the spot," he told me. "It just spilled...
...17th century's whoa. But it's not the first word one expects to hear from the "maverick" (USA Today), "insurgent" (Los Angeles Times), "fiery" (New York Observer) self-proclaimed leader of "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party," the great repository of hope--and donations--from the antiwar, anti-Bush, pro-gay, Michael Moore left. Even so, the Anglophile locution sounded quite natural coming from Dean's thin Wasp lips...
