Duck Hunt #6

In less than five hours Iowa Democrats will head to their caucuses. These small groups of party die-hards will make or break years of hard campaigning. These last few weeks of traveling across the cold, wind-blown state has brought about fatigue and minor ailments. But Howard the Duck, M.D.'s wings have refused to stop flapping while his raft has flooded Iowa in what the campaign calls "The Perfect Storm."

Howard the Duck may have shown how much he really cares about the caucuses by zippin down to Georgia to invite himself to church with Jimmy Carter.

Back in college, Dr. Duck patronized some black classmates by insisting on a black roommate.

Now, let's go to the blogosphere:

• Jonathan Chait looks into an inventor of the Duck, M.D. campaign's "ignore-the-center" strategy.
• Captain's Quarters finds an interesting nugget I missed in the Drs. Dean People interview.
• David Hogberg tries to explain why the Dems' #1 waterfowl is faultering in Iowa. To quote Hogberg, "The problem is Dean has made the mistake of equating 'uneducated' with 'stupid.'"
• Orrin Judd reaffirms my justification for dubbing Dr. Dean, "Howard the Duck."
• Randall McElroy at Catallarchy.net hammers Duck, M.D.'s war hypocrisy after news of "Bosnia letter" came out.
• Frank J. imagines Dr. Duck with the bomb. And you though Dr. Stranglove was scarry.
• Finally, Cox & Forkum have one funny cartoon.
