Duck Hunt #8

After the "I Have a Scream" speech it's gotten harder to find critical posts on Howard Dean, M.D. It's Kerry this and Kerry that. Did you know he served in Vietnam? However, Howard Dean, M.D. is closing in on Sen. John Kerry. Like the Duck, M.D. campaign there may be some life left in this blatant attempt at web traffic. To my New Hampshire readers, if you want the Duck Hunt to continue go out and vote for Howard Dean, M.D. Go, Duck Go!

• Steven Taylor is going out on a limb by predicting a Duck, M.D. win in a "squeaker."
• Hugh Hewitt thinks Dean, M.D. will win New Hampshire because "All of these people and more have a stake in the New Hampshire primary's uniqueness, a uniqueness that diminishes in value if New Hampshire comes to be understood as a vote that ratifies the Iowa results, as opposed to upending them." [via Power Line]
• Captain's Quarters wonders how Howard the Duck can reconcile ripping President Bush on civil liberties while formerly calling for a national ID to get government services and access the Net.
• Cam Edwards points out the obvious. Iraqis are better off now that Saddam is gone despite Dr. Duck's assertion that "their [Iraqis'] living standard is a whole lot worse now than it was before." Monetarily they may be worse off but Cam writes what's now missing:

  No rape rooms. No more mass graves. No more children kidnapped from rest rooms for daring to write "Down With Saddam" on a bathroom wall.

• Venomous Kate has links that show Dean, M.D. is once again all wet. (Hence, the moniker.)
• Gregg Easterbrook is puzzled. Dean came off as weird after the "I Have a Scream" speech, but "there is absolutely nothing in Dean's record to suggest that he is, in fact, weird."
• Bill Hobbs found a New Republic article that looked at the reaction of Howard the Duck's followers to the Iowa loss. How about this description of the campaign:

  the campaign had become a kind of glorified Friendster network

• If you didn't see the NY Post front page last week, Steve Silver fixes that.
• Mike links the former Vermont governor to existentialist painting.
• Matthew Stinson has some lyrics and a picture for a candidate who thought he had it all only to see it vanish with a scream.
• The Commissar dug up an rock classic.
