Oh, and Karl Rove wants Dean to be the Democratic candidate. Because he is so beatable–get it? Why am I reminded of a certain scene in The Princess Bride? (“Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I’m not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.”)

Surprised you didn’t link to the book rather than the movie. It’s a lovely book. (Although it’s one of the very few movies that I think really did capture the feel of the book.)
I only linked to the movie because this illiterate soul never read the book. Now I’ll have to at some point :).
*Excellent* summer reading.
I myself am about to buy Kitchen Confidential, and Memoirs of a Geisha. Yum.
People are always complaining about how there are no “interesting choices.”
I haven’t made my decision about Dean yet, but at least it’s a different option.
No comment about how beatable he is, though.
