Last week, Kerry's running alone; now, all of a sudden, he's

got a running mate on the ticket! What a flip-flopper!

Did anyone catch this joke on Stewart's show last night?? Actually, Stewart's off this week, and Stephen Colbert was there, but they were talking about Edwards, and at one point they made a joke about what a flip-flopper Kerry was because he "just all of a sudden has a VP" and "he's campaigning today in Pennsylvania but tomorrow in OHIO", which seemed to be a good way to make fun of this whole flip-flop fantasy pushed ad nauseum by the rightards.

Maybe the best way to deal with this is to make it into a big joke, like agree facetiously with anyone who says he's a flip-flopper: "yeah, one week he's campaigning in a blue shirt, and then just the other day I saw him in a white one! What a flip-flop!"

... the GOP has gone so over the top with this charge that it leaves a perfect out in just making fun of it.
