"It was fascinating to watch Bush handle the third and final debate by trying to act more like John Kerry. He tried to be calm. He tried to be articulate. He tried to be thoughtful. He didn't succeed, but more important, why vote for an imitation when the real thing is running?"



"Re Michael Ramirez's image of Bush chopping away at Kerry while singing Monty Python's "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK" (editorial cartoon, Oct. 10): Is Ramirez aware that the last stanza goes: I cut down trees/ I wear high heels/ suspenders and a bra/ I wish I'd been a girlie/ just like my dear Papa?

Perhaps there are hidden depths to Ramirez's work which I had not fully appreciated before today."

That second one is fabulous; Ramirez is scum on a regular basis.

2. Why the LA Times carries Ramirez is beyond me

the man is lower than dirt.

Worse than that, he's not the least bit funny or clever.

3. when i saw that cartoon...

the first thing i thought was "i wonder if this dolt even knows the rest of the song?" i'm particularly fond of the lines: "i dress in womens' clothing/and hang around in bars." how apropos.
