The Suffering of the Blessed HoHo

[gottaB]

Which historical figure provides the best analogy for the martyrdom of Howard Dean?

[quaker bill]

1. John Forbes Kerry

Around about the second week of November 2004.

You asked for this, I didn't want to disappoint.

4. If prophecy is your bag

I'd suggest Alf Landon. I chose that one for you.

14. Don't you mean the second DAY of November 2004?

And there will be no resurrection for Kerry. I only hope there is one for the Democratic Party.

2. lol, Dean a martyr?

I guess some of his supporters do look at him that way. Or even more astounding, a christ-like figure. Oh boy. Well, I guess I can picture Dean as a preacher, yelling fire and brimstone for the non-believers. Anyway, I picked other.

16. C'mon--they're having so much FUN trashing Dean further.

It's so much more satisfying to kick someone who is perceived to be on the ground. Don't ruin it for them. ;-)

15. The martyrdom of St. Victor.

Sorry, a Monty Python reference.:evilgrin:

19. I can't believe you are getting in on this game GottaB

I'm disapointed. I guess you are just one more of the plane wrecked kids worshipping a pigs head on a stick.

You want to ignore what happened in the media and within the party that's fine. But don't come crying when the media and the republican Party "Gore" Mr Electability. This Dean supporter is going to laugh her head off when it happens.

[gottaB]

20. So you picked Jesus of Nazareth, or Simon?

What do you have to ignore to tolerate your choice of candidate? I saw many good things about candidate Dean, but I also saw bad things. Ultimately he lost control of his message, and when he did the badness of the bad things intensified.

So you want to talk about Jack and Ralph and Piggy and Simon?

Well, I lived vicariously through Simon. I knew Simon. Simon was a friend of mine. Howard Dean is no Simon.

[nightperson]

24. Woahhhhh!

No way! Where's the thread with the pig's head? Sounds radical! Awesome! :headbang:

[zulchzulu]

22. You forgot "Icarus"

Maybe Narcissus too...

[gottaB]

23. Icarus --quite an oversight

I'd seen that bandied about.

I like the tech angle.
