Tanks For The Memories! -

Tanks For The Memories! - This part of the NY Times article on how badly the Dems hate Bush caught my attention:

Tom Rusk, a state welfare worker who turned out this week to see Senator John Kerry in Fort Dodge, Iowa, describes himself as "pretty liberal." He says he likes what he hears from former Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont and from Representative Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio, but he worries that both candidates could be "Dukakisized" in the general election.

What Mr. Rusk is looking for, he said, alluding to the infamous image that doomed that past Democratic nominee, is "someone who will look impressive enough at the helm of an M-1 tank."

How do the current generation stack up in the TC's hatch?

Let's see...
Carol Moseley-Braun cuts a pretty martial figure - if you're an entitlement warrior:

Bob Graham could be a French tank commander...

Dennis Kucinich would make a great major in the medical branch. I'm thinking Frank Burns...

Al Sharpton may be a tank, rhetorically speaking, but...

John Kerry was in Vietnam. Did you know that?

Joe Lieberman...

Edwards looks more like CIA material...

Dick Gephardt actually looks like a general. In procurement.

And finally, Howard Dean.

Blood and Guts? Or Bloody Nuts? You decide.

So, Tom Rusk of Iowa - whatddya think?
