THE RIGHT EMBRACES SODOMY, PART

THE RIGHT EMBRACES SODOMY, PART I: The Weekly Standard ran a cover story last week about the Democratic presidential candidates ganging up on frontrunner Howard Dean, giving it this cover:

Yes I know, it's supposed to be a wrestling match motif. But at first glance this illustration makes it look as though Joseph Lieberman is forcing himself upon Howard Dean, while Dick Gephardt holds him down and Wesley Clark watches. I don't know where Kerry is, but I guess he can be thankful he wasn't included.
An innocent mistake? Or a passive-aggressive commentary that the Standard considers Democratic presidential candidates to be on par with wrestlers, if not gay orgy participants? Adding insult to insult, "Howard Dean" looks more like Rush Limbaugh than the "Good" Doctor.
