I WAS TRYING TO DO TO HER WHAT BUSH HAS BEEN DOING TO THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS: In honor of the new Woody Allen film "Anything Else," here's an oldie but goody, from "Annie Hall":
New York, Jewish, Left-Wing, Liberal, Intellectual, Central Park West, Brandeis University, Socialist summer camps, and the father with the Ben Shahn drawings, right? Really, you know, strike-oriented, kind of Red-...stop me! Before I make a complete imbecile of myself.
Note that other than "Jewish," "Brandeis," and the summer camps, every one of those applies to Howard Dean*. Maybe during the next debate the ghost of Marshall McLuhan will pop up and tell John Kerry, "you know nothing of my work!"
*Though Dr. Dean's wife is Jewish, and come to think of it, he has never denied that he went to Workmen's Circle camps. Hmm…
