I'm not talking about merely *bad* choices, here.

By Moe Lane

And I'm not talking about choices where you have to go "Dude, that's not even wrong." I'm talking about choices so horrifically bad that you look upon the metaphorical wreckage and find it to have actual aesthetic merit.

For example, that whoever-she-is that people freak out about doesn't even begin to count; and picking Joe Lieberman isn't quite at that level. We want spit-out-your-coffee, which is why I'm shilling for Howard Dean for this one. Think about it: he'll bring in the progressives once they're over their "Obama lost the nomination snit," we'll go back to the fine old tradition of never giving the Vice President anything resembling a meaningful job in a nanosecond, he'll be entertainingly nuts for at least four years, and we'll have a constant reminder of why things can always get worse.

So, beat that. Just be good-humored about it.
