In case you don’t find the very idea of boiling down a worldview to a bumper sticker sufficiently offensive to your intellect — and unfortunately, millions of Republicans and Democrats don’t — check out the hokey, pandering "you-may-already-be-a-winner" way the Democrats unveiled their winning bumper sticker, starting with this e-mail come-on from James Carville:
Dear Brad,
I’ve had some zingers in my day, but you did me one better.
The DSCC asked you to come up with their nationwide slogan, and you answered with more than 10,000 ideas. I have to admit that — this time — I’ve been out-zung.
Then we asked you to choose from the four best, and the votes are in for the winning slogan.
The lucky sucker — whom the sender is hoping has some money burning a hole in his pocket — is then invited to Click
here to see the winning bumper sticker for 2008. There you will find video bad enough to make the sticker seem like a serious manifesto.
The really insulting thing is, they didn’t even pick the best of the four finalists, which readers of this blog rightly identified as "About Dem Time."
As for the video — well, I preferred Carville’s performance in "Old School." And folks, he was no Will Farrell in that one.

Eh, that’s OK. With sites like CafePress, anyone who wants to can make their own “About Dem Time” sticker.
Could you post what the winner was? My computer couldn’t download the video in 15 minutes, so I may never know.
But I have come up with more ideas:
Reid and Pelosi:
Dem and Demmer
Reid it and weep
Fine print hard to Reid?
Blame a Dem bulb
The “winner” was:
SORRY W
I’M THE DECIDER
DEMS IN ’08
Without a doubt the absolute dumbest human being on earth has to be Idaho’s Senator Larry Craig. Let’s assume he’s telling the truth and he simply has a “wide stance” in the men’s room toilet stall. That is actually stupider than any intentional act of solicitation. The idiot should be thrown out for being stupid, not for any criminal behavior. It’s no wonder the GOP has screwed the country up so badly the past 7 years. With morans like this how could they possibly do anything well.
Bud,
Without the GOP, you might be having pipe bombs for breakfast.
But don’t give the government that actually provides for the common defense any credit, please.
Go hold up a sign that says “Iraq caused Katrina, and George Bush caused it all.”
Since the Democrats “took over” in 2006, they have basked in the limelight, twiddled their thumbs and done absolutely nothing but run their mouths.
Just like always.
bud, the Rethuglican mantra is: “No one ever went broke under-estimating the American voter.”
Larry Craig is just the poster child of the Bush-Rethuglican stupidity, corruption, hyper-hypocrisy, and anti-intellectualism.

You have a point. I’m certainly disappointed in their whimpy approach to the occupation issue. 40 Senators could end this mess but they choose not to.
No, Weldon, The republicans, or to be specific, those appointed by Mr. Bush, did not cause Katrina. They merely have left people to scrabble or die. Talk about relying on ‘faith based initiative’! They’ve come thru. Too bad Mr. Bush et.al. haven’t. It would be nice to think that Mr. Bush has protected us, but unfortunately he has a) diluted our military strength by dividing it between Afghanistan and Iraq; b) alienated many of our allies; and c) failed to capture Bin Laden, while d) managing to convince the world that we have basically ‘gone rabid’.
