The new face of the Democrats
Or maybe it’s the same old face. Credit for the picture goes to Zombietime, who covered the World Naked Bike Ride 2006 in San Francisco. There are many more such pictures available, should you have the stomach for it.
Mark Steyn covered this event; he makes a prediction:
Those naked bicyclists are emblematic. The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak, too weak to articulate what ideas animate the party other than disrobed defeatistism. Was it a male or female bottom that said “WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER”? It seems more likely that this November the electorate will conclude, yet again, that the Democrats are not the answer.
The flesh may be willing, but judging by the pictures, it’s pretty weak too.
I have to go along with Steyn on this one. I predict the Republicans retain both House and Senate. And if I might make a suggestion, there seem to be no end of good looking Hollywood bimbos in grip of Bush Derangement Syndrome. If nude events are the new public forum, I think the left might do better to work some of them in, and skip the fat ugly naked guys.

Sometimes the medium really is the message.
Well, the symbolic mascot of the Democrats is an ass…
