Lileks summarizes up the candidates

A MUST READ for today is Minneapolis humorist Lilek's column summarizing the candidates for president in 2008...saying with irony what most of us are thinking.

Guilliani? "...none of the objections obscure the central appeal of the Rudy candidacy: He'll nuke 'em if he has to..."

Romney? "..he's, well, solid: He appears hewn from the Presidential Quarry.
On the other hand, he could be a genial cyborg from an invading race..."

Obama? "...the Nat King Cool of this election cycle..."

Edwards? "...(he) showed his concern for "the Other America'' by building a new house large enough to shelter them all."

and then there is this:"...Hillary the Grim, who's promised to confiscate more private property than usual: "I want to take (Exxon's) profits and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund ....'' Most despots have the decency to use the royal We, but perhaps that's her common touch at work."
