Warning: If you are a dyed-in-the-wool staunch Democrat with a low threshold of humor … do not read the following bit of satire from this conservative columnist. But just remember, this is an election year, so get ready to hear a lot worse insults from both sides.

Every politician has his Achilles heel and I have chosen some logos which I think best symbolize the identity of the following list of Democrats:

Sen. John Kerry: A waffle iron. Kerry has a long history of voting one way and then renouncing his stand, such as “I voted for it before I voted against it.”

Sen. Tom Daschle: Since Daschle is from South Dakota, officially name the “Coyote State,” it is an appropriate description of his tenure of his tenure in the U. S. Senate. He has always had the reputation for sneaking around like a predator to disrupt any efforts by conservatives to pass any legislation he doesn’t like. His logo should be a coyote.

California Representative and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: Her logo should be a deer in the headlights. Congresswoman Pelosi’s eyeballs nearly pop out of her head when she is making one of her frequent anti-war speeches stating, “This war is un-winnable.” She is the queen of fear mongering.

Sen. Robert Byrd: I had a hard decision to make between a KKK bed sheet or a bloated pig. I finally decided on the pig as Sen. Byrd is well known as the king of pork. Almost every other building, highway, bridge, school or park in Virginia is named after him.

Gov. Howard Dean: This was an easy choice. Dean’s logo would be a screech owl. When he was running for president, his campaign came to a screeching halt after he delivered his famous “Dean scream” on national television.

Ex-Vice President Al Gore: His logo has got to be a lifeboat. Since Gore’s greatest fear is global warming, he should make sure to stay close to a lifeboat when the ice caps melt in the next few years which will inundate most of the major population centers on the planet. Let’s hope he knows how to use oars. Oh that’s right … I think he invented them.

Ex-Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt: An appropriate logo for Babbitt is a giant sledgehammer. When Mr. Babbitt was conducting his “War on the West,” he wanted to take out most of the nation’s major dams to liberate our rivers to run free. Fortunately, most of his plans weren’t worth a dam.

Ohio Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich: The only logo that fits him is a weasel. He just looks and acts like a weasel. He’s an anti-war candidate who thinks nothing is worth fighting for, consequently, he has almost no supporters, except perhaps al Qaeda.

Sen. Ted Kennedy: His logo should be a giant mud pie. About once a week, Kennedy makes one of his Vietnam “quagmire” tirades against our President. One of these days, one of those distended purple veins in his neck is going to burst and Massachusetts will have to search for another Kennedy to replace him.

Sen. Hillary and former President Bill Clinton have earned a logo that fits both of them: a U-Haul moving van, because they were co-conspirators in looting the White House furniture, artifacts and silverware on their way out of office. I thought this was symptomatic of their sense of entitlement that they think goes with the reins of power.

I am going to add one more so-called politician to my list, even though he has renounces his membership in the Democratic Party to lead the Green Party. This anti-everything candidate is Ralph Nader. His logo should be an organically grown turnip. He looks so anemic from his vegetarian diet that we need to recognize the “root causes” of his condition.

I will close with one of my favorite quotes from that famous Oklahoma actor and cowboy philosopher, Will Rogers. When asked about his political affiliation, he replied: “I don’t belong to any organized political party … I am a Democrat.”
