sisyphusshrugged | let us give thanks for John Spencer

who is proving to be the most entertaining Republican candidate we've had in New York State for years (Mr. Spencer is the curiously qualified family values candidate running to unseat Senator Clinton)

John Spencer is bitterly attacking the national Republican Party for not rallying behind his bid to oust Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, complaining the situation reminds him of the combat patrols he went on in Vietnam.

"In Vietnam, one of the most frightening duties any soldier had was walking point. You could hit booby traps or ambushes, but you always knew your buddies were behind you," the former Yonkers mayor says in a radio advertisement previewed Wednesday for The Associated Press.

"Running for U.S. Senate against Hillary Clinton is a lot like walking point. You find out who your buddies are real fast."

National Republicans? Weren't out there in the jungle backing up the soldiers in Vietnam?

I, as they did, defer in favor of Mr. Spencer in this matter.

I am so enjoying this race.
