When non-political folks I talk with mention Lurch, I mostly grumble about what a self-aggrandizing phony he is, but they mostly mention his, er, mannerisms. Over at Daily Recycler they were entranced by his reptilian tongue darting on Letterman and aside from the snaps I grabbed from them above, they created a poster. Click on Roll Over Gene Simmons for the full story.
I wonder if Lurch's handlers are going to try to coach him on this stuff before the debates? It could be a bigger gross out than Al Gore's makeup. On the other hand the reptilian resemblance fits in pretty well with his sleazy attempt to stir up a draft scare. Take it away Betsy Newmark:
Tomorrow's news today.More by following the links. Looks like the flickering tongue is the real Lurch. I guess we knew that, didn't we?
Yesterday I blogged about an e-mail that was being sent around to college students scaring them with lies that Bush was going to reinstitute the draft. I speculated that either the Democrats or anti-Bush people were behind this and linked to information to show that the only ones pushing for a draft are Democrats.
Now, it seems that this is an orchestrated attack strategy by the Democrats. Kerry today said that Bush probably would have to reinstitute the draft if reelected.
