An opening for the Dems

The last line of Ms. Eaves' OpEd piece in the Times is:

A reasonably priced lap dance is not a right.

Coincidentally, a few minutes ago I was reading a post on the Washington Monthly blog by Kevin Drum, "Political Animal," about how the Congressional Dems have been meeting to find a national slogan on which to base their '06 campaigns to try to retake Congress. The current thinking is between "Together, We Can Do Better" and "Together, America Can Do Better."

But just think how it would reverse the gender gap to run on:

A reasonably priced lap dance IS a right!

THAT would get Joe SixPack's attention! Ms. Eaves may yet save our nation....
