We're always glad to see Fritz Mondale, that loveable old war criminal. As Senator, he helped out in a cheerful manner with the Vietnam War (another "liberal" who supported it until the Nixon seizure) and voted on the embargo which destroyed the Biafran people. As Vice-President, there's some delightful file video of him standing behind that wretched hypocrite, Jimmy Earl Carter, signing the treaty which armed the Indonesian army and we're sure that 250,000 dead East Timorese are grateful to old Fritz as he grinned and nodded his head. Yes, we always greet Fritz with a big "Howdy, thug!" whenever we run across him at the local Starbucks or over at Macalester College. For some reason, he's not so friendly. Maybe his conscience bothers him from time to time.
