Those of us who live in Seattle fell out of love with Dan a long time ago. For some it was his defense of the shooters at Columbine (serves those bullies right!), for others it was his declaration that all bi-sexuals were just confused homosexuals. But nearly everyone who may have had a little soft spot in our hearts for Dan had an icky feeling when he came out FOR the war in Iraq.
Because, near as we can figure it, he believed that since Islam doesn't like gays, gay marriage, or gay adoption, all Muslims are opposed to him, and by extension everything good. Therefore, bomb the hell out of the Iraqis. That'll bring them around to our Western values!
Which means that he's as insipid and uninformed a single-issue voter as your most virulent pro-Lifer.
Oh Dan. Go back to being cute and saucy. Superficiality serves you well. Profundity doesn't.
