So DK or someone on his staff has a colorful way with words -- does that make him ineligible for the Oval Office?

Compared to Bush's way with words (or *against* words), I'd say it's definitely a point in DK's favor. I'd much rather hear about the Goddess of Peace than "Ha, ha, Saddam, we found you in a hole," or whatever El Jefe said.
