[lbo-talk] Bush hires comic book writer as chief Domestic Policy Advisor

[Chris Doss]

This can't be Marvel. There are no mutants, no
Spider-Man, and Wolverine makes no appearance. If this
were Marvel, the book would be called "Iraq-X,"
"Mujaheed Wolverine -- Iraqi Insurgent," or "Peter
Parkin vs. Doc 'Allah Akhbar' Ock." There's no money
in anything else. ;)

A dislocated fnboy speaks!

Bush brings a ray of hope to fanboys everywhere:

According to the most recent “What’s New” column
at http://www.bobpark.org/, Bush's old chief domestic
policy advisor, Claude Allen, was caught stealing from
Target (you know, the store) and so resigned. Bush's
new chief domestic policy advisor, Karl Zinsmeister,
wrote for Marvel comics. 

Here's some dialogue from the comic book, Combat Zone:
True Tales of GIs in Iraq, that Bush's new chief
domestic policy advisor wrote. It was lifted from an
Amazon review, which also noted that "[a]ll the
sterotypes are here. There's Duhon, the dumb but
friendly Southerner, Kulzinski, the brawny Pole, Dean,
the third-generation Army brat, Marco, the tough
Texan, Gordon, the wet-behind-the-ears Lieutenant, and
Brown, the token black. I'm pretty sure I've seen all
these guys in a John Wayne movie or three. Oh, right,
Wayne's there too, playing the cowboy sharpshooter.
The dialogue is wordy, freighted with needless
backfill, and just plain corny.":

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
