Dean | It's Never A Good Sign ...

… when you’re pandered to by the Washington Post … especially when it sounds like this: Dear Dean Team: Tips on Defusing Your H-Bomb.

Word to avoid: Warts. An ugly word. “I am not a perfect person, believe me. I have all kinds of warts.” Too much information! Witches have warts. Kissing frogs gets you warts. There’s genital warts — don’t want to go there. Presidents do not, should not, have warts. As your candidate the doctor knows, warts are viral and incurable. You just have to wait for them to go away. We don’t have time to wait for his warts to go away. He has to quit talking about them.

And the issues are …. where?

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
