And, from a practical point of view, you never want to deprive the opposition of its potential for jumping the shark. A "Bush Urinal" may be a politically acceptable statement now, but in a few years I suspect the market will be considerably reduced. By then Obama voters may be as hard to find as those who pulled the lever or dimpled a chad for Carter. By the same reasoning I object to a constitutional amendment banning flag burning. I want to encourage my political opponents to express their point of view thusly. It's so much easier when you opponents marginalize themselves.
