Lick Bush & Dick in '04!! In an effort to be fair to the Republican party I decided to come up with a pro-Bush/Cheney slogan along the lines of the OP. I’ll post it as soon as it comes to me… ---

The unstated premise behind the humor intended in the OP is actually the same as the one behind… **bughunter’s principle of political prurience** > [@](#): > > In any given contest for elected office, the candidate with a name more conducive to sexual innuendo and off-color jokes will be the victor. Thus, a Bush will beat a Gore any time. > [@](#): > > Corrolary: At no time in any contest may either campaign or the media acknowledge the potential for innuendo with respect to either candidate’s name. I’m just waiting for [Dick Wackenhut](http://www.wackenhut.com/) to run against [Mike Hunt](http://aikenonline.com/stories/033104/new_hunt.shtml). (Aiken, SC – home to Sheriff Mike Hunt – is the SC town in which I was born and raised. Sheriff Hunt’s campaign slogan in 2000 was “Mike Hunt – Accessible To You.”)
