Dog: 3 / Stepford: 0

My Governor, Linda Lingle was on Conan OBrien with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog,
Triumph: Bush was better tonight. I like his strategy of replacing stuttering with stammering.
Lingle: Well, you know, it’s very hard to stand next to someone and hear them distort your record or say things that just aren’t true. Tonight, Sen. Kerry said that he had never met with the Black Caucus. That simply wasn’t true. …

Triumph: Did he really meet with the Black Caucus?

Lingle: He did meet with them at the White House.

Triumph: Seriously, I mean, come on, Bush and Black Caucus – they go together like Yasser Arafat and circumcision.

Lingle: (Blacks are) top leaders in the nation. Colin Powell, our secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice are judged on merit.

Triumph: … You know what Bush won me over with? When he indicated that Kerry changed his mind. I think the 83rd time was finally a charm for me.

Lingle: I think the most important time he changed his mind was when he refused to fund the troops in Iraq, a critical situation for our country to be successful there. (Dubiously) It’s good to see you tonight.

Triumph: Thank you for your time. Have a safe trip back to … Stepford!
