כ Kerry's Sushi Bar. James Taranto of the WSJ's
Best of the Web reports:
As far as we know, the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat,
who by the way served in Vietnam, is right. Wasabi Islam is a
particularly harsh form of Sushi Islam, a religious movement that has
its origins in Japan and foments raw hatred--and combating this scourge
is crucial to winning the war on teriyaki.
The New York Times has an article on verbal miscues by the Democratic
presidential candidates--which, unlike President Bush's errors, the
Times attributes to fatigue rather than stupidity. But one of them we
don't quite get: "In a particularly run-down moment for Senator John
Kerry, the Wahhabi Muslim fundamentalists he frequently mentions in
speeches came out as 'wasabi.' "
Don't forget the roll of California in all this, or how it takes a war hero to have the rice stuff to be President, or how if you put a Wasabi t under pressure he is apt,
like
Howard Dean,
to lose his tempura.
