BODY:
    The Bush campaign has dissolved into a whiny puddle. The Austin
team put out a press release Friday bawling that Joe Lieberman was a
big meanie to compare Governor Bush to
Barney Rubble.

You'd think, after the risible rift between Dan Quayle and Murphy
Brown, that Republicans would know better than to whinge about
fictional characters.
