Reply #42: Bush, Dean, and the Dreaded Y Chromosome

[Hep]

It was revealed over the holidays that President George W. Bush and former Vermont Governor Howard Brush Dean III share a genetic trait known as the Y chromosome. Scientists have not yet discovered any link between this genetic phenomenon and political policy, but Democratic opposition to Dean are concerned.

"Why has the press not talked about this chromosomal issue?" asked Missouri Representative Dick Gephardt in a press release. MA senator John Kerry, also running for the Democratic presidentiual nomination, noted in his own press release that Dean made quite sure that this genetic trait was well known when he attended his draft physical during the Viet Nam conflict.

Political analysts say this is bad for Dean. They claim that if the mainstream press gets wind of this new controversy, Dean's numbers could drop dramatically.

When asked for comment, the Dean campaign replied, "What do you expect? Governor Dean is the only one running who has a set of balls."
