two of my favorite political philosophers

So maybe it was a little goofy for GWB to name Jesus as his favorite political philosopher, but Anita Dunn, Obama's communications director, has outdone the right-wing slanders about Obama's people being leftists. Apparently Ms. Dunn's favorite political philosophers are Mother Teresa and Mao. One not a political philosopher and the other obviously that wonderful red-book-writing defender of liberty and constitutional government. It would be funny if, you know, these people weren't running two branches of the federal government.
