Easterbrook ponies up

By Aziz P. -
Gregg Easterbrook of TNR fames also the sports fiend behind Tuesday Morning Quarterback (TMQ) on ESPN.

But it's not all fun, games, and hanging with the cheer-babes! He's covering his political bases too:

With the Howard Dean bandwagon rumbling toward carrying two, three or perhaps even four states in the 2004 election, everybody wants on board. Time and Newsweek both had Dean on the cover. The Tuesday Morning Quarterback political action committee, TMQ-PAC, just covered its bases by donating the legal maximum to the Dean campaign.

Am I missing something here?

The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
