I'll take it! As you know, my bumper sticker theory is more about how political ideas must be reduced down to a bumper sticker if they are going to be understood or effective; if your message is more complicated it will be misunderstood or used against you in a campaign.
I assumed you'd hate the argument he makes precisely because you loathe the reductionism of bumper sticker politics (and really most everything that tries to reduce something complex to a bumper sticker.) Of course that excludes "I Miss Ike. Hell, I even miss Harry."
Every so often I'll see a truck that looks like it, and a few weeks ago I saw one with the same exact configuration -- I actually went to look for the bumper stickers.
I'll always remember that cross country road trip we took in it.
