Political metaphors (was Re: on ann coulter

I still wonder what your point is, though.  You know, what that means in
relation to the novel.  I got Doug's Gersh/GW interpretation and how it
relates to the novel, to Pynchon, to entertainment, to racism, to
humanity--ohmygod, he went on and on!  But I'm still struggling with your
overall point.  Simple and obvious, but what does it mean in the larger
scheme of things?
