Cartoon Candidates

It's official. I've OD'ed on gubernatorial debates and the four Massachusetts candidates. Last evening, watching the penultimate preening and posturing, I transcended (or descended).
It started with Kerry Healey. She still looks like an afghan hound, long snouted and pointy. But suddenly that move-by-itself hair focused. Hula...skirt. The woman has a hula skirt on her head.

Then before I could stop myself, from left to right from her, I saw:

• Christy Mihos as a gray Chia Pet.
• Deval with his intermittent glowers as a temple dog.
• Grace Ross with her big spectacled roundness as Mrs. Potato Head.

Help me. There's another televised debate on November first. Clear these distracting images, please.
