As political jiujitsu goes, the release of Kevin Stone's Pat Robertson And Friends Coloring Book couldn't be less threatening to its targets. Robertson seems washed up to me, a slightly stale punchline for a liberal standup routine.

Not that the coloring book isn't funny in spots: the whole "Robertson can leg press 2,000 pounds" bit, for example, reminds me of that dork from Yale whose video CV showed him "benchpressing" 500 lbs. [Actually, it shows his three musclebound spotters straining as they "help," but self-delusion is part of the package.]

if the coloring book itself doesn't have teeth, it certainly inspires toothiness. check out the book "colored in" at Powells.
