I want Death-Cage-Debates, two go in, one comes out. The ten person lineup is a total waste of time. Congressman Crackpot reminds me of Barney Fife, without the bullet. Mitt reminds me of Data. I always liked Data, even if he wasn’t human. Tommy Thompson reminds me of a recently deceased tree. If you were to ask me about Gilmore’s execution last night, I would say I’m in favor of it. Brownback has a real shot at Assistant Undersecretary of the Black Lung program, or something similar. Terrible Tommy Tancredo is a really a nice guy (he’s from my home state), and would make a good post in that fence he wants to build. The only thing missing from McCain’s outfit was several steelies to click together in his hand. Huckabee has promise as he can name a jam after himself. Rudy is a one-trick pony, but it is one hell of a trick. Duncan Hunter doesn’t remind me of anything, which is not a good sign. He is competent, thoughtful, and has a lot of good positions, but seems like the second stringer who never quite gets in the game. A good VP candidate?
Oh well, it’s early, and several of them show some promise. At the very least we can say, “Nine out of ten Republican candidates are on America’s side in the War on 7th Century Nutbags.” That’s reassuring.
