That’s not He of the Law of the Sea Capt. Jack you are referring to, surely?

Look: you don’t actually have to BE corrupt – tell ‘em you completely open to being bought, then stiff ‘em all!

A useful strategy that a lot of wingers have used is to make up an imaginary enemy and run to protect America for them. Remember Tricky Dick and the Red Menace? He made out like a bandit with that. Since it’s so hard to actually think like a winger, you could always try channeling a particularly creative conspiracy theorist, say Jim Garrison. If you’re not into seances, then I’m not trying to be mean here] freep seems to have an unerring sense of what gets wingers into a flap. Plus Obama’s done an awful lot to give Blue Dogs something to run on, so maybe you could get an endorsement from that bunch and combine it with whatever essentially fictional but nonetheless electorally plausible menace that freep suggests.

Really man, I think you have to come up with something: it was you who pushed and pushed for Obama to give Napolitano a meaningful job in WDC, and now there’s this specter of McFraud with only a giant dead cactus standing between him and picking up the mantle of Toobz.

Man, can you imagine running for some office these days? I am surprised as many people as do actually choose to undergo that gauntlet of stupidity and inanity.
