Goodbye, Jon-John

The least-insane of the loonybirds of the 2012 GOP Goat Rodeo contenders is dropping out of the race. We think Jon Huntsman is just getting serious about being the Secretary of State.

Oh, yeah: he’s endorsing his cousin (or whatever) Willard.

    Not much mileage in playing the sane one in a GOP primary.

    You have to wonder where he thought he could find a market for reasonably sane.

    Mr. Huntsman was doomed from the start, not passing the BSC* Test. Willard is thrumming his lips and pretending, so as not to get deemed “sane” and prosecuted as he ought to be.

    But there’s only so long he can keep that shit up, as the Main Event is approaching and the Rules of the Ring are about to change.

    Good Luck, Mittens.

    (On second thought, scratch that. )

    * Bat-Shit Crazy. It’s the new Republican standard!

    Jon who?

    Repugs might have forgiven Huntsman for his brush with sanity if he had played up his status as a billionaire. Repugs love Trump and he makes his living as a game show host.

    Sorry… what is this “Jon Huntsman” you speak of?

    Oh, wait, never mind. Wasn’t he that candidate who nobody gave a shit about except for the media who, for some reason, kept pimping the living shit out of him?

    Yeah, I remember now… the GOP’s answer to Pia Zadora.

    Good Luck, Mittens.

    D’ahhh, why not? Hell, Mitt Obama got the idea for his Historically Historic Healthcare Reform™ — shovel huge giveaways to the pharmaceutical and insurance industries, leave corporations in control, make the purchase of corporate health insurance a condition of citizenship — from Barack Romney.

    Hell, now that I think of it, what’s the goddamn’ diff? Go Mittens!

    Forget about Pia Zadora.

    Huntsman couldn’t satisfy the GOP’s lust for crazy if he peed a Zamboni.
