No. Huntsman had some integrity. Georgie's a fairly-realistic puppet.

Can we ignore Ted Cruz? Please?

Also too. The Canadians have someone called Stephen Harper who is a W wannabe. Harper is able to speak in full sentences, in two languages, but otherwise is a full metal nutcase.

You know things are bad when even Debbie Wasserman Shultz of the DNC is forced to poke her head out of her reinforced concrete bunker and actually say or do something.

Obama Derangement Syndrome makes Clinton Derangement Syndrome look like a mere harmless tic. But in all fairness, Bush Derangement Syndrome is still the Derangement Syndrome by which all others must be measured, even in this hyper-partisan cesspool of an internet which can't possibly get any worse but just did because another minute has passed.

And though Pataki substantially lacks integrity, he's still got more than anyone else in the field. More than most put together, perhaps even all. Which still says nothing about him, but a lot about them.

Now who can argue with that? I think we’re all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. I’m particularly glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.
