Let's see ... out of the contenders for President we have a Republican Mayor who allegedly cheated on his second wife, now married to his then mistress and having lived with two gay guys for a while in between leading the national polls.
There's a breaking story that John Edwards has a love child. Hillary and Bill? Well, what can I say about that? How about,, Huma Abedin is her body Aide.
Our current President is now a devout Christian who overcame alcohol and purportedly some drug abuse.
Both Senator Biden and Senator Dodd look more like Mr. Furley-types, than presidents.
One Republican is an older movie star with a "trophy wife."
Our last Veep blows up and, whenever he gets close to the political arena, slims down like someone with an eating disorder.
Obama is the product of an inter-racial marriage, Mother from Hawaii via Kansas, who then went to Indonesia and married someone else.
Mitt looks like a down to earth white guy who just can't catch a break - read good natured schmuck.
Oh, and Ron Paul is crazy as a loon, as is Alan Keyes and I haven't mentioned the born again guy from Arkansas who looks like a caricature and wants to save the world.
All this time I've been thinking I was blogging politics, but I might as well have been blogging Big Brother, or some late night slice of reality TV. And I knock the simple minded folk who curl up and watch Oprah all day??? Geesh!
Yes, I've seen the future, the White House is now an MTV beach house on the banks of the Potomac and much of America tunes in.
At least more people might start having some interest in politics, I guess. Only in America, man ... only in freaking America.
My God.


Watch it, son. I made you ALL in my image. That means you, too, Daniel S. Riehl.

Notice how Mitt is the only one who is posited as remotely close to being a normal, well-adjusted individual amongst the supposed freakshow of other candidates.
Me, I'm for the straight-talking former actor with the attractive wife. Go Fred!

Seek - please don't you start in, too. LOL I could support Fred and there's nothing wrong with an old guy having a hottie for a wife. Not as far as I'm concerned. LOL

Fred and his wife are doing a tv commercial aimed at honeymooners. It shows Fred and Jeri standing in front of a backdrop of Viagra Falls.
