Politico backs a Bush/Romney GOP Ticket

Roger Simon is in the limo with Bush & Romney taking pot shots at the GOP "clown car" (cleaver, right?) which he claims is now a clown van (LOL). I'd call it a clown short bus, but that's me.



Simon is a shill for GOP establishment talking points and sober minded analysis of GOP political consultant approved conventional wisdom. So let me unpack the GOP clown short bus for him.


  • Jeb Bush - Scion of the most improbable political dynasty in American history - how these Greenwich, CT blue-bloods have pulled it off is baffling.
  • Chris Christie - A fat bully who loves Bruce Springsteen AND the Dallas Cowboys - that's fine for Jersey, but shows deep personal disfunction. Loving either Springsteen or the Cowboys would raise serious red flags, but loving them both disqualifies the candidate.
  • Rand Paul - Ron Paul's son and named after a girl and he does love Liberty but Libertarians scare the shit out of the GOP.
  • Ted Cruz - Cuban/Canadian badass and probably the sharpest knife in the GOP drawer but watching him twist the nuts of the GOP Senate bulls is so much fun that I hope he never leaves.
  • John Kasich - A postman's son (did you know that?), the guy knows how to balance a government budget but I think his personality is too goofy and he does a very strange hand movement when speaking so maybe Sec. of Whatever.
  • Scott Walker - Dragon slayer with a hard-on for Public Sector Unions and a will to win and win and win - The GOP could do worse.
  • Mike Pence - Taller than Mitch Daniels and more articulate than Dan Quayle - even Vox can figure this one out.
  • Mitt Romney - Rich, 2 time looser, Mormon who looks like a President - he "want's to be President" as do they all.
  • Rick Perry - States rights Democrat who supported Al Gore in the 1988 Presidential race and doesn't know what Federal Departments he would eliminate if he ever had the chance - which he won't.
  • Ben Carson - The good doctor basically has zero qualifications to be President of the United States but why should that stop him?
  • Susana Martinez - She's a Hispanic Woman who was an unhappy Democrat until some white men sat her down and explained that she really should be a happy Republican and then she became Gov. of New Mexico which happens to be the bluest of the blue States so...
  • Marco Rubio - The cherub of American Conservatism, he was thrown in the snake pit of Senate immigration working group early on and that was that.
  • Rick Santorum - He won Iowa in 2012, but who gives a damn what Iowa thinks? 
  • Bobby Jindal - The happy warrior from Louisiana will face withering racial stereotyping from the sensitive left - already has - and as we know, they don't let up.
  • Carly Fiorina - Ran HP into the ground, served as "advisor" to John McCain then lost Senate race to a true political hack named Barbara Boxer - She never had children and cut off her breasts in a cancer fight - who knows, she might win.
  • George Pataki - The mayor of Peekskill will get a lifetime pass because he defeated the Sfachime in 1994 and, for him, that's a good thing.
  • John Thune - 6'4" of GOP man who understands Agriculture policy and Commerce - he ain't running for President.
  • Lindsey Graham - Didn't the GOP run Lindsey Graham in 2008? I know it's imperative to win the South Carolina's primary for any Republican candidate to secure the nomination but can you imagine having to listen to that voice for 4 friggin' years!
  • Donald Trump - This man is the prototype loud mouth self-made financier who can say virtually anything and take any position because 1. he's got a wall of money around him and 2. he'll never get nominated. Not serious, but entertaining (you know, a clown).
  • Bob Corker - He actually understands Foreign Policy and President Corker sounds fabulous but I don't see it - stay in the Senate and do your job.
  • Mike Huckabee - See Rick Santorum.
  • Peter King - OOFAH! Fucking Pete King as President?! Sweet Jesus, how did he get on this list? 
  • Bob Ehrlich - Who? (just kidding) I know, I know - Turtle from the turtle state - Lost to (My Favorite) Martian O'Malley who, as the world turns, also wants to run for President for the other team - let's not have a rematch.
  • Paul Ryan - He's already out - Go Scott Walker!


But there's one contender to whom Simon gives special attention. One that strikes fear in the heart of every beltway pundit who ever tapped a keyboard and every K Street lobbyist or political consultant who plays the game.





Roger Simon says this was a "speech of such incoherence that even veteran Palin-watchers were puzzled." You be the judge, but it sounds like classic Mama grizzly to me - shooting wolves from a chopper for the love of the hunt. If I were Roger Simon I'd keep my head down and stay out of her sight.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

The Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal...

Lose This Skin Mika

I've been tempted to post something on the KOTCB blog since the day the Elvis from Queens tweeted about Mika's bleeding face and the ensuing media meltdown flooded the broadcast airways and Internet with gunk. But every frigg'n day @POTUS lets loose another tweet or 2 that usurps whatever I was going to say the day before so I've just been waiting and watching and loving every minute of it. With Sunday's napalm strike he might have finally brought them to their knees - but there's always tomorrow. The latest tweet was immediately condemned by journalists, who said Trump seemed to be promoting physical violence against the media, while a Republican lawmaker said the president was trying to "weaponize distrust" through his postings. "Promoting physical violence" or a tactic to "weaponize distrust" don't explain it folks - this is total war waged by a pachyderm with old, scared hide who's been beaten and whipped for so ...
