Jeb Bush Does Not Know Secret GOP Handshake
I don’t know what the Republican establishment is. I haven’t learned the secret handshake, and I don’t know where to go for a membership card.

Dole Hopes Gingrich Will Lose
I hope not.

Flashback to Romney’s ‘Blind Trust’ Argument
The blind trust is an age-old ruse. You give a blind trust rules. You can say to a blind trust, don’t invest in properties which would be in conflict of interest or where the seller might think they’re going to get an advantage from me.
— Mitt Romney, in a 1994 debate with Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA). Romney currently defends his own investments on the grounds he can’t control money in a “blind trust.”
Curse of Sarah
He’s still in the race and continues to brawl,
And he’s vowed to stay in, even if he gets mauled.
But while he didn’t intend it,
His campaign, it just ended —

This man has no credibility on any topic. If there ever were accountability on the right, he would be working in the mail room at a conservative “thimk” tank, not running one of the 50 states.
The paradox is that, as recently as last week, Bill Kristol, formerly Dan Quayle’s brain and now the editor of the neocon propaganda sheet, The Weekly Standard, was beseeching Daniels to make a late entry into the presidential race. This provides yet more evidence, though none is needed, that Bill Kristol is seriously delusional.
