8. Hell

I'll take half of whatever Ben Stein is smoking, as long as I can chase it down with an India Pale Ale!

Governor Cornpone is lucky to be in charge of Mississippi, anywhere else, he'd be laughed at.

Look carefully, and you might be able to pick him out.

12. There should be a point at which a person's claims become so ludicrous,

they cease to be considered "experts" and no longer appear in the media. Doesn't happen that way, however.

13. Let him. And put Palin on the ticket. That would be a sure winner for the Dems.

But then again, if some folks voted in a guy who had white supremacist ties, it wouldn't be such a stretch for some idiots in America to vote in the Grand Wizard of the Republican party.

21. Barbour-Palin: The Dream Ticket. Seriously, the republicans with the convention votes

will not abide a ticket without Palin on it. The teabaggers at their convention would go berserk.

14. Barbour is the money man in the RNC

He ran the operation when the southern Repubs cast the New England Repubs out for not being God fearing enough, tax cut tax cut tax cut, and....well you know the rest.

Barbour had more to do with making them the "Party of the South", as E.J. Dionne so accurately expressed 3 years ago, than Rove could wish to be.

28. Haley Barbour has as much chance as a milk jug

America wasn't quite ready for a black president.

They sure as hell aren't ready for an ignorant cracker like Barbour.

30. Dimson=ignorant. Was 'cracker' precluded because he

wasn't born in MS? Or born in CT? Or lives in TX? What's the definition of 'cracker'?

33. I beg to differ...

...There have been Southern presidents in the past. Jimmy Carter had as strong an accent as Barbour -- different, but still strong -- and while he caught flack for his origin, he didn't raise the primal hatred Obama has.

There was no Tea Party uprising under our last two Southern Dem presidents.

What has been stirred under Obama has been nearly unmatched by predecessors.

31. We need to start a fake whisper campaign that we're secretly afraid of a Barbour challenge...

"Man, I sure hope Haley Barbour doesn't run. He would beat Obama for sure!"

34. So could Ben Stein.

In fact, so could I. Krispos42 in 2012!

Hmmmm... I'll need a running mate. Aha! My cat! She's old enough (in cat years)! Krispos42/The Fluff 2012! :woohoo:

The presumption of credibility is misplaced here. Tell me, Mr. Stein... when did you stop eating bacon cheeseburgers?
