John Huntsman is crazy

[scandal 951]

From today's This Week on ABC. Interview with Jon Huntsman.

He is crazy. He must be crazy to be running for the GOP presidential nomination and take a pro-science stance. That's the very definition of crazy in today's GOP.

TAPPER: These comments from Governor Perry prompted you to tweet, quote, "To be clear, I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy." Were you just being cheeky? Or do you think there's a serious problem with what Governor Perry said?

HUNTSMAN: I think there's a serious problem. The minute that the Republican Party becomes the party -- the anti-science party, we have a huge problem. We lose a whole lot of people that would otherwise allow us to win the election in 2012.

When we take a position that isn't willing to embrace evolution, when we take a position that basically runs counter to what 98 of 100 climate scientists have said, what the National Academy of Sciences has said about what is causing climate change and man's contribution to it, I think we find ourselves on the wrong side of science and, therefore, in a losing position.

He wants to win the middle. The 1% in the middle.

Wait a second. I thought Global Warming was a communist conspiracy? Could he be the Manchurian candidate?

He did spend a lot of time in China.

I hear Paul Ryan is going to run.

That would be great. I like to see the policy wonk types run. Hopefully he can be competitive with Perry.

I welcome any candidate who is brave enough to reverse the generational theft -

stealing from future generations so that we can live beyond our means.

It's time to let Grandma go.

They need to hire food consultants to keep candidates from setting themselves up like this. I guess it is better than putting her foot in her mouth.

I hear Paul Ryan is going to run.

I wish he would, even if he is unsuccessful it gives him momentum for the next time.

I honestly believe that was Obama's motivation for running in 08 with so thin a resume... to build name recognition for a more credible run.

i think she's in the wrong profession

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

i think she's in the wrong profession

Long fingernails...Check!

Weird expression with half-closed eyes...Check!

Carelessly tossed hair that curiously doesn't cover her face...Check!

Grabbing the sausage at the base with one hand and rubbing it on the side with the other...Check!

Mouth open incredibly wide so that none of the hot juices drip down her face...Check!

She should be a professional eater, isn't that what you were thinking, Chuck?
