FUCKABEE, SCHMUCKABEE, SUCKABEE, YUCKABEE, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF LUCKABEE

So Romney has dropped out of the race. Too bad -- I enjoyed the double bulls-eye of Mormonism & the name "Mitt." Now McCain's weird gerbil jaw & the obvious (and not-even funny) pun "Fuckabee" are the only two easy go-to's I have left in the arsenal.

Now I actually have to think, get creative, in order to make jokes that none of you'll laugh at anyway because they aren't even remotely funny. This blogging shit ain't easy.

But under the "No Joke Required" category, we now learn from AP that professional asshole & part-time evangelist James Dobson has endorsed Mike Huckabee:

The remaining candidate for whom I could vote is Governor Huckabee. His unwavering positions on the social issues, notably the institution of marriage, the importance of faith and the sanctity of human life, resonate deeply with me and with many others . . . . Obviously, the governor faces an uphill struggle, given the delegates already committed to Senator McCain. Nevertheless, I believe he is our best remaining choice for president of the United States.

Question remains, however, will he he still heart Huckabee if, and when, Maverick McCain tabs him as his running mate. And that question isn't moot; the ability to get out the evangelical vote is a big part of why Old Man John would pick Huckabee. If big time power players like Dobson refuse to back McCain, then the downside of a wacko fundamentalist on the ticket becomes too large.

Hmmmm. Power games galore. Welcome to America, Version 0.8. Where men with views such as this . . . or this . . . or even this, have undue control over the selection process for our national leaders.
