Another Clown To Enter The Clown Car
So far, we’ve heard rumors about the following Republicans exploring a run for president in 2012: Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Rudy Giuliani, Rick Santorum, John Thune, Mike Huckabee, Roger Ailes, Michele Bachmann and even Glenn Beck. Well, the clown car is about to get more crowded. Enter Lou Dobbs:
Ex-CNNer Lou Dobbs tells WTOP this morning that he feels “liberated and emancipated” since leaving the network — and he’s not ruling out the possibility of running for president in 2012.
When one of the WTOP anchors joked that pundits were floating the crazy idea of the immigration-fixated Dobbs running for president, he shot back: “What]s so crazy about that?” — and disclosed that he’s talking to advisers to suss out his political options.
“For the first time I’m actually listening to [people who want him to run for office]. … I don’t think I have the nature for it. … But we’ve got to do something for this country.”
With TV personalities like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs in the field what are the rest of the Republicans going to do and how will they get attention? Watching that group try to out crazy each other will be really interesting, that’s for sure.

How will head of the Republican Party Rush Limbaugh take all this news?
i still think palin/beck would be the best
Beck isn’t running though he would have the best organizition in the country with the 9/12 project. That is why people speculate that he may run. In many areas the 9/12 project is larger and more active than the GOP. Why would a guy set up a shadow political party and not run, say the insiders. They don’t get it. It is about America not Beck.
He would much rather be King or Queen maker than King and actually govern.
As for Dobbs, he should run for Senate in NJ if Lonegan doesn’t want it. Dobbs is too liberal to be the nominee for President. We need someone a little more pure. He is too far left on abortion and gay rights.
And here we encounter another persistent delusion — that there are more of them than they think. Just because the 23%ers can make alot of noise, doesn’t mean that they are more than 23%. And it is still true that the 23%er wingnut fringe scare independents for reasons that ought to be awfully obvious. But hey — this is from someone who thinks that Christine O’Donnell actually has a chance to be elected to something. A willing passenger on the GOP Clown Car.
In many areas the 9/12 project is larger and more active than the GOP.
Like Delaware, for example.
Yes, and taken together, the RNC and 9/12ers are motivating people like me to wake up and take a stand against them.
Thank you, conservatives and arch-conservatives, everywhere.
there are only arch conervunists now. they have boiled their movement down to a stinky hot tar, and they are going to try use that poison to overthrow the duly elected (by almost 10 million votes) government. Because wingnuts can only love america if wingnuts are running it.
Ha, RD is still munching on those ‘shrums.
But they think there are more of them because FOX keeps showing the wrong tapes.
I find it hard to laugh. This is a country that elected a mentally retarded man from Texas because he was able to win the GOP nomination. And yet it is nearly impossible to imagine Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Roger Ailes, Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, or Loose Dobbs somehow getting elected.
But imagine if one of them did win. They are aggressively ignorant of American history and traditions. Any one of them would declare martial law on day one in order “to do something for this country.” On day two you’d hear Republican David commenting about how great the new Martial Law Freedom is.
When I first read that comment by Republican David I thought he was joking. I guess the biggest joke is that he is dead serious, or dillusional.
Will all Enormous Egos please report to the Republican Presidential Contender Room, that is all.
