Mr. Reagan, We’re Ready for Our Close-Up

With Fox Noise snapping up Republican leaders to the soft chairs of punditry, will there be anyone left to run against Obama in 2012? Mike Huckabee recently said that his is quite content on being on television.

“It’s kind of given me a new perspective of the power of the media more so than the power of good policy. Running for president did not necessarily cause people to say ‘Oh, I know who you are.’ But being on Fox News has. It’s really embarrassing when you’re running for president of the United States and nobody seems to have any clue.”

Another 2012 Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin is continuing on the celebrity train with an appearance on Jay Leno and even working on creating a TV series, while Newt Gringrich — who is awaiting God to tell him what to do — has created an industry of . . . well . . . being Newt Gingrich. Criticizing from the Roger Ailes lap is easy, but real governing is hard. As we’ve seen time after time, Republicans distaste of government makes them totally ineffectual at governing.  Though the spotlight might bring a glitter and adulation to these GOP celebrities, it can also wilt any real or imagined political power they may have.
