Song of the Day 8/21: Steve Miller Band, “Take the Money and Run”

All the Republicans taking part in their upcoming debate can breathe a sigh of relief now that brave Sir Donald has run away. The indignity they would have had to display, fawning over someone they were supposed to be challenging, would have been the ruination of them all.

Donald ducks danger, too. Imagine if three or four of these mooks joined Christie in attacking him. Trump would probably erupt in rage, which might awaken some people to how nucking futz he really is. No, I can’t really imagine it, either. You could gather all their vertebrae together and it still wouldn’t add up to a spine.

I’m sure Trump’s hardcore minions will find Fishstix Hitler’s bonfireside chat, which ought to be accompanied by 800-number donation lines. Because in the end, everything is a fundraising opportunity. Steve Miller will tell you what this is truly about.
