According to reports, twice-failed Republican presidential candidate Willard "Millionaire Mitt" Romney (a.k.a., "G.I. Luvmoney" - h/t Charles Pierce) is interested in another bid for the White House. He let his intentions be known to an intimate group of 30-some fellow Republican plutocrats yesterday in New York City.
The news must have been greeted as the proverbial turd in a punchbowl (albeit a Tiffany punchbowl) by two other presumptive candidates also seeking the big money crowd's fundraising power: John Ellis "J.E.B." Bush and Gov. Chris "Krispycreme" Christie (Cowboy-NJ). As the article notes, relations between the Romney and Bush camps, once cordial, have become "strained." (Ed. note: hee-hee)
What party elders once hoped would be a more controlled march toward the Republican/ New Confederate/ Stupid/ White Supremacist party nomination is starting to shape up as the usual scramble to fill up the clown car. Think about the potential cast so far: Millionaire Mitt, "J.E.B.", Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, George Pataki. At least several words come to mind when reviewing those names, including "scary" and "seriously?"
As for the indispensable- in- his- own- mind Millionaire Mitt, one of his former advisors who is now backing "J.E.B." puts it this way:
“The time for Governor Romney has probably passed. He has already lost twice. The jury is very much out on whether Republican voters would go with him again.”But, you never know which clown is going to emerge last from the clown car.
