Will The Clown Car Pick Up This Hitchhiker?



Well, my stars (and bars), where's the fainting couch?  South Carolina Sen. and "Robin" to Sen. John McNasty's "Batman" Lindsey "Huckleberry J. Butchmeup*" Graham is fluttering his eyelashes and flirting with the idea of running for President.   Butchmeup has been all over the Sunday poo-flings of late, opining on how we need more war in the Middle East, how the increasingly robust economy has nothing to do with President Obama's policies, how "Obamacare" is a job killer despite several years of job growth, and how he never sent an email in his life, no ma'am.  Now that he's visited early primary states Iowa and New Hampshire, the Senator may be joining the Rethuglican nomination clown car soon, which is already stuffed with neocon war hawks.  However, we're glad to see Sen. Butchmeup throw his parasol into the ring, because we can always use a few more laughs.
