Clown Bus Strands Some Clowns

Yesterday's news that several riders on the Rethuglican presidential clown bus will be stranded at the kiddie table for the Fux Bidness Nutwork broadcast debate was bad news for a few never-gonna-be nominees. Loudmouth, pay-to-play bully New Jersey Gov. Chris "Krispykreme" Christie, former Arkansas Gov. and Bible-thumping con man Mike "Huckster" Huckabee, and failed Louisiana Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal are among those who will be fighting for oxygen as their more successful competitors get prized air time with the Fux propagandists.

In particular, Krispykreme has to be extremely frustrated, given the corporate media's favorable reviews of his loud, blustering performance at the recent CNBC debate and his subsequent tick up in some polls. Now, once again he's relegated to join the single digit doofuses in the shadows. The problem with both Krispykreme and "Bobby" is that they have no political "home base" to return to, with their unfavorable ratings in their own States.
