That Huckabee screen grab looks like he's been using a tanning bed.
It looks more like he's doing a poo on a tanning bed.

Was busy mulling over with my team whether or not I should also run for president. We did some informal polling and came up with "maybe." Gotta make a billion dollars first, but I have a few strong leads. Give you a hint: I'm putting a lot of money into Mexican wall bricks.

I heard Rubio declare that President Obama had 'systematically destroyed everything that made this country great'. I would have appreciated more details, especially regarding the greatness of the USA under George W. Bush.

i do kinda like watching the mirror image of trump and bizarro-trump sanders. both fueled by indignation. so hard to keep that up for an entire race. people have the energy for it early on and then it's like eating too many hateburgers. indignation turns into indigestion. clinton needs to ignore it all. keep talking like a monument. bill clinton as first lady...whoduh thunk it!? he's gonna be roaming the country on a goodwill feelgood mission! lock up yer daughters, amerikkka!

yeah i don't care how bad u think obama was (and i think history will bear out that he was a great POTUS) GWB presided over the greatest terrorist attack on American soil in history, the Great Recession, and at least one catastrophic + useless war.

(preaching to the choir i know)
My daughter asked me the other day about various presidents, and whether they were good or bad. Nixon, it was sort of hard (thinking retrospectively) to convey that he was a psycho criminal kicked out of office who nonetheless achieved some great, lasting things. But when I got to GWB, I started listing all the shitty, shitty, destructive things he did or oversaw, with lasting ill effects, and it still blows me away.

Reagan really got the ball rolling. But he wasn't as bull in a china shop as Bush. Like, Regan fucked things up, but intentionally. Bush it was a cross between delegating to hit men and incompetence.

funniest conversation I overheard in a bookstore:
Little boy: We should buy this book about Ronald Reagan for mom.Father: I don't think so. Your mom doesn't like Ronald Reagan.Little boy: Why? My teacher said he was a best president.Father: No! What are they teaching you? He was the worst president.

Well, he got kicked out of office at least. Reagan and Bush did worse, and even more illegal stuff, and got two terms!
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 January 2016 18:57 (eight years ago) link
I mean, gah, Bush getting in on a Supreme Court decision! It's just mind-blowing how bad it all was, from minute one!
it really was the worst of all worst-case scenarios. all of bush. every ounce of bush.

recent new yorker profile on kerry had some quotes about how he will never get over the idea that there were voting irregularities in ohio
― Mordy, Friday, 29 January 2016 19:06 (eight years ago) link
For a long period, after 2004, every time he even half fell asleep all he saw was voting machines in the state of Ohio,” Mike Barnicle, a close friend of Kerry’s and a former columnist for the Boston Globe, told me. This summer, Barnicle spent time with Kerry on Nantucket, where Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz, have a house on the water and a seventy-six-foot, seven-million-dollar sailboat called Isabel. “We were sitting in the bow,” Barnicle recalled, “and we were talking about a bunch of different things—about Iran, about what the President of Iran was like—and I said, ‘Other than not being President, this is pretty good.’ There was a security boat sailing off to the side of us. Then he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, I realize how badly Shrum screwed me.’ ”
