I know I'm soft, but I kind of feel bad for Bush in that clip (and I agree it's intentional humour) - he knows the game is up, no-one could watch him walk around that stage for 5 seconds and think he would ever be president.

He's half wondering, as he walks, whether it's a sin to pray that his father dies before finding out that his sons average a one-term president. He'd quite like to choke Marco Rubio to death, out in front of all the cameras.

But he always hates this part of the speech, he doesn't want to be the commander in chief any more than he wants to be Miss World. And Jesus, they can't even give him a decent last line: "to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world" - what the hell is that?

While Trump's Cruz-related hissyfit was executed in a juvenile way, I have also read that there's actually some shrewd calculus behind it.

Viz., Carson's evangelical supporters are indeed likely shift to Cruz, as the next godliest choice. But they may NOT shit to Cruz if they're shown that Cruz is a dishonest, scheming asshole who stabbed Saint Ben in the back. Trump (the theory goes) doesn't necessarily hope to win over evangelicals himself, but he sure as hell doesn't want them all coalescing around Cruz. If that's the kind of 3D chess the Donald is playing, it's clever.

But personally I don't think he sees in any dimensions other than "is this about me, or is it about something other than me?" Anything that is not about Trump is anathema, and must be shifted so that it becomes about Trump.

um, "may NOT shift to Cruz." Unfortunate typo.

He looks so clammy. Nixon may have broke a sweat, but he never looked like he needed a bypass two days from now.

I find that my brain always wants to construct a portmanteau of 'squamous' and 'unctuous' as a descriptor of Cruz.

That doesn't look so much like he needs a bypass as much as it looks like he needs a tube sock or a wash cloth.

6) Mitt Romney and his sons saved a family and their dog from drowning: Mitt Romney saw people in trouble and he didn't wait for the government to save them, he made a REAL gutsy call, and did what he had to do to save their lives.

He made a REAL gutsy call to not watching a family drown from the back porch of his lake house.

No, it was the Huckabees who killed the dog. Romney just drove across the country with a dog on his roof.

Was this the aforementioned "REAL gutsy call"? Do mormons practice sacrifice?

Courteous as ever, he took me to see something framed on the far wall... a pleasant riverside watercolor study presented itself. I recognized every curve of the oak trees and the long grassy slope of the meadow. "This," Dutch breathed, "is where I was a lifeguard for seven (sic) summers. I saved 77 lives. And you know, none of 'em ever thanked me!"

drunk (brain damage?) guy just came in waving a nikki sixx book at me and then he started ranting about the convenience store that closed and the damn "aye-rab" who ran it and i said i think he was from Pakistan and he said YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN and then he called him a jarhead and i said i think you mean towelhead but that's still not quite right...and he said YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN and it was kinda hard to understand him cuz he was missing some teeth.

i'm STILL being punished by a christian god for laughing at that new york magazine thing!

god bless murica.

I cannot get enough of these delicious Cruz anecdotes. Gotta give it up to Rubio for the best burn: "Ted has had a tough week because what's happening now is more people are learning about him."
