Bush & Company

Finally, a Republican presidential candidate speaks out rationally. Although he flipflopped early on in his campaign, then kept a low profile, the former Utah governor and ambassador to China has come out of hiding to make a bold counter statement about his competitors' ignorant stands on global warming and evolution.

About Michele Bachmann's promise to bring gasoline prices down to $2 per gallon, Jon Huntsman told Piers Morgan, "We live in the real world. . .And gas prices just aren't going to rebound like that."

Yet almost immediately, he said he would be "the first person to sign up, absolutely" as Bachmann's running mate, though he emailed a friend that he looks forward to "increasing contrasts with my opponents."

As Bachmann's vice president, he would have to do her bidding, relinquishing his principles and beliefs. This sole logical and honorable Republican candidate seems, after all, just another waffling lip server.

Jon Isn't Short for Jonathan

Simply Jon, where have you been?
Never mind, long as you're in,
Heard above the mindless din,
You just might deserve to win.

Once again, let's hear your views,
That you'll honor, not abuse.
Whoops! You spoiled it when you said
That you'd run for veep instead,

Side by side with Ms. Michele,
Whose ideas we know so well.
Maybe you won't mind a bit
When we call you hypocrite. . .

just might deserve to win.
