Bush & Company

On January 15, handsome, smooth, smart, experienced and filthy rich Jon Huntsman was endorsed by Associate Editor Cindi Scoppe of South Carolina's largest newspaper, The State. Hours later, Mr. Huntsman bowed out of his ineffectual race, possibly just a dry run, endorsing "Mittens' Romney, whom he had hours earlier bombarded as an unreliable flipflopper, a job killer and one who enjoys firing people, not someone we would want as president. Endorsement of his former foe stressed that he was the only candidate who could beat Barack Obama.

We may see Mr. Huntsman in the next election cycle, this time conducting a well-prepared, determined campaign.

I'd like an explanation, Jon---
Just what the hell is going on?
The very day Ms. Cindi, who

Gave her endorsement just to you,
You gave a mean slap in the face,
Endorsing Mittens in your place.

The likelihood, in any case,
Is that we'll see you down the road,
This time, in focused campaign mode.
