Apologies for the panic-inducing title, I just wanted start out with a bang…
John McCain proved Saturday that Republicans might forgive and forget everything: supporting a doomed war (Iraq), opposing the party's top goal (deporting brown people), and an offensively normal blond blogger daughter.
Former Clinton guru Dick Morris sent out a great quote in his daily e-mail this morning:
“The biggest loser in South Carolina was Rudy Giuliani. He now must face a resurgent McCain in Florida who steals his votes away. Rudy is a bit like the guy who went away to college and came home to find that some other guy had stolen his girl.”
Ouch. But then again, who’d steal Judy Nathan?
What does all this mean for the future of our nation, which The Onion believes is in its final year? And more importantly, who do we have to see about banning Fred Thompson from ever running for office again? The guy is about as exciting as my last colon exam, and believe me, I was very much not aroused.
These and more questions will be answered by Yours Truly, the new National Political Correspondent for Hooksexup. We'll be concentrating on specific issues that have vaguely nothing to do with Hooksexup (but I'll throw in a crazy Mike Huckabee abortion comment every day or so, just to stay relevant.)
