Angela as Annie . . . yeah but who would play Callista, the plastic dragon lady???
How is it that America has sunk to this lowly status wherein our presidential selection process, at least on one side, has been reduced to a clown show?? Don't we deserve more?

This band of idiots has not a single thing to offer the country by being the President. We all know that their handlers would be pulling the strings for them. The scariest one of all is Santorum. The others are just plain nitwits. I cannot imagine many women voting for any of these women-haters.

callista: the only one in the entire race who has come through this carnival completely unscathed.

that's only because no one has asked her why, as a devout catholic, she was having an affair with a married man.

As usual, Frank Rich knocks it out of the park.

I can see it now: Secretary of the Treasury Donald Trump. Don't be surprised if that is what Romney promised him. Wouldn't that be a hoot?

Of course it's not gonna happen. Barack Obama ought to just sit this one out. Why bother campaigning? Defeating any one of these clowns will be as easy as shooting a school of half-witted fish in a leaky barrel.

The GOP is imploding before our very eyes. Isn't life beautiful?

The reward for Ron Paul cannot be a "job" in government. He wants to reduce government. The reward should be that he gets to eliminate one job in government, say Senator from Caintucky.
I think there are reasons other than Obama inevitability that kept non-clowns out of the race. Look what happened to Huntsman. The GOP & self described conservatives should be ashamed & alarmed, not alarmed over Obamacare, but genuinely introspective about what they have allowed to happen to honorable conservatism, which older people can recall, vaguely.

These mena nd women have said it better than i could don

On the right was a muffin called Newt,

Next to him sat an empty blue suit,

Then came Goody Two Shoes,

And old Howard Hughes,

An incredible assortment of fruit.

Oh, God, I love this column. The Republicans have truly screwed themselves so badly that no one can take them at all seriously anymore. Surely the Democrats can't be so stupid as to mess this situation up even more and give the 2012 election to the Republicans, but the most incredible thing about American politics these days is the massive stupidity of all politicians at the national level. The saddest thing is that the politicians have put this country into such a tailspin economically and politically, that it may be too late to pull out of it. At all levels, economically, politically, educationally, socially, even militarily, this country may truly be past saving. I am concerned that the U.S. may soon lose its superpower status. We are already deemed mad by Europeans who can't understand our economic policies that favor the superrich at the expense of everyone else. And few politicians and few media people will tell the American public just how dire our problems are. What we need is an FDR to state our problems baldly and a Congress with the guts and common sense to want to do something and be willing to lose office for the good of the country. For the first time in our brief history, it may be too late to become again the country that we were in 1945.
