I hate to upset the media narrative applecart about the GOP race and its limited possibilities. That is, that we have heard from all the possible candidates who will be leaning into the pig trough that is the Republican 2012 field.
However, this morning the window opened up to allow a new bet in the Grand Obstuctionist Party's sweepstakes ...
More under the fold
I usually check Intrade (intrade.com) to get a little politics fix, to watch how the odds are floated around and recalculated. Believe me, there's some amusing stuff between the lines to ponder, like watching Donald Trump's star rise like a doughball and then deflate like a water balloon after President Obama kicked The Donald's sorry birther fat ass.
So this morning, I checked out the category "Who Will Announce They Will Run for President in 2012?" to chortle at the changing fortunes on the Dirty Dozen-plus list of Republican Losers, Jokes, Fascists, Nitwits, Goofballs and Dimbulbs.
Today, the list grew by one name:
GLENN BECK.
I knew this man was a patriot, but I never understood how deep the fire burned in his breast to lead our country at this moment of its greatest crisis, namely, the agony of choosing the worst possible candidate to lead the GOP ticket to self-destruct in full technocolor like the Empire's Death Star.
We could relish a Pointless Palin Pasting or a Bachmann Debacle, a Good and Pawlenty Fail, His Lardship Chris Christie Exploding, a Romney Rout, even the Schmucking of Santorum .
Yet one additional great gift seems to have been placed under the 2012 tree, that of Glenn Beck.
Who knows whether he'll run? Who knows if the One Who Can Bring the Most Crazy will throw his propeller beanie into the ring?
But, today, on Intrade, you can bet your underwater mortgage on the possibility.
