Best response to the Iowa GOP
VodkaPundit Stephen Green pens a letter to Iowa Republicans -- and pretty much sums up my thoughts, too.
Dear Iowa Republicans,
I’ll put this in language even your tiny little Iowa brains can understand: What the f*** is wrong with you people?
The news coming out of Des Moines (literally, French for “tell me about the rabbits, George”) tonight is distressing in the extreme. 32 years ago, your Democratic brethren took one look at Jimmy Carter -- the worst 20th Century President bar Nixon, and the worst ex-President ever -- and declared, “That’s our man!”
Three decades later, and along comes Mike Huckabee. Same moral pretentiousness, same gullibility on foreign affairs, only-slightly-less toothy idiot’s grin. Then you so-called Republicans took a look at Carter’s clone and said, “That’s our man, too!”
And by a pretty wide margin.
I’ll give you some credit where it's due: you guys had sense enough to give Fred Thompson a breather, and Ron Paul a pretty solid kick in the (ahem) nuts. But Mike Huckabee? Really? We’ve seen this game before, and its name is... every other single stupid, un-winnable candidate you’ve ever picked -- which is most of them.
So I repeat the question: What is wrong with you people?
All my love, you corn-sucking idiots,
VodkaPundit
PS You're making Iowa Democrats look like Albert freakin' Einstein. How's that feel?
What he said.
There's only one conservative in the GOP race, and it ain't Huckabee, Romney, McCain or Giuliani.
Fred Thompson's still alive and kicking, edging out McCain for third place; on to Wyoming.

You and VodkaPundit have fallen into the media-inspired trap of assuming that everybody living between the Rockies and the Appalachians is a mildly retarded bumpkin with the sophistication of CheezWhiz. Of all the people out here in Neverland, you should know that hanging out at a neighborhood cafe does not actually lower your IQ. You come perilously close to expressing the intellectual elitism you scorn in others.
The Iowans were sophisticated enough to reject Hilary and Mitt. They narrowed the Democratic field by outright rejecting the pseudo-candidates. If they backed Huckabee it was because Thompson started too late to get the attention of the conservatives.
Get a grip, Mike.
