he's one scary dude. As rabidly RW conservative Xian as Cruz but in a much more attractive package. Except for when he's shooting himself in the foot (like here) he presents himself as a much more normal person. But he's as crazy as any of the best of them.

Chuckabee couldn't help but be out onstage holding a press rally for Jesus. Kasich stayed below the surface with his religious insanity against women.

the press ignores it, thrilled with his down-home 'charm' and oh-shucks manner.

who believe their Bible gives them special knowledge that makes [even dumbheads like] them far wiser than even, or actually especially, very highly educated and experienced people.

Strikingly, all of these people have almost no intellectual curiosity so that years of education and even a lifetime of exposure to world events in W's case just don't "take." They arrive on the national scene as ignorant as two bags of broken hammers, as I once heard Perry described, but fully loaded with arrogance.

And now we see Kaisich showing unmistakable signs of the same extreme inadequacies. Right-wing politics seem to be breeding these people like rabbits these days.

possibly have forgotten Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin?!! Gee, I wonder if any of these are why the GOP and Kochs think Kasich is unelectable.

can convince people that it's still a 'horse race' the more tune in breathlessly to hear the latest spin. I'm old enough to remember newsmen like Walter Cronkite. What we have now is a bunch of braying idiots.

I'm going to tell Orthodox Jews the meaning of Passover, and I'm really going to fuck it up.

Pathetic.

Either Kasich is a complete ignorant buffoon, or...being that open about that anti-Semitism takes brass balls.

Not enough info yet to chose that category yet. Either way what an idiot
