Mitch Albom: Can't fathom The Donald as presidential
I'm not an unqualified Mitch supporter by any means, but he nails it here:

There are two ways you can walk with Donald Trump -- toward him or away from him.

There are two ways you can hold a camera with Donald Trump -- facing him or facing away.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why people don't choose the second choice ALL THE TIME. Why does anyone care what Donald Trump has to say -- unless he's your landlord? The only question anyone should ask Trump is: "The hair -- why?"

Instead, Trump is given credence in some circles as a presidential candidate. A presidential candidate? This only proves that as a nation, we are becoming so addicted to celebrity it is soon going to replace plasma in our bloodstream.

Donald Trump as president? Really? You are really going to make that argument? Based on what? His stellar business record?. . . http://www.freep.com/article/20110501/COL01/105010431/Mitch-Albom-Can-t-fathom-Donald-presidential?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

1. I'm all for a new meme
"That donald", rather than the utterly absurd and ego inflating "the donald".
