on the Republican side begins to look very possible.
How about a Trump-Gingrich vast-ego candidacy, with a regressive-tax, undilutedly-1%-favouring, pro-smoking, strange-looking-hair, bad-idea-a-minute, anti-journalist, let's-start-a-war-with-China-or-get-a-new-wife campaign; and Hermann Cain as the smiling genius Treasury Secretary-in-waiting? With Nine-One-One as the tax rate on the new no-minimum-wage, child-labour-dependent economy.
And a Paulist, isolationist, libertarian, pro-gold, running-scared-of-hyperinflation, back-to-a-barter-economy, guns-in-the-basement, no-freeway-permitting, privatised-police-force, strict-constructionist, eighteenth-century-loving faction?
With Romney-Huntsman as the Rovian Republican, Mormon-underpants-wearing, in-Wall-Street's-pocket, extremely-handsome, fine-head-of-hair, never-had-to-worry-about-anything-but-whether-to-hire-a-third-sous-chef, flip-floppy choice?
And, after a public reconciliation, a Bachmann-Palin candidacy, representing the fundamentalist, gun-totin', wolf-killin', flag-wearin', common-sense-claimin', pro-Limbaugh, anti-intellectual, anti-Moslem, hockey-mom-lovin', yes-we-really-do-embrace-torture thinkin' right?
