Bob Barr!

1:04 pm EST May 12th, 2008 | News | 12 Comments

Bob Barr, don’t let the GOP get you down. Run for president, run hard and to the right, Bob Barr!

The former Republican congressman from Georgia formed an exploratory committee last month and told The Washington Times he has since been subjected to the behind-the-scenes pressure from Republicans not to run.

Mr. Barr says even people who have tried to dissuade him understand why he thinks it important to raise issues from what he calls a “genuinely conservative” perspective and to offer alternatives to the positions of the two major-party candidates.

    This is the absolute last thing that the Republicans need right now – someone who is serious about Republican values…

    So was that very audible gulp “audio-shopped?”

    He’s nutty in his own ways. There have been things he’s said that made me roll my eyes over and over again.

    However… I do give him credit for supporting investigations into impeachment of Bush & Cheney. He also supported the impeachment of Clinton for more reasonable matters like “Filegate.” The guy’s a Constitutional purist…. just nutty.

    I wonder how much of this is Barr trying to repair his karma after leading the wingnut brigades hounding Clinton all those years, by acting now as a spoiler for McCain? After looking at the 8-year clusterfuck of Bush II, is he thinking “I helped destroy Clinton for THIS?!?”

    Anytime Borat says, “My wife,” it’s a safe bet that what follows will be funny.

    What did Barr wake up from a boring game checkers with Nader and Perot and decide his next activity to kill boredom will be to run for president? LOL!

    Must be nice to say “Hey I’m feeling kind of bored today. Think I’ll run for president. That should keep me occupied for half the day.”
