Hell, at this point, maybe El Rushbo or Sean Hannity should jump in.
Donald Trump is now tied with Mike Huckabee for first place when Republicans are asked who they support for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, according to a new national poll.
Who’s gonna be his VP? What about Jon Voight or Victoria Jackson? How about Chuck Norris?
Eisenhower weeps.

Oh, dear. Well, at *least* it’s entertaining. In a creepy sort of way.
Whenever I see something like this all I can think of is the lady at the Tea Party rally in DeeCee last year who said, “I only know what my sister tells me. She lives in Arkansas.”
Talk about ignorance, willful or otherwise.
And apparently very proud of this circumstance, as well.
Celebrity candidates flash out quickly these days. Guiliani, Thompson.
I’m guessing Bloomberg…no seriously..or do they hate each other?
Yeah, but they were last season’s celebs. Trump’s part of the new crop. Wait’ll Bachmann taps Lohan for VP.
Now ya got me out of my depth. My total lack of knowledge about pop culture, ya know. :-)
OPRAH needs to announce she’s going to run against Obama in the Democratic primary. Someone, anyone, needs to challange Obama’s right wing conservative/teabagger politics!!!!!!!!!!!
What, yer not groovin’ to Lady Gaga on yer iPod? *g*
there’s a James Trafficant joke in here somewhere
And I was so hoping the ticket was going to be Pawlenty and Huckabee, only because the bumper stickers would be so cool.
T-Paw and Hee-Haw, 2012
Gonna have to rethink it, I guess.
I’d prefer someone who isn’t a multimillionaire and hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck.
707!! Awww, man, I’m gonna hafta do a bowl after that one.
Hahahaha
Oprah publicly endorsed the dude, but after it became apparent that he was a stealth right-winger, she wasn’t willing to rescind that endorsement. Accordingly, I do not see her as real…
Donald Trump done what the Intelligent left should have done,
Donald Trump treats the Tea Party crowd like the idiots they are, the Donald’s knows Obama was born in Hawaii, so what says the Donald! why not act like an idiot and say he may have been born in Africa.
Donald Trump also knows this bunch of nuts will not get smarter anytime soon, because all they do is watch Fox News and listen to Rush Limbaugh. Donald Trump now has a base.
The Joke in the WH called Obama talks to the Tea Party like they are rational and smart, because he is a trojan horse, chasing after the heart of Clarence Thomas not MLK.
the Intelligent left needs to treat the Tea Party like Trump, play and joke with them like they are clowns because they are.
Trump saw some idiots and treated them like idiots
Obama saw the idiots and treated them like they were Albert Eistein.
Some of my African American Peers in DC are now furious with OBAMA, looks like DC for OBAMA crashed landed yesterday.
David Plouffe how is the make over of Obama as Clarence THomas going?
Maybe OBAMA is the Joke and Trump is the one Laughing his head off.
Maybe we should look to Bolivia to learn how to choose our leaders.
Trump embrace the nut bags, I don’t see the nut bags getting smarter, me things Trump has a base.
nut bags only watch fox and listen to rush, once you got them, you got them
The celebrities have flashed out, each in their own way. Owing to their egos that allow them to flaunt their rough edges (or too smooth, fall asleep edges in the case of Thompson).
But I’m not going to argue too strongly one way or the other bc things get nuttier every day.
Back to work.
No war but class war
Namaste
Trump/Spears (Britney) 2012… a combover and a do-over. What a way to run a country…
Thompson was/is such an INCREDIBLE airhead. At least Trump can spit out a good line. Every once in a while.
And Oprah …. *sigh* … you do all know she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, don’t you? She’s very gullible. And it’s not her *business* to be discerning. She and her show and her network are a promotion machine … NOT any intellectual endeavor.
It could have been an early sign of the pure pr of Obama’s campaign that Oprah jumped on board …
Well, then, afraid Oprah doesn’t qualify.
I thought Obama was leading the GOP Presidential field
who cares.
In more impt news THE FED gave 200 million of our tax dollars to wives of two bankers and they didn’t even have to pay it back. if they made money they got to keep it if they lost it the taxpayer paid the losses. Given april 15th is a few days away just one more taxpayer scam courtesy of the FED and govt. Gee bet you can’t wait to pay your taxes all going to good casues
here is the link

God I hope Victoria Jackson runs for office somewhere. Oh, the hilarity.
Always remember, Oprah is a relic of the Reagan era . . .
Can’t bring myself to watch that video.
ah hell, why not Michael Moore at this point ?
This assclown is looking to turn the presidential election process into a circus long enough to make all the attention he’ll get from it into a butt-load of money for himself.
Why the f*ck bother giving him any of the attention he so richly desires but doesn’t deserve?
Comb-over? I thought that was a dead muskrat on his head. *g*
Maybe we don’t deserve a Democracy anymore. The US is clearly filled with numbskull lemmings who learn nothing from the past, ever.
I don’t know how this country can get any more absurd. A nation of dopes.
For Thompson he moved from presidential candidate right into the lucrative field of celebrity shill for infomercials. They know there are a lot of suckers in the land waiting to be fleeced.
(waving)
Trump can not mount a credible campaign. Too many skeletons in his multitude of overly large closets.
I promise you. He’s going to take the nomination and may well take the election. He is the perfect icon for all that average America admires. Trashy celebrity flim flam man richer than Croesus.
OT I now have my wonderful FDL T-Shirt and today got the call!! You all may expect me now to stop the bitching. :-)
Chain Trump to a wall in a basement somewhere and forget about his ass until 2013.
==modnote: no violence==
I’d hate to see the real estate deals start to come to light. Lawd knows there’s some seriously shady shit in his business past.
Trump supports universal health coverage and a tax on the wealthy’s assets. And for stopping abusive Chinese trade practices.
Look it up.
He is better than Zero on many issues.
And you believe him? Donny will fight for higher taxes on himself? I really do not think so.
If the Democrats want to nominate a progressive celebrity, I vote for George Clooney. Even half the teapartiers would vote for him – the female half.
Blew coffee out my nose .. things is digressing at the speed of sound .. what a messed up system .. good luck y’all .. /g
Yes, I believe him.
He isn’t beholden to Goldman Sachs, like Obama is.
He is a populist and puts people first. He isn’t trying to get rich, he is rich.
And his trolls are out in force.
I would direct your attention toward Mikey Bloomberg, who has done a stupendous job of selling out NYC to his rich cronies and real estate developers while cutting services to the homeless, etc. The rich help the rich.
Donald Trump is a billionaire, and is therefore part of the problem.
I know the SAT’s eliminated the analogy questions, but still: A scratch golfer I used to play with had to play once a week with his wife. There were dozens of moments like this: She asked him, Should I use a 6-iron or a 7-iron, and he said, What does it matter?
OUCH .. ex-wife? …
Trump would answer..nevermind that honey…hey Jim, did my wife call?
Congratulations, TS!
It’s Biblical! (“The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”)
Exactly. Everything else is just a distraction to get the real Republican elected… Barack Obama.
Ivy League Corporate Tool v Festering Boil.
Who ya gonna vote for?
By no means, very long happy marriage. Are you alluding to the story of the guy who was playing the 8th hole and took off his cap as his wife’s hearse rode by along the adjoining road?
Clap louder for Tinkerbell!!! Yes, Yes: Tink’s light is getting brighter!!!! I can see it, I can seeeeeeee it!! Keep clapping!!!!!!!!
Ahhhnold Schwartzenegger is a pretty good business man and was wealthy on his on bat when he managed to get himself elected Gov of Ca. Part of Ahhhhnold’s “platform” was that he was already wealthy, so he wasn’t beholden to outside interests and lobbyists – bc he allegedly “didn’t need them” bc he had his “own money.”
A boatload of Cal-leeeeee-fornicators bought Ahhnold’s rubbish hook line & sinker. What a LOAD. Ahhhnold was just as beholden to his richie-rich buddies as anyone else, if not MORE SO.
Ahhhhnold permitted Ken Lay to RIP ME OFF for ginned up energy costs which the CA voters – even the rightwingers – wanted to get that ripped off money back. Well: Nope. Ken Lay got to “go to the grave” with MY money that he ripped off.
There’s loads of other examples of how very beholden Ahhhnold was to his Elitist upper 1% buddies, but my final example was that Ahhhhnold exempted frickin’ YACHTS from being taxed at all when sold to the super wealthy.
Trump’s so rich that he’ll “look out for the common dude/tte”…. Pull the other one, please!
No dice!
Another progressive, intelligent “celebrity”… Matt Damon
Indeed. It’s long been my contention that the PTB & the MOTU fully intend for their fair-haired boy, Obama, to continue the ongoing reign of error.
Trump’s yet another bright shiney object of distraction from how badly we’re being ripped off. Bread and circuses, anyone?? Oooops, except these days it’s just: circuses, anyone?? there is no bread available for the serfs.
That’s not just a bad comb over…It’s the WORST comb over EVER!!!!
Don’t be too surprised if the most serious challenge to Obama comes from a Democrat who switches to Republican (and drapes herself with the mantle of those most-popular Republicans: Teddy Roosevelt, Earl Warren, Ike, Edward Brooke, Jacob Javits, maybe Lincoln), or if Obama pre-empts and switches first.
And yet if he hires Jamie Galbraith, all is forgiven. :o)
Exactly, happily married husband and father counts for a lot in flyover country. Clooney is rich, handsome and charming… and single? Might as well run John Mayer.
Obama wins the Republican primaries, so who is going to run on the Democratic ticket?
Obama’s left ear.
Sometimes you really can be sure the other side is stupid and crazy.
LOL Yes. The Call. first or last.
That’s a really great idea. Someone should leak fake “Secret Socialist Takeover” documents to them or something.
