BUTCH OTTER FOR PRESIDENT

Gail Collins in the New York Times was writing about the curse of Mitt on the Republican race and stumbled wonderfully on the solution. The Republicans are after a fiscal conservative and who better to carry the banner forward than Rude "Butch" Otter, the governor of Idaho.

Butch Otter provides marketing opportunities for a campaign better than Willard Romney or Newton Leroy Gingrich. Sweatshirts "Vote Otter" or mascot otters for the children. This is an opportunity that certainly the teabaggers would love. Vote the Otter--easy to remember.

Rude "Butch" Otter is the solution for a field that is struggling to find traction and something sane to run on.

So today we have Rick Perry's hunting camp named "Niggerhead", something Herman "Pizza Man" Cain finds insensitive. With Obama cleaning up Islamic terrorists, Rick Perry now wants to show he's tough on Hispanics so he wants to invade Mexico to go after the drug cartels. General Pershing didn't have much luck going after Pancho Villa, who later shows up in the Paco Taibo II mysteries.

Chris Christie is being seen as the Chazz Bono of the Republicans, a Christy Whitman who had a sex change. And, Mark Levin warns us he's a 'warmer", someone who believes in climate change. He also is too "liberal" for Herman Cain because he once entertained ideas of gun control and civil unions for same sex couples. And, besides, Michael Kinsley says he's too fat to be president in these lean times.

And Willard "The Mitt" Romney? Well, wasn't Willard the name of the Big Rat in the movie of the same name? Or didn't Marlon Brando as Col. Kurtz captured it about right in Apocalypse Now," Willard, you're just an errand boy...Willard, for some grocery clerks."

Gail Collins is right. Republicans must band together and draft Rude "Butch" Otter for President. President Otter would bring us closer together for the Final Looting of America.

Otter in 2012!!
