This has got to be the strangest presidential campaign ever, certainly in my lifetime. Throwing a book in the fire of GOP presidential candidates is Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who almost sparked an international incident by threatening a Quran burning party on the anniversary of 9/11. It was reported that he burned holy books several months later that resulted in a riot in Afghanistan and the deaths of 10 United Nation officials.
He has managed a hotel and started a small church, so he is just as qualified as some of the others running this election. I realize he is not a serious candidate, but then again I didn't think others running this election could possibly be serious or taken seriously, either. I blame John McCain in his act of desperation for all this crazy. Once he selected someone like Sarah Palin as a VP candidate, it seemed to give every crazy permission to strive for a better salary and a Fox News job.
If Jones isn't elected, he has said he thinks Herman Cain, motivational speaker for the last 15 years and current Koch brothers' puppet, would make an excellent President. Herman Cain is selling books so I suppose Jones thought he could sell his books with this announcement. If he gets an invitation then that is a GOP debate I will watch. Geez ... Stay tuned.

McCain's selection of Palin as his running mate definitely lowered the bar. Since Palin finally announced a few weeks ago that she isn't running for POTUS, we are seeing her star gradually fall. I never thought she was running anyway. To me, her "will she/won't she" teasing was just a way to keep her name in the news and to make more money.
Malcolm - Neither did I. Palin would have never happened without a Fox News.
