As all of the Republican TV celebrities drop out of the 2012 presidential race so they can keep fighting the good fight against the librul media, you can literally hear the teeth of the major GOP donors gnashing in agony knowing that their contributions will probably go to Tim Pawlenty's new hockey porn site or Newt Gingrich's Tiffany's fund. One lobbyist describes the elite GOP to Politico thusly:"It's not that they're up in arms. It's just that they're depressed." So when the Long Island Republican Committee says in a press release, "NASSAU GOP SUPPORTERS CHEER 'KING FOR PRESIDENT,'" it's treated like Republican Prozac in the papers.
Chairman of the committee, Joseph Morello, describes Rep. King as "honest, candid and direct," when dealing with "the liberal press" and their "rules of political correctness." King doesn't "speak from a pollster's cue card and understands the twin threats facing this nation: the debt and the ongoing war on terror." Yes, nothing will ease tensions in the Middle East like a few congressional hearings focused around an entire demographic's religion. And if you squint really hard, he almost looks like JFK!*
Unfortunately for the human race, King's initial response of "Let's see what happens" is not an indication that he would run. He feels that Morello's name-dropping was to "be able to bargain at the convention" and that he's "not going to Iowa, not going to New Hampshire, I'm not forming an exploratory committee." Still, couldn't he just throw us a bone and pointlessly flirt with the idea the way he's so pointlessly flirted with other campaigns before? "But, King told Politico, he’d be interested '“if it takes off.'” All hail the King!
