Charles P. Pierce: "Mitt's looking better and better."
Another One Bites The Dust
By Charles P. Pierce at 11:30am
You know what job had worse prospects for the future than being the No. 3 man in al Qaeda? Having been a Rising Republican Star at the 2012 Republican National Convention. First, Chris Christie delivers the keynote on the topic of Chris Christie, Political Giant. Then, there was Marco Rubio, who was rather like the home team, except that he's taken his act on the road and become a cotton-mouthed stepper on rakes who abandoned his signature issue the first time someone in a tricorn yelled, "Freedom!" Then, there was "Bobby" Jindal, who was supposed to be coming back from his own failed debut on the national stage, only to find himself subsequently slapped around by his legislature, spending state money on creationist bayou madrassas, and trying now to keep David Vitter from succeeding him. I think Jindal may run for president of the United States on the grounds that Louisiana's sick of him. But nobody has crashed and burned more garishly that noted transvaginalist Bob McDonnell, who now faces multiple counts of being a shameless grifter.
The indictment's out, and it's a doozy. It's gooey and icky and full of all kinds of human venality and, worst of all for the McDonnells, their alleged corruption is very easy for the world at large to understand.
