Frothy’s precinct captain is lamer than he is. And you thought it wasn’t possible.

If he was really committed to upholding the values of Christ on the cross, he would have stabbed himself with the pen and written Frothy’s name in his own blood.

Speaking of past Iowa caucus winners: it’s a sign of how irrelevant you’ve become when you can announce you’re dropping out of the race and it disappears from TPM’s front page the morning after.

Actually, it did appear briefly on the TPM front page: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/huckabee-drops-out

But you know what happens to stories that don’t get much click traction around here…

“As I was writing down, my pen ran out of ink,” the man answered, turning red in the face. "I was like, I can’t just ask somebody for a new pen while I’m doing this.”

“Buddy, you’re the Santorum dude,” Hayes said with a laugh.

“I know, I know," the chair responded. “Failure to launch, failure to launch.”

Is this code for something?

You need to eat a Snickers!

Shame nobody would lend you a pen … Is Santorum so disliked ? or maybe you ?

In fairnress, Huckabee said weeks ago that if he didn’t place in 3rd, he was dropping out. So it really wasn’t that big of a story.

I think he could not, in good conscience, vote for ol’ frothy. If hell exists, Santorum’s version will be watching that moment, when even his own people treat him as a joke, replayed on a loop for eternity.

Let’s hope this pattern holds in 2020: “Ted Who?”

18

Cruz ‘won’…and here’s hoping he follows Republican tradition of Iowa winners.

Iowa-----where Republicans go to confirm their loser-ness.

His dog ate the ballot wasn’t going to work.
