Don’t know why he’s walking away from this one. Seems like the perfect pitch for the republican primary.

Walsh: Donny wants to expand background checks. I want to hand out guns to toddlers.
NRA: We love it!

Ah, trying to prove he’s the Republican sanity candidate. This waste of skin spins like a weather vane. And his hubris is amazing. Joe Walsh for president? Really? Joe Walsh? He makes Moulton look fit for the job.

But I’m glad he’s running. It will gnaw at Trump, and that’s great by me.

Joe Walsh is a walking, talking joke. Do I like that he is calling out the worst of Trump? Yes, but isn’t it strange that his so-called conversion and apologies are coupled with a blatant, opportunistic run for the Presidency? Why doesn’t he just speak out and expose Trump for what he is?

When you’re called out by Sacha Baron Cohen — on what is this, day three of his “campaign”? — you know you’re going somewhere fast.

Why not? He no longer smokes or drinks and, doggonit, life’s been good to him so far.

He has a limo and rides in the back.
(Note: He keeps the doors locked in case he’s attacked. But back in the good ol’ days he rode in the trunk and kept the lid shut in case he got drunk.)

Now I’m wondering if really we want another president with hotel experience(s).

Fun Fact: Walsh once toted a chain saw as part of his tour gear. When the Anvil® company got wind of it it built him a custom road case for that essential piece of equipment.

It’s time for everyone to watch this again:

…introduces specially selected children from 12-4 years old to pistols, rifles, semiautomatics and rudimentary knowledge of mortars…

One of the only things I can say in favor of Trump having a functioning brain is that when Cohen tried to interview him as Ali G, Donnie immediately left the set.
