Last
month, WTOP talk-radio host Bruce Alan gleefully
questioned Mark Warner, "If you could run again
for governor, would you?"
"Yes,"
said an enthusiastic Warner.
So,
the Mollycoddle is willing to run for Virginia
governor again, but only if he doesn't run for
president first. But he has ruled out a run against
the Mouthpiece, err ... before he knocks my soft
teeth down my whining throat, I respectfully meant
to say Sen. George Coach Allen.
By
the way, popular Sen. Allen is considering a run for
president as well.
How
interesting? An impending battle of Virginia
political titans waits with the Mollycoddle vs. the
Mouthpiece positioning their political muscles on
the national scene.
Is
Virginia the 2008 mother of presidential candidates
or what!
Allen
is a good communicator, delivering some of the best
one-liners in politics. In the Commonwealth, George,
known in conservative circles as "Little Gipper,"
is a popular Republican, and Mark, known by the Blue
Dog as "Little Manipulator," is a popular
liberal Democrat.
Democrat
Warner's high ratings as governor attest to his
unique political gifts to manipulate the voting
public, in light of his lobbying efforts for an
unneeded, historic Virginia tax increase. With his
ability to spend a billion-dollar surplus despite
double-digit state revenue, Warner's skills are
truly unmatched.
Unsurprisingly,
Virginians don't hold Warner accountable for his
campaign promises not to raise taxes and ending the
state car tax. His business-like approach to running
state government turned out to be a media-marketing
tax-increase blitz.
The
future of the Democratic Party? What a joke!
Northern
Liberal Democrats, such as presidential hopefuls
Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, can only stand in
Warner's tax-and-spend shadow. Warner mockingly
attacks them for perpetuating federal-government
programs, while he increases his own state-
government budget expenditures. In
groundbreaking national news, Warner became the
first state executive to order DNA testing for an
already executed convict, but most insiders view his
move as politically motivated along with being a
precursor for a death-penalty moratorium... Because
Warner has set the legal precedent for the DNA
testing. After
Warner’s State of the Commonwealth address and
introducing his $72 billion two-year state budget,
His Excellency held a blanket party for felons. A
blanket party? Err ... as the words soft on crime
come to mind. In one fell swoop, Warner restored
civil rights to 3,500 freed felons - a blanket
amnesty unmatched in the annals of Virginia history. Is
there a DNA proof-positive test for a conservative
southern Democrat, err ... I meant to say liberal
Democrat? In
The Times-Dispatch, Warner was said to have
indicated that he "would not have chosen Judge
Samuel A. Alito Jr. as a U.S. Supreme Court
nominee," and that Theodore Roosevelt was his
role model for president. In
the same article, former advisor to presidential
candidate Al Gore and political consultant Donna
Brazil was quoted as saying that Warner "has a
lot to learn before he's ready for prime time." Holy
Mollycoddle Metamorphistics! At this rate, more
chapters of the Blue Dog’s book Adventures in
Warnerland soon will have to be written. --
