(441) A VOICE OF REASON

LEO is an alternative newspaper in Louisville. Ricky L. Jones is a writer for LEO, and his observations are usually brilliant. Set out below is a verbatim quote from one of his recent articles (KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES, “The necessity of self-deception”):

"Let’s be real – Cain isn’t winning the nomination. You know it, and he knows it. Perry isn’t winning it either. Why? Because he’s crazy. Michele Bachmann is a joke. Ron Paul could win if, like his son, voting were limited to Kentucky. Since it’s not, he’s toast.

Even though the clownish Tea Party types hate him, Romney will win the nomination simply because he’s the best available, sane option. Everybody knows this, but we’ll play this silly game through next spring.

Yes, everybody knows this just like they knew Sarah Palin wouldn’t run. Why? because Sarah Palin is an intellectual Lilliputian who has trouble constructing a comprehensible sentence."
