I just got off the phone with former congressman and talk show host Bob Dornan, who is considering. . . a run for President.
“I can’t stand the thought of my party having as its three front-runners three open adulterers, Newt Gingrich, Giuliani, and McCain,” Dornan said.
“I’ve got one mission left in me, to come up to New Hampshire and tell the truth, and tell the Republicans you better find yourself a fresh face and not Rudy Giuliani who took his mistress around with him and then divorces Donnna who learns she was divorced sitting at home watching TV with her children.
“We need a fresh face if the Republican Party is going to appeal to an Orthodox Jewish, Evangelical or practicing Catholic.”
Aside from adultery, Dornan’s other issue is homosexuality, which he called “a cancer in my party.”
He said he’d consider backing the right candidate or even running for President himself.
“Fifteen hundred bucks (to file for President)? It would be worth it if I could stand in front of a huge audience again and say, folks, is the Republican Party the party of values, the party of life?”
Dornan said he’d toyed with the idea of running as the Presidential nominee of the Constitution Party, which holds its New England meeting in Concord on Dec. 1, but is leaning against it after seeing how poorly third parties did in last week’s election.
Somehow, I just don’t foresee B-1 Bob leading the Republican Party back to its glory days on an anti-homosexual, anti-adultery platform. But he sure would make the 2008 primary a lot more fun, especially if his nemesis Newt decides to run. It’d be like Steel vs. Iron Man.
I am just curious to see if old Bob gets any attention in New Hampshire.
B-1 Bob.. yeah, that's the ticket.
I remember him saying on a talk show once that Mother Teresa gave him advice for when he becomes President.
Interesting.
If the best he can do is "adultery" about the three contenders he mentioned, he should be disqualified IMMEDIATELY.
B1 Bob is your man!
Even though we think politicians are nuts, Bob really is. He beat his wife alot. She was always calling the police. He raves like a lunatic, and all the same, I like him. Maybe it's because I like nutty folks. No matter how much his face turned beet red, I couldn't stop watching him. It made C-Span viewing much less fun when he lost his seat.
Teddy Kennedy's face is red because of all the booze, it really isn't the same. Bob Dornan is one of a kind.
Yeah, you're right personal ethics have no place in a presidential candidate.
Hey, Mr. Dornan, I loved you in "Starfighters"!
I hope the Republiicans don't repeat the Democrat fiasco of '04, when Al Sharpton, Howard Dean, and John Kerry -- among other nutballs -- shared the stage. I do hope to see a Democrat reprise, however.
If nothing else, Bob can serve to smoke 'em out.
Now if only we could get Patsy Buchanan, Ross Perot, and Tom Tancredo to run too. Pay-per-view entertainment.
I remember back in the days when he was in the House, every evening one could turn C-SPAN on and there he was telling it like it was.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I gotta admit that I got a kick out of Jimmy Trafficant.
Beam me up Scotty.... hahahahahahaha he was a hoot.
He did this long series on the 50th anniversary of WWII events. He would like do an hour each day on what happened during WWII that day 50 years ago. I often wondered how he had the time to research it all, since he was supposed to be working, but he entertained me.
BTW, I really do think he's nuts. It has nothing to do with his take on issues really. It's just that he is freaking nuts. Oh, the ferret head left around the same time too from Ohio. The democrat. The one who went to jail. He was nuts and entertaining too. What was his name?
I remember B-1 Bob before he was a congressman. He was on t.v. versus a bead-wearing hippy.
B1 Bob was hilarious in Congress. I don't think I'd want him elected to anything higher than that, though!
That was his name. I would watch nothing but CSPAN if they let Trafficant out of jail, put him and Bob back in the house and let them do a debating club every night.
B1 Bob was fun to watch....
:)
Who was that other bucket headed dude? The "Beam me up" guy....he was a total hoot too!
We could sure use some comic relief around here lately!!!!
Ferret-head was James "Beam me up now, Scotty!" Traficant. Crazy like a fox, but entertaining. :)
They aren't running to be Pope. This will go nowhere in a country with a 50% divorce rate.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I gotta admit that I got a kick out of Jimmy Trafficant. "
duuuuuuuuuuuude, you read my mind!
