Feingold: U.S. Due for 'Cheesehead' Prez
Tampa Bay Online & AP ^ | November 27, 2005

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The time has come for a "cheesehead" in the White House, although Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., doesn't know if he's the one to take that mantle.

He put his chances of seeking for the nomination in 2008 at "probably higher" than one in 100 while saying it was too early to commit to the race.

"But I do think one thing we can all agree on is that this country is overdue for a cheesehead president. We've never had one," he told ABC's "This Week."

A cheesehead is a native or resident of Wisconsin, a leading dairy state. The term also refers to the yellow "cheese" wedges worn on the heads of Green Bay Packers football fans.

Feingold is mentioned as a possible candidate because of his anti-war views. He is among the Democrats in recent months who have visited New Hampshire, the site of the first presidential primary.

He probably pronounces it, "Lambert Field," also.

I don't think the boring, twice-divorced twerp is going far.

From OpinionJournal.com:

We'd like to say we're surprised, but this was always going to be the end result of a law that naively believed it could ban money from politics. Since 2003, when the Supreme Court upheld it, McCain-Feingold has failed spectacularly in its stated goal of reining in fat-cat donors. Yet its uncompromising language has helped to gag practically every other politically active entity--from advocacy groups to labor unions. Now the FEC is being asked to censor another segment of society, the millions of individuals who engage in political activity online.

If he succeeds in squelching MY free speech, he'll be remembered for much more than CFR/McCain shenanigans.

America needs a liberal cheesehead about as much as we needed a liberal peanuthead from Georgia. Don't they ever learn?

Not to worry. Russell has 0.0001% chance of getting the Dems nomination. He has -XX chance of becoming President. Like most Senators, he is on a delusional power trip.

The same Feingold that gave us McCain-Feingold? He doesn't stand a chance, but if he runs it could be a good thing. His candidacy could drag the assaults on our freedom of speech to front and center.

Just make sure the cheesehead doesn't have a cheesebrain. (Is that possible?)

But unfortunately Joseph McCarthy isn't available. Neither is Douglas McArthur.

Thank You, Senator Limburger.

Hey Russ, the good people of Wisconsin wouldn't ellect you on a bet. ( Most of us don't consider Madison or Milwaukee to be in Wisconsin)

We still haven't recovered from Jimmuh Carter, although I think his head was made from something less appetizing than cheese.
