Long ago, I read an interview with the late New Orleans piano titan Professor Longhair. He casually mentioned that he'd served in World War II. The interviewer was surprised. This tidbit never had been mentioned in any piece ever written about 'Fess. So, the interviewer asked, where did you serve?
I served behind enemy lines, 'Fess told him.
But where, the interviewer insisted.
Shreveport, 'Fess replied.
So, anyway, I'm in South Carolina.
Specifically, I'm here, on the banks of Lake Murray, in a funky little town where, if you're particularly alert, you might see a camel standing stolidly in a field, surrounded on all sides by sheep. Not far from the camel, there's an empty warehouse and the sign out front says that it's AVAILABLE in giant white letters. This unremarkable place may well be the spot at which the involvement of the Bush family in our politics comes to an unremarkable end. Right around noon on Wednesday, word came down that South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley would come to this empty warehouse in Chapin to give her formal endorsement to Young Marco Rubio's presidential campaign.

The Great Moderate Hope, the latest "stick it to conservatives!" candidate, will soon be no more!!
Edmund and Lakeshark done been tellin y’all this for months PING
I would like to simply ask him (along with the other Republican candidates) about what he thinks about people who simply want to stay home and not bother going to work and are content to keep on watching television and collecting welfare benefits and food stamps. This is an important reason why the cheap Mexican labour keeps coming into the United States.
The GOP against the people and it looks like the people are winning! We voted them in to stop the parasitic regime and its impostor and they gave us the finger and played golf with him. Ahhhhh the smell of napalm in the morning
The author is either a liberal, or merely not enamored of Republicans. But he can really write.
How can you collapse when you were never in it?
Did he expect another even more moderate (having evolved as he did) Bush would result in a better country than the first two Bushes handed us?
Now Bush gets to test his theory that he can win without the GOP base.
If a dem is elected I’m buying a case of cordivan shoe polish.
...Rubio is the new, fresh face that the national media is desperately trying to keep viable in the hopes that nobody notices that Young Marco is a big bag of feathers.
That’s pretty funny, right there.
It's a collapse because the media says so. Has nothing to do with reality.

Condescending little twerp sure doesn’t seem happy to be in southern flyover country, does he?
I used to live in Shreveport. It isn’t “behind enemy lines” at all.
She already has done the same to the good of South Carolina
Collapse? How can something that didn’t have a chance to begin with collapse?
Major liberal - a real a-hole.
Jeb moving to Mexico will be his act of love.
we're supposed to be keeping our eye on the tiger and that is beating the rats but instead, we're destroying our own people.....
congratulations on doing NOTHING....
Oh Cherry don’t cry because politics is war without bullets. It isn’t civil all the time, nor should it be. Maybe we should repeal the 19th amendment and you can go back to knitting. < /reality >
