The latest from the unauthorized biography

Mannion pulled the envelope back.  "One more thing," he said.

"But we've done everything you asked!" her husband wailed.

"She gives up her job," Mannion said.

"She gives up being governor?" Todd said.

"She's got another job?" Mannion said.

"Running for President," she said sadly.

Mannion smiled and tapped the envelope.  "Not anymore," he said.

Best commentary on The Perplexing Event thus far. Somewhere Raymond Chandler is beaming. And, I suspect, on the mark, or we wouldn't be hearing so much "winners always quit" Newspeak about it.

P.S.: Possible rebranding for the GOP, "The Republican Party: We Don't Feed Babies To Weasels .... Wait ... What? ... OK ... We Don't Feed Live Babies To Weasels ...."

P.P.S.: I'd just like to give a big shout out to everyone from Henry Clay Frick to that young sparkplug Dick Nixon to Strom Thurmond to Richard Bruce Cheney and all in between, for creating the juju that made this possible. (Sidebar: Have you seen Jon Stewart viz. Governor Sanford yet? Gemlike.) They had to develop an entirely new financial instrument for your karmic credit card, guys.

P.P.P.S.: Did Archer teach you nothing? Never, ever go to an undisclosed location when Folsom has the car keys.
