Things In Politico That Make me Want To Guzzle Antifreeze, 2016 Republican Field Edition

Please hit me with a mallet now.

Jindal, the Rhodes scholar and new chairman of the Republican Governors Association, is making a very public case for a more intellectual approach to conservatism, accusing the GOP of being, in his words, "the stupid party."

That's quite enough of that, thank you.

Rather than read this whole thing and lose all hope for representative democracy, let's just see if we can make a game of it. Name all the people pictured and write something about each of them that we all know.

Row One:

1) Kelly Ayotte: Prominent Romney surrogate, now bears mark of Cain forever.

2) Michelle Bachmann: Won re-election by an eyelash. Voices in head provided margin of victory.

3) Jeb Bush: Worst political last name problem since that lovely Mr. Hilter ran in the by-election.

4) Chris Christie: Failed to let state drown rather than do business with Kenyan anti-christ. Megachurches all over South praying that he detonates.

5) Nikki Haley: South Carolina: Cradle Of Presidents.

6) "Bobby" Jindal: It is easier to ride your dinosaur if the earth is flat. Jesus taught us that.

Row Two:

7) Susana Martinez: Will have to show ID to give acceptance speech.

8) Bob McDonnell: Transvaginal.

9) Rand Paul: Aqua Buddha.

10) Mike Pence: Milk carton.

11) Rick Perry: No. Stop. Seriously, you're kidding me.

ask me to tell you what my mind saw when I was skimming the article)

I was going to wonder how an actual rhodes scholar could be so stupid, but there have been a couple of posts on the subject of education vs stupidity already today, and it makes my head hurt)
