President of The United States of F**

Paul Krugman

A note to Tea Party activists: This is not the movie you think it is. You probably imagine that you’re starring in “The Birth of a Nation,” but you’re actually just extras in a remake of “Citizen Kane.”

True, there have been some changes in the plot. In the original, Kane tried to buy high political office for himself. In the new version, he just puts politicians on his payroll.

I mean that literally. As Politico recently pointed out, every major contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination who isn’t currently holding office and isn’t named Mitt Romney is now a paid contributor to Fox News.

Murdoch can't be President himself. At least until one of his paid shills steals the office and Xes Paragraph 4, Article 2, Section 1 out of the Constitution.

Luckily for us and the world, he'll die first.
