Seems kind of obvious to me.... While commentators are discussing how provocative his secessionist rhetoric is, why do they overlook what seems to be his obvious personal political aspirations?

Governor Good Hair has looked around and seen a Republican field devoid of real 2012 potential candidates for POTUS. He has the looks to compete with Mitt; all he needs is a message to make Sarah's rhetoric and political shenanigans fade into the political background. Secessionist talk and bashing Washington for all its excesses could possibly rivet those cable news cameras from her to him.

Oh but wait ... they already have! Mirror, mirror on the Republican political wall, the Texas Governor has the best hair of all (except for Blago, of course, but he probably is going to sit 2012 out).

Perhaps the Good Governor confused "secession" with "succession," the latter of which is literally defined as: "the act of following in order; lineage; act or right of coming in the place of another." Translation: former right-wing nut case Texas Governor George W. Bush rotates out of Oval Office; time for current right-wing nut case Texas Governor Good Hair to prepare to rotate in.

Has Turd Blossom Karl Rove been expelling his political gas bag into Governor Good Hair's oxygen supply? If so, has the Good Governor been inhaling too deeply?

Remembering the adage, don't mess with Texas, here's a preemptive shot: Governor Good Hair, if you think you will need new employment in the near future, there are four current openings for pirates in Mogadishu. Also a few government jobs there are open. Just saying ....

So the question hangs here, begging an answer: Is Governor Good Hair sticking his toe into the 2012 political waters? If so, what is the temperature that toe is reading? Come on in -- the political water is fine?

Memo to the late, great Molly: Send me a sign, Molly, say it ain't so.
