Mark Warner for President

Draft Mark Warner! Yesterday former Virginia Governor Mark Warmer dropped out of the race to become the 2008 Democratic nominee for president. This cannot stand.

Warner’s reasons for ceasing to run like a madman were that the effort was too taxing on his family and that he wanted a real life. A real life – really?

It is very clear that this contemptible person is claiming normalcy as an excuse for his inability to maintain the heroic façade necessary to pose as General Washington in the Oval Office. Obviously, as George Bush would say, “This is unacceptable.”

Those of us who have long observed politics, especially at the presidential level, are used to candidates willing to push their mothers under the wheels of busses and to have their children deprived of drugs and teen sex just so they can puff up as their wives gaze adoringly on their magnificence.

Only two presidents in my lifetime had the audacity to claim authentic and normal personas, Harry Truman and Gerry Ford. Goodness gracious, neither of these men sought the White House. That makes Mark the first person in modern history to begin a run and to abort it because he’s too normal and wants to be a real person.

While I’ll support the Democrat nominee, no matter whom, in ’08, the very idea that a flesh and blood human being might have actually had an outside chance at the dubious honor is too much to fathom. Clearly, this glitch demonstrates just how dysfunctional the Democrats are.

Be that as it may, those of us who say we’re for normalcy and authenticity in our own lives – hypocritical as we may be in our humility – have no choice but to demand a Mark Warner for President Campaign, starting this minute.

I’m okay. Are you okay?

Whatever. Charge!
