Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees on the news wire that former Virginia Governor Mark Warner (D) is going to announce that he is not going to seek the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2008.

What is up with that? Has the Democratic party become so controlled by left-wing ideologues that Warner doesn’t feel he would be viable in the primary process? Does Warner have some core-beliefs that he doesn’t want to prostitute in order to become president? Did Mark Warner sit around one night over a beer and realize that running for president has to be the worst friggin thing a sentient human being could do to themselves?

Your Maximum Leader doesn’t know what the answers to those largely rhetorical questions are. But he does know that there are now no Democrats (that he knows of) running for president in 2008 that he could support.

Carry on.
