The return of the carpetbagger...

From the Carpetbagger report:



Watching the recent Republican presidential candidates debate, we’ve seen plenty of nonsense, dissembling, errors of fact and judgment, but we haven’t seen any true lunacy. The candidates are too busy trying to appear presidential to unleash the real crazy.
And where’s the fun in that? Clearly,
what we need is Alan Keyes.

An organization calling itself “We Need Alan Keyes for President” has launched a website to press the former Reagan administration diplomat to enter the field of Republican presidential contenders.
According to a statement at the website — AlanKeyes.com — the organization’s purpose is to “determine and rally support for a presidential candidacy by Dr. Keyes.”
The statement adds, “We Need Alan Keyes for President, Inc., is a political action committee . . . not managed by Alan Keyes.”
The effort is spearheaded by several individuals at RenewAmerica, a grassroots organization affiliated with Keyes.
Stephen Stone, president of RenewAmerica, said, “At this point, Alan has not indicated that he will run. In fact, he has said that he would run only if enough people at the grassroots come forward to say they want him to run. Our job is to give them a chance to do so.”
