Thank You, Donald Trump [Reader Post]

Hola amigos. Been a while since I’ve blogged at ya. But between moving into a new home and my recent marriage to Sister Babe things have been kind of crazy here in Bobville for the last few months. As our lives are slowly returning to normal, I’m starting to make my way back into the blogosphere.

Now that The Donald has officially dropped out of the presidential race, it’s time to look back on his short but memorable presence.

Yes, Trump is an a-hole, but you have to appreciate the kind of guy who has the cajones to get up in front of CPAC and happily absorb the chorus of boos as he informs the crowd that Ron Paul will never be president. And there’s no need to rehash everything that he’s said and done that have been covered by others, with one exception. I want to thank Donald Trump for his contribution to help bring back sanity to the presidential race.

French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde is being considered as his replacement. The jobs has benefits, staying in $3,000 night hotel rooms with complete maid service, at least in Europe are considered part of the package among Europe’s privileged Elite. However, since DSK managed to expose the seamier side of the of the European class of ‘noblesse’ and their dubious feelings ‘noblesse oblige’ toward the common masses, concepts that play so conveniently for the European Socialist, the world is beginning to question the wisdom of installing European Socialists to run this complex and powerful monetary fund.
