Best line of the day

“No Republican candidate can go 30 seconds without suggesting that we’d all be much better off if we just handed the major functions of the national government over to the states or ‘back to the states,’ if you’re a Republican candidate who’s proud to line up with the losing side at both the Constitutional Convention and at Appomattox Court House. Over the last couple of days, we’ve seen the national Republican primary schedule torn into pieces and thrown into the air because various secretaries-of-state from the little duchies of Rubeland are fighting over who gets to be first like a bunch of spinsters fighting over the only widower capable of driving them to the Old Country Buffet for lunch.”

Pierce, who else?
