Duncan Hunter Don't Get No Respect at All

John McCain told reporters that he's far too busy campaigning to respond to — or even pay attention to — comments made by his political rivals.

I'm not going out and saying, "Oh, what does Duncan Hunter feel about this issue?" I'm not going to do that. Life's too short.

Pasty Paul Patrons' Persistence Pays

According to Mediabistro, Ron Paul's rabid and acned band of paranoid neophytes has finally been effective at something. The Texas Congressman has been invited to participate with five of his fellow GOP candidates in the upcoming Fox News debate in South Carolina.

Duncan Hunter has been excluded, but he's probably just glad to be mentioned in the story about the debate. On behalf of the Hunter campaign, I say, suck it, Alan Keyes!

The Fantastic Four?

The New York Times has a great drawing today of four of the top candidates as members of the Fantastic Four.

The image, beautifully rendered by Barry Blitt, declares the following:

Hillary Clinton = The Invisible Woman
Barack Obama = Mr. Fantastic
Fred Thompson = The Human Torch
Rudy Giuliani = The Thing

TheInDecider already took a stab at comparing candidates to superheroes, but neglected to compare ANY of them to the Fantastic Four.

It's definitely a fun image, but I'm not sure I agree with Blitt's choices. I mean, come on, Clinton invisible? Thompson fiery?

Personally, I think that Duncan Hunter is the closest thing to an invisible woman in the race, though I do think Giuliani as the Thing is a pretty good match. As for the rest, anyone else have any ideas?

Romney Looks to Bolster his Intolerance Cred

In last night's debate Rudy Giuliani got on Mitt Romney's case for not hating foreigners enough, while Duncan Hunter one-upped him on the gay-bashing. Well Romney'll show them with his new ad today:
