A great metaphor regarding the Klown Bus from Gail Collins

Is it my imagination, or are half the governors in the country running for president?

On the Republican side they’re piling up like … those huge stacks of walruses we see off the coast of Alaska now that there’s global warming. A stack of governors! Different from the walruses only in 1) lack of tusks, and 2) failure to believe that melting ice floes are a serious problem.

They swapped it out for a bus. And with Christie coming in, they are gonna need all the space they can get.
