Name That Thune

story.john.thune.giSen. John Thune from South Dakota could very well be the savior of the Republican party and a viable presidential candidate as long as he keeps a low profile, otherwise known as keeping it on the “down low.”

The main appeal of one-time golden boy Mark Sanford was that no one had heard of him until he started humping the Appalachian Trail. Thune, a freshman senator, is already climbing the GOP ranks as head of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. He also says he wants more people joining the party and increased diversity, which means he is not going to last long. At all.

Not like he’s a moderate but to suggest or even think to himself that he would welcome a few normal people into his party is reason enough for the conservatives to kick him out. But if they do that, where will John Cornyn rest his chin?

    By the way, is he any relation to Tricia, the news reporter on A.D.? Because that’s a heckuva name.

    Senator Thune, you might want to have that growth on your shoulder checked out. It looks pretty malignant.
