  1. You know, it was just a few short months ago that ol’ Haley was the darling of Virginia Republicans who waxed on about his “executive experience” and “political skill”. He was slimming down and preparing for a presidential run. Then he wasn’t. Its like he looked around at the current state of the Republican Party, took a deep draw on his whiskey and decided to put a road flare to his conservative legacy. Hey Ron Paul, this is how you do crazy!
