Huntsman criticizes GOP, cozies up to Bachmann, abandons last shred of dignity

By Michael J.W. Stickings

QUESTION OF THE DAY

If a Republican presidential candidate who's way too rational and sane for his own party and who's way back in the polls to the point where most people don't even know who he is criticizes his party and its extremist mainstream even on national television, does it matter?

Poor Jon Huntsman. So formidable in so many ways -- and yet... so lost.

So much so, in fact, that he now says he'd actually consider running as Bachmann's veep? Has he lost his mind? Or, rather, has he lost all his dignity?
