The main reason I allow comments at all on this site is that I love to be corrected as you have corrected me.<br /><br />In my defense: Reid never specified WHEN he spoke to his source, did he?<br /><br />At any rate, it is indisputable that the Huntsman clan thinks that Reid might be in a position to do Jon Jr. some service.Joseph Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10574779960109698980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-58311128630992566972012-08-10T12:32:16.362-04:002012-08-10T12:32:16.362-04:00Just picked up link in "Daily Kos" today...Just picked up link in "Daily Kos" today (2012 08 10) to your well-reasoned post. We're racing to bring up a new anti-Mitt satire series in YouTube, so I am paying more attention than normal to the truly quotable sources -- your Cannonball is definitely one! Great work.<br /><br />As to your speculation, may I suggest we not overlook Abby Huntsman as the possible Reid source? Many of your (and Kos' derivative points) would fit her profile, I think. She could possibly (technically) even be a Bain investor if she was a beneficiary of a Bain-created trust.<br /><br />2012TruthTeller<br /><br />"there's no fool like an old fool, unless it is an even older old fool"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-38837818694869792832012-08-10T09:10:50.055-04:002012-08-10T09:10:50.055-04:00And we have motive: Huntsman (probably) would like...<i>And we have motive: Huntsman (probably) would like Reid and Obama to make him the head of the World Bank.</i><br /><br />Please do some basic research on all facts you use.<br /><br />The article "Jon Huntsman discussed World Bank post with Harry Reid" is from March 23.<br /><br />The election for head of the World Bank was on April 16.<br /><br />Jim Yong Kim took office as new head of the World Bank on July 1.Adrian Bunknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-48661480141418942042012-08-10T02:53:06.660-04:002012-08-10T02:53:06.660-04:00This logic also works if Huntsman wants to run in ...This logic also works if Huntsman wants to run in 2016, because the nomination will be open, not occupied by an incumbent Rmoney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-87469573391607288322012-08-10T02:07:50.297-04:002012-08-10T02:07:50.297-04:00I am just gonna say, as a proud liberal living in ...I am just gonna say, as a proud liberal living in the ultra conservative state of Utah, nothing would do my cold, cold heart more good than to have this little trinket be truth.

They have called President Obama every name but the child of God. They have falsely accused him of apologizing for American around the world; they have called him a Marxist.

They have accused Democrats in Congress of being communists and at least on Congressperson as belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood. Republicans can put a sock in it.
