I guess Lois Lane will now look elsewhere for a squeeze.

It's an absolute prerequisite for a GOP candidate.
He's a cute quote on the topic from Joe Klein in Newsweek:
"This is my 10th presidential campaign, Lord help me. I have never before seen such a bunch of vile, desperate-to-please, shameless, embarrassing losers coagulated under a single party’s banner. They are the most compelling argument I’ve seen against American exceptionalism."

One could crack a history book, or look at the current world structure and reach their own conclusions.
Cohen's a doofus. He states a couple different versions of what it means, then says he believes it, then attacks the right. So, what does it mean?

Do you think the likes of Palin, Bachmann, and Trump belong in such a picture (all of whom have led in the early running at one time or another).

Come now, you guys ran the Senator with the most liberal record in the Senate, and made the San Fran rep Speaker.
Palin and Trump ain't even elected to anything. Shall I hit whacko leftie pundits?

You're playing into the "actually, we're not that exceptional after all" argument.
