The former Utah governor and Obama-appointed ambassador to China has appeared to take glee in poking the Republican base in recent days. Try to convince the base that his appointment by President Obama isn't a fatal handicap? Nah, just mock the base instead.Crazy? Maybe not, especially if Huntsman -- who really has nothing to lose -- decides to attack his fellow GOP presidential candidates for taking the batshit-crazy positions that folks like Bachmann and Perry seem to take on pretty much a daily basis.
Huntsman's "Call me crazy" tweet was in response to two prominent blow-ups from Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Within the space of 28 hours he alleged that scientists were making up global warming for profit and had dismissed evolution as "a theory that's out there."
"To be clear," Huntsman tweeted. "I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."
I would love it if, during the next GOP debate when Bachmann says something absurd (which will happen), Huntsman turns to her and says, "That may be the most insane thing I've heard yet during this campaign, and that's saying a lot."
I guarantee that if Huntsman says something along those lines, everybody in the country will finally know who he is.
