No, this
story is NOT from the Onion:
With his prized committee chairmanship very much in peril, Rep.
Duncan Hunter is poised to announce today that he is considering a
long-shot run for the White House….
Hunter’s ambitions come as a surprise to other Republicans, none
of whom had an inkling that he might look to jump into what is
likely to be a crowded field for the GOP presidential nomination.
But even more shocking is that he would do this a week before the
midterm election that may shift control of the House to the
Democrats and cost Hunter his chairmanship of the House Armed
Services Committee. Hunter is running for re-election Nov. 7.
Via Hit
and Run.
