Moran shouldn’t hide ambitions

moranA Hutchinson News editorial makes a good point about Rep. Jerry Moran, R-Hays, who has yet to comment publicly since the Hays Daily News quoted from a fundraising letter saying Moran intends to run for the U.S. Senate in 2010: “Voters don’t understand a politician who seemingly can be honest with campaign contributors yet publicly offers a ‘no comment.’”

    What he can’t hide is his medicocracy.

    Yeah, if Moran intends to replace Brownback, he needs to get on the bandwagon now and stick his foot in the door.

    It is common practice not to comment on political intentions for the future, until the next election is over.

    Obama, by the way, told everyone he would not run for higher office until he completed his first term in the Senate.

    Moran told every one that after his first term in the Kansas Senate, he would return to Hays to practice law. Someday, almost everyone in the nation will regret that. Moran is admittedly a fine human being, but he doesn’t have much upstairs. How different his life would have been if he had been four inches shorter.

    Jerry Moran is like two quarter-pound stools of alien space s#it crashed into a toxic waste dumpster in Hays America, fuc#ed, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child. Only worse.
