Former Congressman Tom Tancredo is in the race for Colorado governor, he said this morning. “I will officially announce at noon that I will seek the nomination of the constitution party,” Tancredo told The Denver Post. The Littleton Republican must file some papers with the Colorado Secretary of State and register as a member of the American Constitution Party, but then “he’s ready to go,” raising money, disclosing his platform and launching a website that is already put together. Tancredo gave Republican candidates Scott McInnis and Dan Maes an ultimatum last week: Promise to get out of the race after the primary if polls showed the winner lagging behind Democrat John Hickenlooper or else he would get in as a third-party candidate. Both Maes and McInnis refused. Tancredo’s entry into the race is likely to split the GOP vote in the general election, giving Hickenlooper a win, said Dick Wadhams, head of the state’s Republican Party. He blasted Tancredo after hearing the former congressman was going to get in. “Tom Tancredo has nobody’s interest in mind other than his own,” Wadhams said. “But what do you expect from a guy who reneged on his term-limit pledge and has been running for office for five decades.” Tancredo and Wadhams had an all-out-brawl on Peter Boyles’ KHOW radio station show this morning, screaming at each other and calling each other “liars.” Tancredo said Wadhams called McInnis “untrustworthy” in a private conversation, which Wadhams denied. “I’m trying my level best to do what’s necessary for the conservatives in this state,” Tancredo said. “Would you withdraw your candidacy if a stronger candidate emerges?” Wadhams asked. “If I get into it I have to get into it as hard as I can,” Tancredo responded. “What’s your agenda? What are you going to talk about? Impeach Obama and bomb Mecca?” Wadhams asked.

Want to get really confused? Look at the letters below the "ya" in Kenya, reverse them, and do an Arabic to English translation. Or you could just do an English to Arabic translation of the word "Hawaii" if it's easier. Birthers punked again! I love it!

You Trig birthers missed the obvious - it's Bristol Palin. Did you know that if you rearrange the letters in her name you come up with Brilliant Ops? Ha ha Sarah Palin pulled the wool over your eyes! Brilliant Ops!
