Look Out! Allen West Says He’s ‘Standing By’ to be Vice President

Read the biggest developments from Michael Cohen's testimony.

People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch is reporting that Allen West “told talk radio host Jeffrey Kuhner on Wednesday” that he’s ready, willing, and able, to be Vice President of the United States if you please, saying “I’m always ready to, if the American people need me back, I’m here, I’m ready to go.”

This “selfless” old political hack told Kuhner something very interesting:

When Kuhner asked West if he would every consider running for president himself, West responded that it’s “just not my nature as a soldier” to go out “seeking political office” (an odd statement coming from someone who has run for Congress three times), but “my nature as a soldier is to serve and to step up when my country needs me, so I’m standing by.”

Standing by to serve his country. Like the time Florida turned out to be too Smart for him and he fled To Texas to work at a libertarian “Think Tank.”

That’s right: “If God is approving and my wife and my two daughters are of approval, then I would say, ‘You’ve got your guy and let’s get at it.’”

Maybe that’s why he keeps losing elections. God isn’t voting for him.

Take a listen courtesy of Right Wing Watch:

He’s standing by, America. Do you feel the warmth in the cockles of your wherever?

Some of Allen West’s greatest hits from the pages of PoliticusUSA:

• Do you remember when Allen West claimed underage Walmart cashier not selling alcohol is Sharia Law?
• Or when Tea Party hero Allen West got caught redhanded plagiarizing a blog post?
• Or this winner? Crazed Tea Partier Allen West Tells American Troops Not To Follow President Obama’s Orders?
• Or Tea Party Nut Allen West Says Obama Is Using Boko Haram To Distract Us All From Benghazi?
• And of course there was the time West told Sean Hannity that Obama was to blame for Ft. Hood shooting

Yes, that Allen West, longtime resident of Crazy Town, wants to be Vice President of the United States. We’d be better off with another Aaron Burr trying to turn parts of the Louisiana Territory and the Southwest into a country run by one other than Aaron Burr.

At least we could jettison Texas that way and reverse the catastrophe of Santa Anna’s loss at San Jacinto. Of course, Trump would have to build a longer wall…
