"Póg mo thóin." Keep thinking, O'Malley. Tyrannical thug governor still holds out hopes to sit in George Washington's chair.

Readers will recall my question for Gov. O'Malley during the Toys for Totalitarians campaign:

No doubt your attacks on the traditional liberties of American firearm owners are no impediment to success in any Democrat primary. If there’s one thing you collectivists agree upon it is disarming those who disagree with you politically. But just how do you think that will play in the general election? So, I look at your happy face as you signed a bill subverting the constitutional rights of your fellow Marylanders and I ask myself, “Why is this idiot smiling?”

Now he's playing coy, but the thirst for power is still evident: O'Malley declines to answer 2016 question

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, often mentioned as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, declined on Sunday to talk about his future political plans

O’Malley said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “it’s an honor to even be mentioned” among potential contenders for the 2016 nomination. But the governor indicated it was far too early to make a decision - and declined to give a timeline for making a decision.

“Sure, I’ve said I’m thinking about it,” O’Malley said. “But right now, I’m primarily focused on what I need to do for the good people of our state.”

Another clue to his national ambitions? Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley on Sunday declined to criticize New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over the bridge controversy that has engulfed the Republican’s administration and called into question his prospects for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.
