Presidential notebook: Bob Barr is not in the race for the White House; but two candidates who are running share a smooch.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Over the weekend, the blog Third Party Watch floated a breathless, “very reliable” rumor that former Georgia congressman Bob Barr is considering a run for the White House under the banner of the Libertarian party.

We are happy to kill this sucker dead, effective immediately. “Mr. Barr has no intention of running for president,” said Derek Barr, spokesman for Barr’s consulting outfit, Liberty Strategies. “No exploratory committee, nothing.”

Derek Barr has also served as Bob Barr’s son for a number of years, and so would be in a position to know.

This weekend also saw two presidential candidate engage in a quick, public buss. Insert your own Larry Craig joke here.

In fact, the participants were Democrat Dennis Kuncinich and no-I’m-not-yes-I-am Green party candidate Cynthia McKinney. The locale was the 10,000-person march in Columbus, protesting the Fort Benning institution that was once known as the School for the Americas.
