GOP Race in Disarray as Ted Nugent Emerges as Frontrunner

WASHINGTON - The race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination was in turmoil today, courtesy of a new poll showing rock guitarist Ted Nugent the prohibitive favorite to win the race. In a hypothetical matchup, the "Wango Tango" artist easily trounced such highly touted contenders as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Mr. Nugent, who had earlier this week apologized for calling President Obama a "subhuman mongrel," said he was now rethinking that decision. "In politics, it's important to stay on message," he said.

Yes, Andy Borowitz...
