WiLLIARd Rmoney may well have done more

to unite the working class and middle class of all races than any other ReTHUG in my living memory.

That 47% speech was a winner for the cause. People in trailer parks and projects are pissed; people on military bases are pissed; people who fill all those buses and cars that crawl along the highways, streets and roads morning and evening are pissed; people in the service sector are pissed; street cleaners and garbage collectors are pissed.

Thanks WilLIARd - you really don't give a damn and it's nice that you said it so that 'the help', Jimmy Carter IV and David Corn could ensure that we saw it too.

By the way - Fuck You WilLIARd - you really are a despicable human being. Keep on lying about everything!!

wonderful rant. Have a great day..

Romney talks about longtime friend Netanyahu, jokes about bomb graphic
ON THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN PLANE--Flying from Philadelphia to Boston, Mitt Romney gave reporters in the press cabin some quality candidate time. After joking with a reporter who had been accidentally left behind by the press bus and later passing out beef jerky, the GOP candidate was back again—this time to give reporters a read-out about his phone call on Friday afternoon with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

He said he and Netanyahu, a longtime friend who he had first met in the late 1970s when they were both working at the Boston Consulting Group, had talked about Iran and other issues of concern in the Middle East, including the unrest in Syria. All serious issues, Romney acknowledged, but he couldn't resist ribbing the prime minister.

"I complimented him on his address at the United Nations," Romney said. "I suggested that his graphic was not up to the normal Boston Consulting Group standards." Pausing, he added, "No, I didn't actually do that, but I was thinking that."

Romney was referencing a cartoon-like graphic in the shape of a bomb that Netanyahu employed to explain the threat of a nuclear Iran.

That explains a lot.

On a side note -- it's also interesting that Rmoney mentioned a joke he would like to have told Netanyahu -- a guy he knows pretty well and should feel comfortable enough with to toss a playful jest in real time. But no -- he comes up with a lukewarm non-zinger hours later and, instead of wisely keeping it to himself, or maybe just saying it to his wife, he confesses this lame witticism-after-the-fact later on the campaign plane. So pathetic.

As much as I despised W*, at least he was capable of being glib. His jokes were often sociopathic, but at least he had the basic politician's skill of glad-handing.

I know this point is totally minor and insignificant, but I think it's another small window (one of those that doesn't open, of course) into Rmoney's mechanical humanoid response system.
