When asked what she wants to say to Republican critics of Mitt, Ann Romney said “Stop it! This is hard!” I have news for you, Ann—being president is hard too. And people criticize you even after you get the job! You think this is hard? Try running the country while the other party has ground the Congress to a halt and their base accuses you of being a foreign-born imposter. Ann, maybe you should unwind with some comfort food. Go make yourself some tuna and pasta. Or have the kitchen staff make it.
This week the candidates faced Hispanic voters. Mitt Romney seemed to do it with a face that was a couple shades browner than his regular face. It looks like Mitt was wearing a fake tan to darken his skin when he went on Univision! That explains why, when I first saw the tape, I thought “Why is George Hamilton on Spanish TV, lying about his stand on immigration?” If Mitt was putting on an actual fake face for the Hispanic voters, it was the perfect metaphor for the two-faced way he responded to their questions. The big difference is that Mitt’s fake tan was applied with much more skill and subtlety than his fake answers.
You’re doing a heckuva job, Brown-nosers! Just last month, Mitt Romney handed out bonuses to his campaign staff. Well actually, he just gave bonuses to his “top” staff. But since we’re talking about Mitt Romney, I didn’t have to tell you that part. I can only assume that Mitt holds 47 percent of his own staff in contempt as well. Actually, I’m glad Mitt gave his top people bonuses. It’s going to be a long, long time before any of those folks finds another job.
People in Texas and Virginia have lynched a chair in their yards in apparent reference to Clint Eastwood’s equating of Obama with an empty chair. That’s the rightwing extremists for you! Let’s take something that gave everybody a good laugh (even Mitt Romney, or so he says) and turn it into something that makes everybody want to vomit.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has advanced a so-called comprehensive immigration plan. And, as usual, Democrats conceded to Republican demands in the name of compromise. Over the last five days, the Judiciary Committee members considered over...
I must admit, I've never been to Oklahoma. I have family friends from there, but it's one part of the Great Plains I've managed to avoid in my life. Yet that didn't stop me from feeling quite a bit of empathy with those folks in...
For over a week, Republicans have refused to focus on anything but so-called scandal. And, it turns out, that's exactly the way they want it. On Thursday, the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, sent a letter to...
A new CNN poll shows Obama's favorability rating at 53 percent. That's up from 51 percent in April, and up from the 51.1 percent from the poll that really counted last November. Like before the scandals, 45 percent of people disapprove of the...
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have made their point – they hate Obamacare. And, just in case anyone didn't get the message the first 36 times they made that point, they're about to waste even more taxpayer...
It turns out the IRS was investigating conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status. Duh! And the TSA has been looking at people seeking to get on airplanes. None of the conservative organizations that the IRS was "targeting" were...
The Associated Press has accused the Justice Department of "massive and unprecedented intrusion." That's according to one of the AP's top executives, after learning that the government secretly acquired two months of the news...
It seems that the Republicans won't stop until their attacks over Benghazi are as vicious as the attack in Benghazi. The Republicans would have you believe that the Obama administration altered the talking points on Benghazi out of political...
