No, that’s not a mistake. I’ve taken to just blurting his name out at random points during the day to startle people. It seems to genuinely frighten everyone when I do it. And although I’m sure my family hates it by now they’re probably just happy to see me off the whole “Deez nuts!” thing.
I don’t know why I even bother following the GOP primary anymore. I think it’s pretty much wrapped up for now until August when it will have one more real chance to get interesting again. Mitt Romney! is the only one left standing in any real capacity even though he’s worked so damn hard to fuck it all up.
“Fresh from a solid victory in Illinois, Mitt Romney’s Republican presidential campaign got caught up in a flap on Wednesday over an aide’s comments his opponents said made clear Romney is not a real conservative.
Senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom gave Romney rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich grist for criticism in his reply to a question during a CNN interview on whether Romney has had to tack so far to the right it could hurt him in a general election match-up against Democratic President Barack Obama.
Fehrnstrom said Romney’s situation is much like an Etch A Sketch, a popular children’s toy used for drawing that can simply be shaken to erase the image scrolled onto it.
“Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again,” Fehrnstrom said.” – REUTERS
I know its all bullshit and these guys are all just fucking actors. Even the ones you like. But, I still like to enjoy the illusion as with professional wrestling or my career prospects. You like a good steak but you don’t want to know how it got on your plate. Trust me. You don’t. Damn, now I’m thinking about steak and I completely lost my train of thought.
Oh yeah. In the end, charisma trumps all in Presidential politics. Clinton, W, Reagan, Obama- these guys inspired people. And they always win out over guys like Dole, Kerry, Mondale and McCain. There’s a lot to be said for a complete and total lack of personality. And I don’t need to point out how fucking vacant Mitt Romney! is. Putting him up against Obama is like putting Keanu Reeves in a movie with Denzel Washington.
I’m trying to put together a trip to the convention in Tampa this August. Of course I’m still trying to get Gloria Estefan’s attention. And I’ve been working on that for like 25 years now. But, I’m not giving up. Jail, restraining orders, FBI watch lists- bring it on. The more society tries to stop me the more right I become. I actually print that on every bottle of my own homebrewed beer.
