It’s a Crying Shame We Can’t Use “Tar Baby”, But Maybe “Albatross” Will Work
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, this morning:
“I have been from the very moment very clear as far as where I stand on [birthers]. It’s just as much of a distraction as it is for people to ask for more and more tax returns and all of these other issues.”
Insanely wealthy Mitt backer Jon Huntsman Sr., this afternoon:
“I feel very badly that Mitt won’t release his taxes and won’t be fair with the American people.”
Well, then! Glad that’s settled!
The Mittbots are getting a bit whiny, no?
@Dodgerblue: Reince was Born to Whine, but yes.
@nojo: Suggests to me that the taxes/Bain attack is working and the R’s know it. Unleash Joe Biden!
@Dodgerblue: All that, plus Mitt’s just not a compelling candidate.
Right now he’s taking a McCain Dive — which led Psychogeezer to attempt a Talibunny Hail Mary last round. The desperate veep pick this time would be Paul Ryan, but Timmah! has the inside track, since he manages to be even duller than the boss.
@nojo: Ha-ha! His name is Reince Priebus! WTF kind of furriner Frenchy cheese eating surrender monkey name is that?
@Dodgerblue: Save Joe B for October fights. Harry Reid has been going nuts for the past 10 days. He wouldn’t still be talking if there wasn’t some proof.
@SanFranLefty: It has the distinction of sounding inbred and aristocratic at the same time. But then, so did the name Gore Vidal, god rest his switch-hitting soul…
