To be honest, we’ve always been partial to Eeyore, but he wouldn’t last ten seconds in there without Max Sex Appeal.

We missed this the first time around, and now that it’s been plastered all over the place, it may be too late. But it’s a slow afternoon, and this shows Mittens in full Jerry Lundegaard mode, so what the hell.

Apparently one of the Romney Boys left his blog sitting out on the coffeetable, and by the time he shoved it under the couch, it was too late — folks clinically interested in what a Mormon looks like inside the Magic Underwear took a good, long look. Based on what we’ve seen of the response, it seems Democrats have much to fear this fall from the Romney, um, SuperPAC.

Our guest columnist is Bob Morris, Republican representative for the Great State of Indiana, the only member of the state House who refused to sign a resolution celebrating the Girl Scouts centennial.

Dear Fellow Representatives:

This past week I was asked to sign a House Resolution recognizing the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of America. After talking to some well-informed constituents, I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing.

While Rick Santorum isn’t quite the World-Class Serial Liar — Mitt Romney holds that trophy — he’s not above spreading a few frothy half-truths. Consider Monday’s attempt at Holy War, delivered to the good people of Muskegon, Michigan:

“When you have the President of the United States referring to the freedom of religion and you have the Secretary of State referring to the freedom of religion, not as the freedom of religion but the freedom of worship, you should get very nervous, very nervous.”

Wait, what? Aren’t the two interchangeable? Well, not quite:

“Because there’s a lot of tyrants around the world who will talk about freedom of worship, but they won’t talk about freedom of religion. Freedom of worship is what you do within the four walls of the church. Freedom of religion is what you do outside the four walls of the church. What the President is now seeming to mold, in the image of other elitists who think that they know best, is to limit the role of faith in the public square and your role to live that faith out in your public and private lives.”

That’s a pretty subtle distinction, coming from somebody who can’t tell the difference between two dudes, and a dude and a dog. And sure enough, it’s not his.
