Must have been, because this recording of the two parts of the William Tell Overture that count were done with an orchestra twice the size of the one Rossini would have used, but hey … it works:

Well! This looks like a fun story!

[Kansas House Speaker] Mike O’Neal (R) had sent the [anti-Obama] e-mail to House Republicans citing Psalm 109:8, which says, “Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him,” the Lawrence Journal-World reported.

The email said: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”.

The next line of the Psalm, which was not included in the e-mail, says “May his children be orphans and his wife a widow.”

Mitt Romney, when pressed about his vulture capitalism and tax returns, whines and waffles.

Three-time Defender of Marriage Newt Gingrich, asked about Mrs. Gingrich II’s claim that he wanted her blessing to fuck Future Mrs. Gingrich III on the side, responds with, well, this.

8:00 Debate opens with a question about Newt Gingrich’s infidelity. Newt responds by attacking the press. None of the others want to touch the issue.

If there’s anytthing that Republican crowds hate nearly as much as a black president, it’s the press.

8:20 Romney calls Obama a crony capitalist for not allowing GM to fail. GM just reported that it has regained its place as the most successful automaker in the world. It doesn’t matter. UAW. Obama should have let GM fail just to stick it to the unions.

8:25 So Ron Paul’s never heard of the G.I. bill. That’s interesting.

8:30 OMG… Newt Gingrich is channeling… ME? Excuse me while I go to shoot myself.
