She’s baaaaack!!!!

Tea Party darling, non-witch, alleged daughter of Bozo the Clown, born-again virgin, and failed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell endorsed Mitt Romney for the GOP Presidential nomination yesterday.

And she’s back in classic Celibabe fashion. When quizzed about concerns regarding Mittens’ flip-flopping on every issue of importance, she said, “He’s been consistent since he changed his mind.”

One can only hope to see her out on the campaign trail soon.

Very soon.

Being of a Certain Age — and, more importantly, not of a Less Certain, Younger Age — we’ve long since given up tracking What The Kids Are Up To. It’s a condition that sets in when you pass 40: The moment you realize There are now grown adults who don’t share my hip Gilligan’s Island references.

At that point, you can be Bob Denver, a sad relic of an earlier time, or you can just give up and fucking deal with it.

“Say goodbye to Xe. The company formerly known as Blackwater — the world’s most infamous private security corporation — has jettisoned the name it chose in its 2009 rebrand.

Trump cancels debate, mercilessly baits America’s Late-Night Comedians: “It is very important to me that the right Republican candidate be chosen to defeat the failed and very destructive Obama Administration, but if that Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate, I am not willing to give up my right to run as an Independent candidate.” [USA Today, via Political Wire]

“The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Palin and Burnett are pitching another reality series, this one more focused on Palin’s husband Todd and his career as a championship snowmobile racer. But for now, TLC owner Discovery Communications has passed, say sources. And A&E Networks, which entered into a bidding war with Discovery for Sarah Palin’s Alaska, also is not interested.”

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Al Jaffee.

Those were the words directed to Mittens this morning after he told a gay Vietnam vet in New Hampshire that he didn’t think the same-sex spouses of veterans should receive survivors’ benefits. 

Oh, if you were wondering, Mittens spent the late ’60s/early ’70s at Stanford, BYU, Harvard Business School, and tootling around France trying to convert cheese-eating surrender monkeys to the Mormon church.  Two deferments. Must have been nice.

Video after the jump. At least his hair looks good, though a little Mayor McDreamy slick for my taste.
