Romney chooses Congressman Ryan for VP on a Saturday morning during the Olympic. I guess he's hoping the public don't notice what he's done for a while. Meanwhile, liberals across the USA rejoice.

To add a bit of entertainment, he also announced that Ryan is going to be the next president of the United States.

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but Obama made the same gaffe with Biden four years ago.

The only thing that makes the wanking season tolerable is the entertaining gaffes.

Mitt Romney appears to have picked Paul Ryan as his running mate over the objections of top political advisors

Why does Ryan worry them? Well, among other things...

Quote :

Some of the doubters, though, also see warning signals. Congressional candidates in difficult districts and Florida Republicans are not eager to debate Ryan's attachment to converting Medicare into a system of vouchers for workers under 55.

Who needs Florida, amirite?

Quote :

The fact that Ryan's push to cut capital gains taxes, which Romney opposes, would reduce the presidential nominees own taxes to nothing has also gotten unwelcome attention.

I'm sure Mitt Romney would be totally against that.

Quote :

"Many close aides had been lobbying for the low-risk, nonobjectionable Pawlenty, arguing that the two could run as outsiders taking on Washington," Politico noted Sunday.

Which you can't do with a guy who's been in Congress since W. went to the White House--and who voted for every budget-busting war-mongering bill W. wanted.

Quote :

And Romney's own aides, in conversations with reporters over the last day, have also made clear that the candidate himself, not his advisors, drove the Ryan choice, something they have put in the context of Romney's forceful leadership.

"He made his decision to select Congressman Ryan," advisor Myers said. "It was his decision alone."

Translation: Don't blame us when the campaign crashes and burns! He wouldn't listen to us.

I'm never going to put this story about freshman Republican Congresman Kevin Yoder of Kansas skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee better than TBogg: Junket Drunk Dunks His Junk

Mitt Romney asks why aeroplane windows don't open

OS ANGELES - Mr Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for president of the United States, has compounded his reputation for verbal gaffes by questioning why jet airliners do not have windows that open.

During a US$6 million (S$7.4 million) fundraising event in California, Mr Romney brought up an incident at the weekend when his wife's aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing.

He mused that she would have coped better if she was able to breathe outside air during the fire, reported The Daily Telegraph.

Hasn't he ever seen Goldfinger?

I too, agreed mostly with Jill Stein.

Of course, third party candidates don't have a chance. The news doesn't cover them because no one cares about them and no one cares about them because they're not news.

There is not enough facepalm in the world for that kind of dumb.

Just about the time I think he can't say anything stupider, he goes and doubles-down on me.

That's not how it works.

Still stupid as hell though.
