Hey Alex: You should get your stand-up comedian quotes from J Stewart- much more attractive to look at than snakeman... It's like asking Kobe Bryant to give a safety lecture to women about how not to be raped...
this race is the most entertaining one i have witnessed, all the thrill and fun of the fair. not exactly fitting for the highest office for the world's greatest democratic power, but bloody funny. usually these affairs go through protracted dull and dreary fazes. not with Mitt in the mix though!
Hit Romney with the Tax Neutron Bomb. Even in his bunker or tax shelter Romney is a prime target. With God's grace there should be no collateral damage. Well, maybe a few zillionaires.
Bombs Away
Awesome.
I bet £5 that quote WILL resurface over here and be used against a Cabinet minister.
Ouch.
