Terrible gas leaks, from what I hear.

No dress big enough to shield Sununu's enormous twat from view.

The convention has been so chock-full of "<em>finally</em> someone said that on TV", it fills my heart.

And they can't even get <i>that</i> right.

He seems to have forgotten his emperor (Romney) has no clothes.

see, here's the thing john, dems actually don't NEED to lie. in spite of the fact that the economy sucks, job growth is low and america is tired and sad, dems are willing to have a debate on real things - actual history, specific policy choices, etc.

you won't - b/c you know all your side has is a blasted record, policy choices america won't support and a loud ugly group that is steering you off a cliff.

so yeah, go ahead and ponder about the cost of michelle's fucking dress.

no matter what happens in this election, you'reon the wrong side of history.

oh. and fuck you for ensuring that we don't have a policy debate that we actually need. asshole.

Looks like that was written before the two most recent installments from <a href="http:\/\/maddowblog.msnbc.com\/_news\/2012\/08\/31\/13593775-chronicling-mitts-mendacity-vol-xxxii\?lite" target="_blank">Steve Benen</a>

So, make that 600 lies in 32 weeks. Actually I think it's 33 - Benen took a week off somewhere in there.

And, they're not 600 <em>different</em> lies. Romney has favorite lies he tells over and over and over and over again, no matter how often they're debunked by how many fact checkers, viz. "gutting welfare reform" (thanks, Bill Clinton, for taking him to the woodshed over that one last night).

Yeah, I didn't know about it until today. Guess I was too rapt by her barn burning speech.

Dress-gate just doesn't sound very ominous.
