Oh how precious, NPR thinks that Mitt Romney will stop running around lying to everyone’s face about welfare reform if only he is presented with the “facts.” But like most “severe conservatives,” Romney knows you can use facts to prove anything that’s even REMOTELY true -- and even things that aren't!
I googled and read the story. My brain shrunk a few sizes, then my balls punched themselves. I have to figure out something to sell people this stupid, so I can be rich like Rmoney.
i hear you sister. (the WI restaurant owner fawning over romney's business skills at 6:10 AM this morning was what got me...)
i'm hoping though that this is npr (every fucking news organization) needing a story in the dog days of summer / this stupid campaign (and needing to appear 'even-handed').
and/or it might be similar to that delightfully insidious planet money project. you know the one. the one that appears positively designed to ensnare and highlight the hypocrisy of the anti-government right (whether it's bankers or farmers). (also this AM) most recent was the millionaire farmer family who just goes ahead and takes gov't crop insurance support even though they don't think it's right or really need it.
swear to go, it's like the use daily show script writers...
meh. i think they try to hard to be 'neutral' and end up being lib-nice to the right.
why susan stamburg? all i think of her as doing is covering art - and that stupid thanksgiving recipe (though full disclosure, i've worked with her son so feel a tad protective).
however, if you want to get my blood boiling mention fucking mara liassom (see below).

One is reminded of this bit of dialogue from &quot;A Fish Called Wanda&quot;.
Wanda: But you think you&#039;re an intellectual, don&#039;t you, ape? Otto: [superior smile] Apes don&#039;t read philosophy. Wanda: Yes they do, Otto, they just don&#039;t understand it!
<i>&ldquo;And taking work out of welfare is something I&rsquo;ll change. I&rsquo;ll tell you that &mdash; day one.&rdquo;</i>
I thought Romney was the expert at taking the work out of things.
He wore a suit, and carefully dyed his hair, so that he looked dignified while he might or might not have been working at Bain.
You can substitute embalmed for dignified if you like.

Ouch! The eyes!! The burning!

NPR still thinks that having people like Mara Liasson or Cokie Roberts on the air gives them credibility.

however, i can say with complete and utter sincerity i fucking hate mara liassom.
