Faced with criticism for his amateurish reaction to the mob attacks on diplomats in Libya and Egypt, Mitt Romney's campaign has been quietly asking Republicans to pretty please say something nice about him if they're asked, or at least maybe they could deflect the question by explaining that this is all Obama's fault, duh.
"That's the trouble with the liberal lamestream media: always paying attention to what we said, instead of what we say we said."
Point taken, but: what the fuck-fuck-fuckety-fuck is the administration doing <a href="http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2012\/09\/12\/obama_admin_disavows_apologetic_statement\/" target="_blank">disavowing the Cairo embassy&#039;s twitterings</a>? I am personally in favor of insulting religious feelings, and would have preferred them to say something like &quot;this movie is a puerile piece of tripe made by people without two brain cells to rub together&quot;. However, with a bunch of angry people outside your door who would like to persuade to please go home to bed, I can understand issuing the sort of emollient rubbish that has become standard in dealing with religious nutters of all stripes. To look on the bright side, I suppose this new mood of 1st amendment absolutism means we can expect a spirited defense of P.Z. Myers&#039;s right to abuse crackers from Mr Frothy any day now.
Ah. Yes. Abashed newbie was about to apologize for missing the update when I saw your and Dr Zoom&#039;s replies. I still can&#039;t find your original comment (the link doesn&#039;t work for me, and your replies I see to Gyrus are about something else). The &quot;disavowal&quot; seems to have spread beyond Politico and Salon; it has, natch, got to Breitbart. I shall read Salon with a more jaundiced eye in the future. I&#039;m sorry, and ashamed. I think I&#039;ll go back to lurking for awhile.
Apparently, Romney is a follower of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nicolai_A._Vasiliev" target="_blank">Nicolai Vasiliev</a>. At least now we know what world he will be ruling in the afterlife - the <a href="http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-World-Null-A-van-Vogt\/dp\/0765300974" target="_blank">World of Null-A</a>.
&quot;But we will not apologize for our constitutional right to freedom of speech.&quot;
Better: &quot;But we will not make craven, cowardly apologies to Muslins for our freedumb, as some - such as black Muslins from Kenya - would.&quot;
We raised a glass to you James. You were missed.

i am listening to random news and it seems appropriate to say here:
i am very glad hillz is in charge of our diplomats right now.
