Did the man whose personal fixation on the Clenis is so all-consuming as to border on fetishism really just utter these words on Friday (see "week in review" video):
And the sex lives of presidential candidates...did Mike Wallace really ask Mitt Romney if he had relations with his wife before marriage? And did Mitt Romney really have to answer that question?
I completely understand why nobody wants to thinks about Republicans fucking, but that's probably not why Tweety believes the subject ought to be off limits.
He then asks why antiwar types keep making the antiwar position so hard to take. I guess the beltway insiders who have spent the last six years talking about the emperor's spectacular codpiece don't like to have it pointed out that 65% of the country has been able to figure out for quite some time that this war was a spectactularly boneheaded move. With numbers like that it should come as no surprise that a few meshuggenah came to that conclusion well ahead of them.

Jane!
he couldn’t keep his Mitts off her
I need some brain bleach - ewww, Republican sex. I thought my divorce insured I would never have to deal with that subject again.

OK - off to Austin with you.
Maybe it’s me, but Mitt sure came across as teh gay in the last debate.
I’m just saying…
Where is everybody?
Mutant Poodle @ 3
…in an elaborate, gilded palanquin. one that is, dare I say, Austin-tatious.
Of course he never had sex with his wife before they were married. he never had sex with her after either. That’s why they don’t believe in evolution.
But does he do God’s work?

he was against creation before he was pro-creation
All the reports of Laura at the Mayflower Hotel have put a damper on Tweety’s favorite subject (as long as it’s a Democrat).
The anti-war types being hard to take was a riff on Rosey and someone else I’m not recalling at this time.
But Tweety is both too obtuse and too self-centered to ever dream that he is logically incoherent. After all, he’s one of the KEWL KIDZ!
I believe the reason Romney was asked was to lay the groundwork to be able to ask Democratic candidates similar questions.
Oh good freaking god.
Do these people DO anything outside the little habitrail they live and work in? EVER?
It’s really pretty pathetic that our national discourse isn’t any different than what you’d hear in the hallways of any middle school or on some idiotic MTV crap. It’s all the cool kids v. the rest of the world. Yawn,boring,and STFU already Chris.

Hi Jane!
Suzanne @ 14
Well, you’re probably right. But it would be only fair to ask the abstinence-only hypocrites if they kept their chastity belts locked during their courtships…
However, I really don’t want to know anything about Rudy.
The Democratic Party, the party to which I belong, really needs to nominate someone for president who is firmly committed to pulling out of Iraq and is determined not to start any more unprovoked altercations.
what’s a “meshuggenah”?

I’m new here, and i’m sorry to to seem to rebuke, but ’spectacularly boneheaded” is way, way, way, way too kind a description of the murderously cavalier actions, attitudes, and behaviors of the fascist phux who have–with malice aforethought–corrupted, undermined, and/or poisoned ALL they have touched over the course of th4 last 6 anda half years…
understatement may be a kind of camoflage.

Yeah, whenever I ponder becoming anti-war, I always remember that Rosie O’Donnell is anti-war — and then I regain my pro-war sanity.
wtf?
Tweety’s reached his sell-by date. No more Jack Welch to protect him and Punkinhead.

PS TiredFed - Did today’s LA Times article give you some new Monica Questions?
Hmm. Interesting. I actually did catch that bit by Tweety on Hardball, but didn’t do the double-take due to distractions under foot.
But now that you mention it, Matthews has been OBSESSED with the Clenis’ schwing, as ThinkProgress noted.
Observe that ThinkProgress outlines Matthews’ comments on the Clenis’ sex life only in 2007; can you imagine how bad it was during Clinton’s administration? No wonder I blocked out so much of politics during the Clinton years…

I’m so glad you asked. Hope it’s not a sheep.
TiredFed @ 55
Older yet here, and damned proud of it!
Will someone please point out to Tweety that The View’s ratings have increased markedly since Rosie joined, and there aren’t enough lesbiantic, pair-bonded New Yorker moms just like herself to account for it? She speaks to women in the great middle of the country that the BeltwayBoys like to think they represent. And Rosie’s views, if not entirely representative of these viewers’, are certainly not heinous enough to make them change the channel.

that’ll be freedom day for this Tired Fed!
I wonder if Tweety’s criticism of Mike Wallace’s question of Romney was a way of getting at Chris Wallace, whose debate performance got (incomprehensibly) good reviews.
Also, did anyone else notice that Willard managed to first say that no, he couldn’t be asked the question — and then answer the question? A perfect, split-second encapsulation of wanting to give every answer to every question, which is Willard’s primary character flaw.
Any one want to bet the first Democratic Presidential candidate questioned about abstinence before marriage is HRC?
The question to Romney is so they can now go after HRC and claim to be doing so to Rethugs also.
Because we all know this obsession is about the Clenis, not Romney.

The noun is meshugaas “craziness” and a crazy girl is a “meshuggeneh” while a crazy boy is a “meshuggener.”
Etymology: Yiddish “meshuge” from Hebrew mesuggah “maddened, crazed” participle of suggah “to be mad, crazy.”

Well, if Mike Wallace is going to ask this question of all the nominees, will Rudy get extra time? He has three pre-marital eras to discuss, and we’ll want to know whether any of the sex was simply pre- or extra-marital.
Methinks this was a get-Rudy setup. “Mr America’s Mayor, your chief rival for the GOP Prez nomination, ex-Governor Romney, has said he did not have pre-marital sex. Before your first marriage, to your second cousin, did you boink her?”
etc, etc, etc….

TeddySanFran @ 87
Why is it that, in Iraq, killers are always described as being “dressed as” Iraqi police or miltary.
Has it never occurred to anyone that at least some of those instances involved people who are not in costume?
dakine01 @ 56
You know, when Hillbillies aired, ordinary Americans couldn’t afford to live in Beverly Hills.
Ordinary people could and did live (and buy homes) ten miles west - by the sea in Santa Monica.
Now ordinary Americans can’t afford to buy (safe) housing within most of Southern California.
Our communities didn’t have to become poker chips for Big Finance.
The Fed chose to make Americans’ homes into “investments” in the global market for debt.
And the deflating housing bubble drove insanely wasteful resource choices now beyond our means.
As the people lured into $400,000 “starter homes” on postage-stamp lots in kid-killing air a thirty mile commute from LA could tell you.

Heads up, gang. I’ll be live on the air from eleven to midnight on Seattle’s KIRO-am from 11 to midnight eastern with David Goodstein. It’s a token liberal show on a conservative talk station, so at least the call-ins should be interesting.

From LA Times article:
Absentee landlord’
Unbeknownst to Iglesias, a few months before that lunch, Rogers and another Republican attorney from New Mexico, Mickey Barnett, had complained about Iglesias at the Justice Department in Washington. The session was arranged with the assistance of the department’s then-White House liaison, Monica M. Goodling, and an aide to White House political strategist Karl Rove, according to e-mails released recently by congressional investigators.
This meeting between Mickey Barnett and Monica Goodling (and perhaps a Mr. Patrick Rogers) is the subject of question #28 (questions are available at TiredFed). Please feel free to offer follow-up questions.
