If it’s Tuesday, it must be Poland’s turn to play Effendi to Willard’s Offendi.

In the words of Lech Walesa, I wish Rmoney success. Poland did the trick for Gerald Ford, too.

Can Romney talk himself out of the Presidency? Of course he can! But, and sadly, it matters little which corporate stooge occupies the White House, him or Obama, who, by the by, has his own bevy of recycled Bushistas in his administration.

On a related note, the wingers are lamenting the fact that most people aren’t calling their homophobia “family values”. Sorry Huck. I’m not going to call the Holocaust “ethnic consolidation” either.

Good morning, pups. Today we have Brooks, Cohen and Nocera. Bobo is bored. Bobo is restive. In “Dullest Campaign Ever” he babbles that this presidential campaign is turning out to be as boring as it is consequential. He thinks he has some of the reasons. Mr. Cohen is in Chérence, France. In “Murder in a French Village” he says bloodshed comes to rural France, and certainties collapse. Mr. Nocera says “It’s D-Day for the Post Office.” Yes, it’s yet another manufactured crisis, brought to you by Congress.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and I’ve got apple walnut muffins that are still warm. I guess it’s time for Mitt to bust out with a major anti-union speech in Poland. Maybe he can work in a few Polish jokes too… Have a great day.

On the tee-vee right now, the Equestrian Events (wondering how Rafalca’s doing?) a lot of camera shots of Princess Anne.

The popularity of the monarchy in the United States is probably helped in that neither she nor Prince Philip come here very often — the woman has quite the stink eye, even toward her own daughter.

Sorry atta, Princess Anne has the stink eye. and she’s the queen’s sister.
Thanks, it’s fun to think what would have been going on had the Rmoney campaign decided they better keep Mitt home and his mouth shut, instead we have the Grand Gaffe Tour, truly memorable.

Rmoney went to Israel and made a speech that offended Palistine. Who could have predicted that? My bet is he meant exactly what we think, that Palistinians are inferior to Israeli’s. And thats the message that America’s Israel supporters want to hear.

He’s walking it back for the rest of us, we’re supposed to believe he was misquoted, misunderstood, and taken out of context.

Boxturtle (Naturally, I believe that)

Willard has his own Princess Ann, (Romney), with the stink eye…

Thanks, Marion, of course, Mitt didn’t say what he just said, he said so, too. The wingnuts are used to having their own media so no need to get stuff right the first time, Faux will say they said whatever their voters like to hear.

Team sports for the stinkeyes means mounted. Must make for great get-togethers off the course.

He’s having great success collecting money. I sure hope the FEC is watching to make sure all the contributions are legal.

Boxturtle (Naw, they’re too busy with voter fraud. If they even have quorum)

There is a reason Mitt does not want to release his tax returns. My bet is he played the short. He bet against America. And while betting against America he made money, then stuck it in some tax haven account to avoid paying taxes. This will be the kiss of death for his campaign. Just a matter of time. Capitalism has been turned into an extermination event. Profit, at the expense of another’s life and liberty. No longer does “mutual self interest” benefiting a society exist in America. Leverage economic servitude to business models which no longer bring America “VALUE,” is the goal. Leveraged perpetual profit and lust have much in common. Human beings get screwed!

“ethnic consolidation” BAwHAHAHAHAHA! Definatily the phrase of the day.

They want homophobia refered to as family values, do they? Doesn’t say much for their families.

Boxturtle (I’ll call it Southern Baptist values. That’s as far as I go)

The White House is demanding he “clarify” his points, especially about Jerusalem being the Capital of Israel. Remember when right wingers were decrying as “undermining US policy”, the fact that some *gasp* Democratic lawmakers went to Iraq during a recess because they had the temerity to go without one of the Republican warhawks in tow?

That seems to be Huckabee’s opinion anyway.

“Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we’re considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant,” Huckabee wrote.

Who would have thought that Mitt could put his foot in his mouth deeper and more often than McBush?

Amazing how little it matters to the voters over here. My conservative neighbor insists that Mitt is simply being picked on and mischaracterized and he’s really a swell guy. And he’s sure that Bain wouldn’t have shipped those jobs overseas if Mitt had really been in charge.

Boxturtle (The koolaid in his fridge must be triple strenght)

Oh, great. This explains why horrors like BLT-flavored potato chips can now be found on supermarket shelves. The worst is yet to come, I’m sure.

My bet is that he took advantage of the tax forgivness in 2009 and “repatriated” a lot of his profits. You’d see his illegal tax shelter and how much he admitted to hiding there and for how long.

Boxturtle (Obama should hit this issue harder, IMO)

Gotta go to work! Have a great day all.

No worries, if the donation is illegal, they’ll change the law – and make sure it goes to a court the right wing has powers in charge of.

His tax attorneys are well paid to make his taxes low as possible, and some of their gimmicks are quite likely their own inventions, not meant for the paeons to use. Probably violate attorney/client privilege, in that direction.

Jerusalam IS the capital of Israel. They’ve said so, that’s where their government is located and that where we travel to (from Tel Aviv) if we want to deal with them.

We choose not to recognize this. I think we should recognize West Jeruslaam is the capital of Israel, East Jerusalam as the capital of Palisting, then move our embassy so it straddles the line between them.

Boxturtle (Thus pissing both sides offf)

Thats because your traditional values are considered homophobic, fundamentalist, hate-mongering, and intolerant.

Boxturtle (I can’t be the only one who wonders what Bible these folks actually read)

The real business of government is conducted in Tel Aviv, where it’s away from hazards that the many religions that claim Jerusalem bring there. The expense of moving to Jerusalem would be huge, and involve massive, unmanageable security.

What a shock to discover that their declaration is smoke and mirrors. I honestly thought they made everyone pilgramage to jerusalam to do anything.

Boxturtle (I have learned something new today. I can go back to bed!)

“

Probably violate attorney/client privilege, in that direction.”

Government violates that protection everyday for average Americans. This chump is running for the most powerful position in the world. Let’s see the tax returns? Otherwise he is just another cheap suit lacking credibility. Mitt will cook his own goose.

I Agree… The kiss of political death for, Mitt. Its just a matter of time……..

Hope the scary dreams stay away.

Average citizens aren’t privvy to secret tax practices and avoidance. Their secrets are downright cheap!

Tradition in this instance becomes prejudiced. Tradition as in, Negroes are inferior? (Taney) Woman should stay at home? (Whoever) Don’t marry outside your race or religion?

Bigotry is a “mental disease” and a learned behavior like alcoholism. Sadly both seem connected, in America.

Tradition is not always good………

Traditions can be good, such as families taking in members having a hard time, but those aren’t what the wingnuts celebrate.

Speaking of retread advisers, aren’t the right wing Israelis due for a Clean Break sequel from the neocons?

Dunno. Mitt can do just about anything he wants because he’s NotObama, as far as the gOP voters are concerned. The swing voters might make a difference, but I do detect an attaitude of “I don’t blame him. I’d do the same thing to keep my money out of the governments hands” from some.

Boxturtle (Mitt should be his own kiss of death. Shows how weak Obama really is)

Reminder that some of that ‘independent’ vote is of the kind that doesn’t care one way or another, and prefers not to know what’s really going on.

Mitt also insulted Moroccan leadership in the runup to the culture dogwhistle (i refuse to call it a gaffe). a friend deconstructed that insult, but it’s gotten lost in the backwash of his giant cigaretteboat of insult to the Brits and Palestinians. Did he baptize John Paul while he was in Poland?

Tradition, in this instance, is used as a cover for prejudice.

The churchies KNOW that bigotry is wrong. How in the world can they doublespeak enough to think they’re following their bible when they refuse to let a black couple marry in their church?

Boxturtle (Happened just last week and it’s being justified as “best for the couple”)

Yup. They’re going to look at gas prices on their way to the polls and decide based on that.

Boxturtle (Up 20c from last week)

Wes Moore such a great speaker on MoJoe. Joe hammouthed trying to overtalk, pushback against his reasonableness.

That church is the Metaphor for all that is the hearts and minds of the Republicans and their policies and tactics. Karl and the kochs and Haley must be so proud.

I miss those Thanks Giving Dinners on L.I. with all my family members. They were wonderful times full of political debate and love. They were great times. Most died early, medical conditions resulting from tobacco and alcohol use. Cancer, Heart Disease, Stroke…

My sister’s grade school friend committed suicide. She had been disowned by her very Irish catholic family, after marrying a man who was not white. Tradition…

Back in the 50s, stories of how NYPD would hassled mixed race couples or even how my Jewish Aunt was disowned for marrying my mother’s brother, Goy!

Tradition can be good. Tradition can suck!

Perpetual rape…………

The church was silent during Hilter’s Final Solution.

That’s all we need to know. The rest is rancid.

They aren’t saying much during Obama/Bush’s Final Solution, either.

Boxturtle (We got the Jews. We’re getting the Moslems. You Hindu’s are next!)

Silent Misfits………..

Right and wrong compromised by oil addiction!

International MitBott will still get votes from rightwing conservatives because Rush & KKKarl & their “preachers” will demand that they vote for him.

Most US citizens are totally unaware of MitBott’s “gaffes” or deliberate insults, if you will, because they’re not paying one iota of attention. MittBot’s insults are hurled for several reasons: a) in GB to show who’s “the boss,” and b) in Israel to show who’s the BOSS. In the case of the former, Team USA Fuck Yeah is the boss. In the latter, Team Israel is the boss.

Got it??

In Poland, my “bet” is that Team USA Fuck Yeah will be the Boss.

Guess Willard forgets he is a Mexican Mitten

and Princess Anne is the queens DAUGHTER…with stinkeye
