I think they really believe this shit

Look at this quote from an AP story on the rancor among the candidates that was generated by last night's GOP debate:

Romney continued Thursday to hammer at Huckabee's record on immigration and taxes, and likened his history of ethics controversies to another former Arkansas governor — Bill Clinton.

"I know there were a number of ethical charges and actual fines and violations," Romney told MSNBC. "That's a little reminiscent of the Clinton years."


What? "Clinton years"? Would Mr. "I wear magic underwear" Romney clarify for us, just a little bit, what these "actual fines and violations" during the Clinton years were? Because, I've got to tell you, I've lived through a whole helluva lot more Clinton years than he has and I don't remember anything like that.

Waterboarding? Ah, it's not so bad.

I wish we had an opposition party. I plan to vote for the Green candidate Rebekah Kennedy for Senate next fall. Yes, I know that is like a vote for the GOP (provided they field a candidate against Pryor). So? You say that you don't want the Republicans to have the committee chairmanships? Why? Have there been hearings held by Democratic chairs that amounted to anything that I missed?
