Truth to Power

So which stooge is McCain gonna invite on the Titanic?

Will it be Tim “how in the hell do you pronounce your name?” Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota, who you’ll remember from this:

“bridge”

Last year, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty–often mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate for Sen. John McCain–vetoed a $6.6 billion transportation spending plan that included money to replace the I-35W bridge and inspect and repair other bridges. The state legislature overrode the veto.

Or this utterly repugnant, flip-flopping Mr. Moneybags, Mitt Romney, who graced us with this little pearl of intellectual jisim:

Romney: McCain earned his homes; Obama didn’t

Dumping your disabled first wife to hump a beer heiress in the hopes of a joint checking account isn’t “earning” shit, as anyone other than your typical amoral GOP “leader” could tell ya.

And to top it off, just to prove he has a wicked sense of irony, the big guy upstairs has decided to remind everybody of just what GOP “leadership” stands for:

“cake”

Just in case you guys ain’t picking up on it yet, because you’re sorta dense? Other than the news media and the uberrich, everybody f’n hates you guys. Hates.
