Tidbits And Cat Treats: Pre-Debate, Post-Ridiculous Video, Where-Are-The-Tax Returns Edition

By Zamboni

Why does anyone bother with pre-debate coverage? It's like reading the buildup to the Oscars, Emmys or World Series — a total waste of time. Here are some more cogent thoughts to ruminate on instead.

If there is a hell, it has a special place for Republicans who make 68-year-old black ladies who have been voting for more than 40 years jump through 10,000 ID-related hoops to continue doing so. On the bright side, though, yesterday's smackdown of Pennsylvania's "This Means Romney Will Win" voter-ID law surely means that, um, he won't. Watch for the Willys to start moving some of their ad money around as a result.

There they go again: Our wacky friends in the right wing think they've found some sort of smoking-gun Obama video. Isn't amazing how they keep screaming about issues that 95 percent of Americans have long since moved to the outbox — like radical pastors, angry black first ladies, and birth certificates? But at least now maybe they'll kinda admit that a President who recognizes his Christian minister from the podium probably isn't a Muslim.

It's so interesting how the Republicans are making noises about the Benghazi attacks on September 11. We can only assume that Willard's extreme faux pas while Americans were still under fire last month set them back on their heels for a bit. But now they're starting to stir. Never mind that they would have scratched the eyes out of any Democrat daring to question our total surprise on the original September 11.

And speaking of the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, does Willard have a foreign policy adviser who was not an integral part of the official or unofficial Bush-Cheney universe? Does he have an economic policy adviser who was also not an integral part of that same universe? Hm.

Why are we not talking about the answers to those last two questions?

And while we're at it, we're still waiting for your other tax returns, Mr. Cayman Islands-Swiss-Bank-Account-Millionaire.
