All Right DU'ers, It's 'Fess-Up Time.

Which one of you evil geniuses went undercover as a Republican campaign strategy adviser, got hired by the Romney staff, and is writing completely insane things for Mitt to say in public, making him sound totally demented to millions of people?

I know it's one of you crazy bastards.

I suspect you worked for Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann, too.


PM me, I can keep a secret.

I'd rather hope that they are actually being punked, than think they are so out of touch to actually believe that what Mitt is babbling is perfectly rational.

off his mailing list. Either one of my family/friends think it is very funny, or Romney is seriously slamming Texas with his mailings.

Chances are we are witnessing a man who's capability for self-embarrassment is unlimited. And from the looks of it, he's just now waking up to that fact. It must be a very rude awakening for him and his team. He must now be coming to the conclusion that the more he keeps his mouth shut, the better off he is.

It's me. And yes, I DID get a recommendation from Bachmann. See, I'd gone to her hubby's "mental health" clinic and got cured of the gay. Mind you, not the sorta "gay" where I pursue with amourous intent, those of my own gender (not that there's anything wrong with that). Rather, I was afflicted with the sorta gay that would've been defined in a '50s dictionary - you know, carefree, bubbly, effervescent -the state or quality of being lighthearted or cheerful? Well, Michele's spouse spouted that he could cure me of ANYTHING so long as I had enough cash.

Well, just having tapped my Swiss bank account - I was flush with lotsa Benjis. Michele helped count them out and allowed as how she'd not seen THAT much cash since she'd gotten their last farm subsidy check. So Marcus dimmed the lights, danced around me a few times while Michele chanted in tongues. Fifteen minutes later, the light came back up and I was showed the door. I gotta say - I think it worked. I was feelin' NO kinda gaiety as I walked out into the night.

Then, just as I was unlocking my Bentley, Ms. Bachmann came running up to me. Sorta breathless like, she allowed as how an impressionable sucker like me might be JUST Right as a strategist for a rich friend of hers she was advising. It's not like I really needed the money. And I confess I'm having trouble now - what with the giggling that starts to overcome me when I hear my boss spout the ridiculous crap I've composed for him to say. I may have to sneak off to Minnesota for another round of "treatment".
