The Cons must be crazy

Or, in other words, just another day in Wingnuttia. Maybe it's because it's finally sinking in that they're really going to get stuck with the Romneybot 2012 as their candidate, but for whatever reason, the Nutopians are especially goofy this week.

Rove, who has been in slow-mo meltdown mode for weeks unleashed a new attack ad reprising a recycled theme from 2008.
A new ad released Thursday by the conservative super-PAC American Crossroads seeks to use President Obama's "cool" status against him, appealing to the youth vote by asking how America's "biggest celebrity" has helped them find jobs.
I'm so old I remember they had some success with that meme for a while but hastily dropped it once Palin became the big celeb on the campaign trail. You can watch it at the link, but it's a dumb ad. Starts with lots of clips of Obama being cool and then cuts to some jarring, "Hey kids has your cool Prizzy from the United Stizzy got you a job yet" graphic in the last few seconds. Not Rove's best work.

Related, the Zombie Breitbart Army is dithering about Obama's Slow Jam and demanding he be impeached for being too cool on the teevee machine. [No, don't click that link to Breitbart] They're demanding equal time for Willard under rules that sound very much like an argument for the Fairness Doctrine. Funny, I remember when they told us we were doomed because Democrats were going to resurrect it when they took power. I suppose that means us lefties are supposed to screech about censorship and free speech violations now. Or something. For balance.

In other news, architect of the Roadmap to Ruin, Paul Ryan announced he's just not that into Ayn Rand anymore. No word on whether he's also stopped assigning Atlas Shrugged as mandatory reading for his interns.

Oh, and eureka! George Zimmerman is really a black man, so the wingnuts aren't racist. Liberals are the real racists. [No, don't click that link either.]

Sadly, that's not all the crazy in Crazyland. The real stupid is happening on the twitter today. The wingnuts are telling "jokes" again. It's going to a long road to November kids...

You've nailed the hypocrisy, but I think I speak for Democrats everywhere when I say I would love to see Romney trying to slow jam the news on Fallon's show.

So would I. I love humor. The GOP has nothing but hatred and fear and tax cuts for millionaires and corporations. That's it.

Ha! Good point. I would actually love to see that.
