Friday PM Stuff

Barack Obama returns the dialogue in the campaign to some level approximating reality for about the thousandth time, and he'll probably have to do it a thousand or more times (h/t Prof. Marcus - and no sooner do I finish typing the words...)...



...Patrick Murphy does a fine job here on "The Colbert Report" (yes, I'm biased, but it's true - h/t Atrios - have to turn the volume waaay up here; I hope Comedy Central is trying to figure out how to make better videos)...



...and while it's truly objectionable that John W. McBush, he of the sleazoid letter trying to link Obama to Hamas noted above (and you KNEW that was coming, didn't you?) hasn't agreed to co-sponsor the new G.I. Bill as K.O. tells us, I think the IRS scam is pretty damn repugnant also...



...and this week started with the "bitter" and "clinging" nonsense, and it may end that way; Willard Mitt Romney here called Barack Obama "elitist."

I'll repeat that because it's so unbelievable: Willard...Mitt...Romney...called...Barack...Obama...elitist ("The Mittster," he of the "penumbra of angst," "sanctuary mansion," and the "who let the dogs out" nonsense).

We are now "through the looking glass," people - check your sanity and sense of reason at the door as you descend.
