A double tragedy, in fact, for poor old Mitt was born with both no shame and no balls! A typical Republican, in other words! I was, in fact, quite willing to let poor Mitt go gentle into that good night until pretty near incessant praise for the guy started to get me down, most particularly…

Mitt Romney wasn’t “right” about Ukraine. George Kennan was.
What goes around comes around. Or is it the other way around? In either case, I’m talking about bullshit. The latest in recirculated manure comes from Chris Cillizza, writing at Newsweek, It’s time to admit it: Mitt Romney was right about Russia. Back in 2012, the Mittster opined that “Russia, this is, without question, our…
Political Notes from All Over
George F. Will, critical race theorist par excellance There was a time when I made a virtual albeit entirely unpaid cottage industry out of making fun of George F. Will, working up such labored funnies as Two-parent families iz da bomb, says Ramblin’ George Will, snickering at the twice married, frequently adulterous when married and…
Thank you, Mitt Romney!
I am hereby “grudgingly impressed”—a lot!—by Senator Mitt’s suddenly bold stand to vote for President Trump’s removal from office. I wrote the “grudgingly impressed” line a couple of days ago when I didn’t really think that Mitt or pseudo-skeptic Susan Collins really had the nerve to pull the trigger on the big guy, but I…
Republican senators explain: “You thought we were the party of the CONSTITUTION? No, we’re the party of PROSTITUTION! There’s a BIG difference!”
Damn straight there is. If either Mitt Romney or Susan Collins votes “here” when the final vote arrives, I’ll be grudgingly impressed. If either votes to convict, I’ll be stunned. Otherwise, I’m not paying much attention. To my mind, anyone who claimed to be “weighing the evidence” was simply pretending to be stupid. Trump’s grossness,…
Republican elites panic? Perhaps they should look in a mirror.
“Less than three months before the kickoff Iowa caucuses, there is growing anxiety bordering on panic among Republican elites about the dominance and durability of Donald Trump and Ben Carson and widespread bewilderment over how to defeat them,” write Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Robert Costa, with a little help from Dave Weigel. Perhaps…
Mitt Won’t Run
Called it.
Mitt Romney will not run in 2016. Because the gods are not that kind.
That is my reason for doubting the recent spate of Mitt Might Run! articles now cluttering the political press. It won’t happen because it would be too much fun for us Democrats if it did. We’ve been good kids, pretty much, but no one deserves that much candy. The three-cushion shot argument is that Mitt…
Margaret Hartmann, Margaret Hartmann!
New York magazine’s Margaret Hartmann gets my cheer of the week for noting the resurgence of “Mittmentum” as my man Mitt makes it known that he’s unimpressed by the emerging Republican field for 2016, something that he’s been doing on a monthly basis since last summer. Back then, Mitt allowed as how he might run…
Yo, Mitt! Maybe you’re not so goddamn reasonable after all! Woo Hoo!
A week or two ago I noted sadly that rumors of Mitt Romney making another try for the presidency in 2016 were unlikely to pan out. Mitt himself said so! But now, the rumors are flyin’ fiercer than ever, thanks to Republican man about town Byron York, who gave the story new life. According to…
