Oh, goody, the Republican Convention has begun in Tampa. NJ Gov. Chris Christie gave the keynote speech. Also speaking today were Rick Santorum, OH Gov. John Kasich, VA Gov. Bob McDonnell, and SC Gov. Nicki Haley. There's a regular hard-right rogues gallery for ya. Wouldn't give two cents to listen to any of 'em.
The prime-time spot is reserved for Mrs. Mittens, Queen Ann the Common Woman. Won't be listening to her either.
But I did watch a snippet of her tonight in a CBS interview. She was asked if her husband's well-known anti-abortion positions and the official GOP platform opposing abortion for any and all reasons might just possibly piss off untold millions of sensible American women.
After some artful, empathetic tap-dancing, Queen Ann explained, essentially, that after her husband's administration had forced all unhappily pregnant women to deliver those unwanted babies, those mothers would eventually rejoice because Mitt's policies would assure their kids of good jobs. (Like saddle polishing in the dressage horse stables.) And it's jobs -- that's the real issue, that's what's really important, said Ann. Republican policies will take those unwanted children and put 'em to work. It's a win-win.
So go ahead, girls -- throw caution to the wind! Drop those babies. Spit 'em out like seeds. Uncle Mitt's got your back.
