Reaction to Last Night’s Debate

Pandora will have a post up shortly on Romney's stunning and revealing statements that revealed him to be a male chauvinist asshole, and I will have a detailed post up on Libya later this morning after the Polling Report (which we have a lot of, by the way), but here is what is being said across the mainstream and liberal and conservative media this morning. And I hear from Dana Garrett that Joe Scarborough has that sour puss on his face that reveals when his guy lost and Joe knows it.

Sometimes a picture says it all. In the unfocused background, you have the President smiling and amused. In the foreground, you have a lying asshole bully being smacked down and knowing it.

Richard Williamson is Mitt Romney’s top foreign policy advisor, the guy who orchestrated Romney’s original effort to exploit the attack in Libya before it was even clear the US Ambassador had died.

There are two reasons why I think Mitt Romney wouldn’t dare try and pull this off. First, reports from people who were actually in Libya are citing the video as the initial reason they heard for the attack, and second… Mitt uttering the words man up? Yeah, that would sound natural.

It never ceases to amaze me that these people just don't get it. In an effort to humanize Ryan, the Romney campaign had Ryan and his family stop at a soup kitchen in Youngstown, Ohio last week.
