Phoney Fred

Yesterday was was the anniversary of 9/11 - and what better way to Remember Our Heroes than with a Memorial Nasty Anonymous Website Casting Wild And Certainly Libelous Accusations At Your Opponent? Mitt Romney's campaign may or may not have been hurling secret poo at Fred Thompson on the internet, and they got caught. Next time, they should make sure the website they say mean things on can't be immediately linked to the business partner of a top Romney campaign consultant. What a poignant time for this to happen. Mitt Romney: Showing America How to Grieve.

The Romney Campaign denies all knowledge of the anti Fred Thompson 'Phoney Fred' website, which appeared sometime on the 10th, and disappeared sometime after everyone suggested that it wasn't cool, man. That kind of behaviour only makes you look bad. Jeez, did we learn nothing in Primary School? And so, In the Spirit of Memory that Marks This Sad Time, we have Preserved some of it for You:

"The Faces of Phoney Fred

* Fancy Fred
* Five O’clock Fred
* Flip-Flop Fred
* McCain Fred
* Moron Fred
* Playboy Fred
* Pro-Choice Fred
* Son-of-a-Fred
* Trial Lawyer Fred"

Moron Fred? Dude, please.

The Thompson Campaign responded like this:

"This latest episode only serves to prove what many voters are already figuring out: Mitt Romney will do anything, say anything, smear any opponent and flip flop on any position in order to win. The American people in general and the Republican Party in particular deserve better than this."

Guys guys guys. We ALL deserve better than this.

Romney Walks Iowa

Oh yeah, ages ago Mitt Romney won the Iowa Straw Poll, shocking literally nobody. Huckabee came second. None of this means anything, and nobody cares about it at all. Except for Mike Huckabee. Mike Huckabee's pretty stoked right now.

Mitt Romney: Champagne Mormon?

This weekend, you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a Presidential Candidate debate. They were practically standing in your supermarket aisles while you chose your cereal, "clarifying your question for you." At the YearlyKos convention the Dems were trotted up and down in front of an elite squadron of liberal bloggers, while the Repubs enjoyed the benefits of TV scheduling, going out live to the country early on a Sunday morning. Of course, the most revealing debate of the last few days comes courtesy of a hidden camera, Mitt Romney and an Iowan radio show host. The clip is 20 full minutes long. Who has 20 minutes for this sh*t? You do.
Is Mitt a real Mormon, or does his pro-choice record make him, like, a PUSSY kind of Mormon? Will he put off the religious right with his mimsy-pimsy, gay-marryin', alcohol-toleratin' carryings on? Oh yes, America's problem with you is that you might be a teensy bit liberal, and not that you believe, as you clearly state, that Christ's Second Coming will take place in both Jerusalem and Missouri. In fact, only once in a blue moon do we get to see a candidate speak so fluently and ungaurdedly about anything. Governor Romney makes a convoluted but passionate defense of the relationship between his politics and his faith. He's still a Mormon, but this will do him good. It wasn't done...on purpose, was it?
