Mark Shields article about Romney is considered, even considerate of the Hopeful Romney. He has to be nicer than I do, since I’m not paid for nice. These notes then:

these are times for one liners, most of which are suited as garbage bags, complete with twist ties.
any sense of sex, innocence in waiting and watch righty run. mighty mitt, without meat or bun, he has nothing. run from the rumour, mitt, wear only gloves, mitt, forget your sheepskin wear gloves, mitt, you may have to touch it if you reach for it, mitt.
too fearful for a war of ideas…
he reacts too quickly over the first impressions of sex .. sex is automatically dirty, too close to scandal. sex, or even the thought or idea, or need of sex is dirty, nasty, fit for the stall. better to condemn Craig as a scoundrel, all of this as scandal and step quickly away…
too quick to react, american politicians are easily spun about on their high heels

romney will continue the Righteous wind ripping the heart out of our landscape
leaving our social fabric flapping over the deserts and dust bowls of the world.
