It's Coming ... From the Black (Pope) Lagoon

Mark Binker is reporting that Real Jobs NC (remember them?) is about to unleash their Art Pope-financed smeers of Democratic candidates again this election cycle.

And why not? The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that billionaires have the inalienable right to buy any legislature that they can personally afford. And the Real Jobs NC slimeballs of 2010 worked so well to turn the NC General Assembly over to Dan Soucek, Jonathan Jordan, and other Tea Party types.

Remember what they did to Cullie Tarleton and Steve Goss in 2010, the mailers the put Mexican sombreros on those gentlemen's heads and warned about rapists moving in next door to your granny.

The Real Romney Stepped On His Weenie

Apparently, when Mitt Romney speaks to his peeps, the 1%, he finally gets authentic. "My job is not to worry about those people," he sez, by which he means the other people not invited to $50,000-a-plate fundraisers at the posh homes of hedge-fund managers.

"My job is not to worry about those people." (Incidentally, we already knew that about you, Mitt, but we appreciate the confirmation.).

Mitt told his filthy rich that some 47% of the American electorate -- is that roughly half? -- are just freeloaders anyway, including, we assume, all those elderly people riding on Medicare-funded scooters who are probably planning to vote for this man anyway, since the news won't penetrate as far as Fox.

Then last night, at "a hastily arranged press conference," Mitt sez he ain't sorry for the sentiments, only the "inelegantly" chosen words. Hell, we thought the words were ever bit as elegant as the setting.

When There's a Pattern, Sometimes It's a Sign

My old pal Juanita Jean was cataloguing a series of whoppers that recently came out of Paul Ryan's mouth, and her hair salon was humming with "Well, I swan!"

Ryan's last one, about having 6% body fat, was a new one on me. Amazing what seems to matter to the guy.

Interesting

Patsy Keever makes this list of "under-the-radar candidates" to watch. She's running against Patty McHenry (R-Oompa-Loompaville) in the redrawn NC-10.

Inartful Dodger

Don't know which is more interesting ... that Republican candidate for governor Pat McCrory is sending memos to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie about how to dodge questions about McCrory's tax returns or the fact that the memo was leaked, presumably by someone on the inside of the McCrory campaign.
