Ron Paul went on the Jay Leno Show last night, obviously staying up long past his bedtime.

By the way, I really loved Helen‘s description of Ron Paul.

So really that just leaves us with Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.   One is fascinated with a dog having sex with a man and the other looks like a dog had sex with a man.  You know.  I really don’t have a problem with that.

Anyway, Dr. Paul was real chatty and had some charitable thoughts about his opponents during this season of peace, love, and joy.

Asked his opinion of Michele Bachmann, who Paul had clashed with earlier in the week over the question of a nuclear Iran, Paul said Bachmann “hates Muslims” and “wants to go get them.”

And Paul added that Rick Santorum hates gays and Muslims.

Those were odd words from the mouth of a man who hates Americans, don’t ya think?

Under Ron Paul, if you make minimum wage with no health insurance and you get sick, then you should die because you should have thought about that before you were born with a double digit IQ.  Or even if you have a pre-existing condition.

Hush, Grandpa, you’re rambling crazy aain.

Republicans:  the other rich white meat.

First it was Rick Perry suckin’ off the taxpayer teat by retiring before he retires and braggin’ about it as being “smart.”  Yeah, like Rick knows smart.

Now it’s Mitt Romney.  Come to find out, Romney still makes millions of dollars a year from his retirement deal with Bain Capital, the job uncreators.

And how do those millions help America grow?

Since Romney’s payouts come partly from Bain’s share of profits on its customers’ investments, that income probably qualifies for the 15 percent tax rate on capital gains rather than the 35 percent wealthy taxpayers pay on ordinary income, the Times said.

The Internal Revenue Service allows investment managers to pay this lower rate on profits, known in the industry as “carried interest.” Such options are not available to the ordinary taxpayer.

Yep, that’s me.  The ordinary taxpayer.  So I gotta pay extra to make up for what Mitt doesn’t pay on his millions.

I thought this was amusing —

The newspaper said that Romney had declined to release his tax returns, while his campaign refused to say what tax rate he paid on his Bain earnings.

Sounds like he has something to apologize for, doesn’t it?

Thanks to Brian for the heads-up.

It’s a family affair.

It seems that the lovely third Mrs. Gingrich, who for years I thought was a backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, sings in her church choir.  For.  Freekin’. Money.

For 15 years, Gingrich, 45, has performed weekly with the choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. She and the other choir members are paid, professional singers who can sight-read on command and easily distinguish Gregorian chant from Renaissance polyphony.

The church has to pay her to sing.

Psalm 100

1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

No, I did not edit out the part that says “get paid for singing in church.”

The floozy witch doesn’t already have enough money?  She’s gotta take the Lord’s money?

Thanks to BarbinDC for the heads-up.

And it’s in Fort Worth.

Of course it’s in Fort Worth.  Where else would it be?  This is Fort Worth’s raison d’être.

Thanks to Brian for the heads-up.

Math has never been Rick Perry’s strong suit.  Well, neither has biology, English, economics, animal husbandry, physics (hell, he can’t even spell that), or history.  But to his credit, rumor has it that he excelled at recess: he never got there late or left early.

Rick said that he wants to cut congressional salaries by half.  He said that with a straight face even while he was making $100,000 a year more than they do as the Texas Governor, which at best is already a part time job.

Then he said that  he would cut $5 trillion from President Barack Obama’s proposed budget.  Obama’s budget is $3.7 trillion.  Perry is going to make up the difference by having us give back New York to the Indians, selling the Capitol building to Argentina and declaring very loudly that “a dollar is a dollar, dammit!”

I hope he understands that if he burns down the White House, there is no money for a plush gated rental mansion, so he’ll have to live in a tent like everybody else would under a Perry Presidency.

Then in a moment of drunken slobbering, Perry admitted that he has some idea about who he would name defense secretary —

While he said it was a little too early to think about that, he added [Herman] Cain embodies many of the characteristics he would look for in a defense secretary.

Oh Lord, for Secretary of Defense, Rick’s looking for an ignorant sexual predator who doesn’t know where Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan is and is creeped-out by Muslims.  Y’all, I’ve thought real hard about this and the best I know, there’s only one man who fits that description and he’s married to Mrs. Herman Cain.

Anybody think Anita’s going to let Rick stay in this race past the middle of January?

Newt Gingrich, who knows everything there is to know and is oh so much smarter than you, does not know squat about Rick Perry.

In a moment of grandiose irony —-

Gingrich made light of Romney’s high-dollar bet proposal at Saturday’s debate. Romney accused fellow candidate Rick Perry of misquoting his writings on health care and offered Perry $10,000 that he was right.

Gingrich, the former House speaker, said he was “startled” by the proposal.

“I know Rick Perry pretty well. I can’t imagine he can cover that, I mean he’s been a public servant all his career,” Gingrich said.

You know Rick “pretty well?”  What, you think that just because he never picks up the check that he’s broke?  The dude is a millionaire, Newt,  a millionaire plus pocket change. And yes, he got that way on his public servant salary so figure that out, Newt.

And, Newt, see the below post.  The Governor makes $250,000 a year plus stuff.  He can cover $10,000, Newt.  He’s had his hand in every taxpayer pocket in Texas and in other places you do not even want to know about.

Thanks to Irene for the heads-up.
