Desperate men say desperate things.  But, of course, Rupert Murdoch says desperate things on happy days.

He tweeted ….

@rupertmurdoch Romney looking better and better while Obama seems devoid of anything new. May try October surprise, bomb someplace! Remember Clinton?

Yes, because Obama has spent the past 4 years bombing someplace.

And those of us who still have the ability to remember know that Clinton was bombing al Qaeda camps because he had heard “Osama bin Laden determined to strike within the United States.”  When he decided to do something about it, Rupert Murdoch and his evil empire kept yelling, “Wag the dog.”

And, no, Romney is not looking better and better.

Nate Silver —

No, Rupert, Romney looks like the spent the night in the dishwasher on the pots and pan cycle.  Yet, even with that, he still has not come clean.
