unfortunatly, you're probably right. we'll likely miss out on gems like this:

“i think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our founding fathers who worked tirelessly — men like john quincy adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.”

-michele bachmann, apparently unaware that the founding fathers did not work to end slavery, and that john quincy adams was not one of the founding fathers.

Look for those well-practiced (since August) Mitt Zingers (tm) !

wow, wish i'd seen that gem back when she first uttered it.

i think john quincy's last great effort was against the mexican-american war. his last word spoken on the house floor was 'no!' in arguing about the treaty to end it.

i wonder tho if john quincy was one of sarah palins 'favorite founding fathers'? maybe she and michelle went to the same 'history (or close enough)' class!

I might even have to take Riot off ignore to see how she spins this ass kicking.

I guess Obama might have to do a little more this time around than just say that he's not Bush.

obama looked like he didn't want to be there. disinterested.

he probably was filling out his fantasy picks for sunday.

mitt is just a douche. i hope next time he starts arranging the money in his wallet according to denomination while mr. o is talking about unemployment.

I previously thought that a prior post of yours was the best I had seen this year, but I spoke too soon.

I can't help myself, but this is not a fair fight. At this point Obama's corner should really throw in the white towel.
