Romney 2012: it’s about eating dogs!

P.S. Treacher says on Twitter:

This election isn’t about Obama eating dogs. The sooner we stop talking about Obama eating dogs, which is something that he did, the better.

I disagree. This election is about eating dogs. This election is most assuredly not about electing a President who won’t put us in the hole for $5 trillion in four years, or putting someone in the Oval Office who will preserve our tenuous hold on an occasional Supreme Court majority.

It is about eating dogs. And where dogs ride on family vacations. And I will not tolerate any distractions from those all-important themes.

I plan to illustrate this point often, by concluding a post by noting whether the subject of the post has eaten dogs. I don’t want to have to explain the importance of this every time, which is why I will explain it here, once, and simply link it in the future.

Romney 2012: it’s about eating dogs!

The point about dragging the Left through the glass when we can is that maybe it will teach the Left to stop playing the game of distraction and derision, which it has been permitted to play with impunity. As The Virginian notes, times, they may be a-changing:

We may be seeing the end of an era dominated by ability of Leftist comedians like Jon Stewart, Bill Maher or the cast of SNL to create a false image of a political figure. Perhaps the trashing of Sarah Palin was the high point of their power, just as Watergate was for the MSM.

Ridicule is the most potent political weapon. Obama is rapidly looking less and less like a President and more and more like an inept pol who’s also something of a doofus. Romney looks like a President, he acts and talks like a President; Obama was always surrounded by a rock star aura. But a rock star is not blamed for high unemployment or soaring gas prices. Obama will always have his groupies, but his hold on the Oval Office is slipping away.

Obama has been a doofus during his entire tenure as president. He's been pure comedy gold for any writer of a television sit-com. Remember when he told the world that Part of My Job Is to Scout Out Where I May Want to Bring Michelle Back Later for Vacation’ or when he he insulted the Irish Prime Minister by suggesting that Irishmen were drunks or when he insulted the French president by calling him ugly or when he said that a fallen soldier was alive or when he accidentlly signalled to the band to play God save the Queen and then began his toast to the Queen (which was the same 2011 trip that he signed a guest book indicating that he thought he was signing it in "2008" or when he turned over a press conference to Bill Clinton or when he took lavish vacations during a recession that caused European - but not American - media to say "WTF?" or his bowing to anything that claimed "royal" descent, or giving the British Prime Minister a gift box of 25 "classic movies" on DVD or the time when he won the Noble Peace Prize for doing nothing?

Or this great moment in presidential history, when our President struck an Alfred E. Neuman pose:

Good times, good times.
