The Latest Invented Political Controversy
Tagg Romney (who you'd think would have been way too old to be caught up in the weird-ass kid-name trend) said something SHOCKING the other night.
(Shocking only to people who like to demonize the other side as WORSE THAN ADOLF HITLER! BUT WITHOUT THE FUNNY LITTLE MUSTACHE.)
Tagg's words that have been lighting up blogs and Twitter. He said he wanted to...
"...jump out of (his) seat and ... rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him..."
("Him" being the President.)
(His emotion expressed here being pretty much what anybody thinks when their kid, parent, spouse, or close friend is under some perceivedly unfair attack.)
Tagg continued:
"But you know you can't do that because, well first because there's a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because this is the nature of the process, they're going to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he's not. We signed up for it. We've gotta kinda sit there and take our punches and then send them right back the other way."
Yawn.
Sarah Silverman's dad's defense of her, after some Orthodox rabbi attacked her in one of those "open letter" dealies, was much more entertaining:
Hey *sshole: Daughter #1 is a rabbi. Not by your standards. She's reform. How dare she, a lowly woman think god wants her to be a rabbi, created from a mere rib. Her hubby, three times nominated for a nobel peace prize was listed by the Jerusalem Post as the 49th most influential jew in the world built the worlds largest solar field in israel. By the way, Sarah was also on the list. I missed your name. Oldest granddaughter is serving in the Israel Defense Forces. I'm sure you also served. Oh I forgot the orthodox don't do that. You don't f*ck with my family.
I LOVE Sarah! Her Dad is famous for his confrontational attitudes in person. At some bigs awards show he attended he was heard yelling at people driving up in limosines.

Temptest. Teapot. Some assembly required.
I did see on my twitter time line someone say that Tagg should be sent to Gitmo for being a dumbass. I decided that gritting my teeth and moving on would be more productive use of my time.

I dunno. The Romneys are very upper class and those people have, I believe, been giving their kids names like Tagg for a long time.

Hitchens (PBUH) is still right.

Tagg, Trig.
I'll bet they get confused all the time.

Taggart is his first name. And what he said is mild compared to what was said about Sarah Palin.

This was an off the cuff comment by the future president's son saying he doesn't like Obama.
I don't see it as controversial.

How to like Bill Murray more.
How to hate Europe a little more.

I didn't know he had kids. I can still vote, right? Don't give a rat's ass about his kids.
