Oh, Sweet Irony! You just can't make this stuff up!

Sometimes I read something and I just collapse in a fit of giggles like I'm a giddy schoolgirl all over again. Seriously - every day the stable of Republican wannabes - and I do mean wannabes - does something that I derive absolute mirthsome glee from.

McCain takes a stroll, Rudy punks out when it's time to put up, and now, Romney rewrites reality. I mean seriously - can you even stand these fools? WTF, Mate?

“…for conservatives like me, facing reality is not a source of fear. It is a source of confidence. I am convinced that America--and our friends--can overwhelm any threat, but only if we acknowledge it, confront it, and respond thoughtfully and strategically.” Mitt Romney, earlier today in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute.

And not one word in the entire speech about Iraq.

I think that speaks volumes all by itself, don’t you?

Seriously – how could I ever hope to top that?

I'm sorry folks, but you will have to write your own jokes here.

I'm too busy right now, what with the being nonplussed and all.

Bill Kristol, meet your conscience

Bill Kristol was confronted by a military wife from Ft. Hood Texas whose husband is on his third tour in Iraq during a C-SPAN appearance this morning. This woman is tired. You can hear it in her voice. She is dealing with the reality he helped make, and you can see him squirm.

It's a lot harder to dismiss her than it is to laugh off Juan Williams.

Watch it.
