Late Night Political Humor

“A hurricane is scheduled to hit Tampa during the Republican Convention. These winds are so strong they could actually blow some of Mitt Romney’s money back in the United States.” – Jay Leno “They’re all going down to Tampa where an Evangelical party is going to nominate a Mormon and a Catholic and then get […]

12 Million Jobs?

Mitt Romney declared in his acceptance speech “And unlike the president, I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs.” Sounds great! Especially from someone who claims that government doesn’t create jobs. And hasn’t actually, you know, told us what he would do. So how can Romney claim he will do it? Easy! Moody’s […]

Room Service and Hookers.” – David Letterman “Tropical Storm Isaac is expected to develop into a hurricane in the next few days.

Accomplishments?

While the Republican National Convention is busy trying to promote their narrative that Obama has been a disappointment of a president, there are two things that you should remember: First of all, that it is a lie. Despite relentless opposition from the Republicans — who even opposed their own ideas (like Romneycare/Obamacare) when Obama adopted […]

Out come the Crazies

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that with the start of the Republican National Convention the nut cases are coming out. Donald Trump just had to wade into birther conspiracies once again. What I can’t understand is why anyone listens to anything he says any more. But wait, it gets better. Rush Limbaugh is trying […]

Late Night Political Humor

“President Obama met with the White House Press corps for only the second time this year… It was only twenty minutes long. Makes you miss President Bush. He would spend twenty minutes answering the first question.” – Jay Leno “In a new interview, first lady Michelle Obama said she doesn’t have time to read ‘Fifty […]

Supremely Unclear

In an interview with CBS, Mitt Romney tries to deflect the blowback that the Republican Party is receiving due to their hardline stance on abortion. The Republican Party platform calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. After all, if you believe that an embryo is a person, then any abortion — even in the case […]

I am what I am

© Tom Toles Mitt Romney defends his personality and likability in an interview with Politico by repeating the Popeye line “I am who I am” three times. Well, he does point out that “I was voted the president of my fraternity. … you don’t get voted to be head of your group if you don’t […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Todd Akin, the Republican Senate candidate from Missouri, is under fire for his controversial comments that women who are ‘legitimately raped are less likely to get pregnant.’ The good news? Candidates who are legitimately that stupid are less likely to get elected.” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney has asked Todd Akin to step down. That’s […]

Charlie Crist Endorses Obama

On the eve of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, the former Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, has endorsed Barack Obama for president: As America prepares to pick our president for the next four years — and as Florida prepares once again to play a decisive role — I’m confident that President Barack […]

The Economist Slams Romney

The Economist magazine — who should be his biggest boosters — takes a long, hard look at Mitt Romney, and doesn’t like what they see. A few quotes, but the whole article is worth reading: All politicians flip-flop from time to time; but Mr Romney could win an Olympic medal in it (see article). Would […]

State of Emergency

Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for Florida, although some might wonder whether it is because of the approaching hurricane, or because of the impending inundation of Republicans arriving for the convention. Isaac has already caused three deaths in Haiti. I hope everyone stays safe. © Jim Morin UPDATE: The Republicans have […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Mitt Romney is worth half a billion dollars and he’s saying he pays 13 percent annually in taxes. Al Capone paid more than 13 percent in taxes, ladies and gentlemen.” – David Letterman “Mitt Romney says he’s never paid less than 13% in taxes, which I think is fair because only 13% of his money […]
