Is anyone else kind of vaguely depressed by the spectacle of the Republican nominating contest? We do share the country with these people. And this is the face we put out to the rest of the world. It’s like Uncle Sam wearing clown shoes. We have Jeb Bush feeling compelled to come out his monastery and issue a dressing-down to Rick Perry for dabbling in birtherism. We have Herman Cain making a mockery of the process with his stupid commercials. We’ve got Mitt Romney visiting a Republican call center in Ohio and then refusing to endorse the state ballot issue that they we’re calling about.
I mean, it’s just buffoonish behavior all around.
Doesn’t this concern you?
