You mean he endorsed the Republican candidate in a close House race?  Insanity.

It means he hates gays.

This should dispel any doubts where Romney stands on social issues:

Romney stands wherever his audience does.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Give that man a cigar!
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Not all of them.
the rarity puts them in the same category as big foot. People claim to see them, but the evidence is unconvincing at best :D

Only if they wear costumes and scare teenage girl drivers.

Romney if like more evil about it or something.  And he hates gays.

??? So you can't investigate tax fraud?

I can investigate anything I want to.  So can you.

But when a newly minted Democratic Attorney General launches an investigation two months before the general election into a tax issue that his office has *zero* jurisdiction over (it concerns federal tax liability), and which issue the IRS has been aware of for 20 years, and one of the targets is the former employer of the opposition candidate, at least the possibility of political motivation has to creep into the discussion.

Hopefully Joan will show up soon and restore my faith in rule of law Democrats.

I think the key adjective here is not "Democratic" but "New York Attorney General"
Now that the old state Banking Department made such a big splash NYAG doesn't want to be outdone.

I agree it's a real headscratcher.

Meh, I can't get excited over big bad NYAGs anymore.  I think history has vindicated Spitzer to a large extent.  He may have been a bully, but he bullied the worst dregs of 1% society.

Senator Heller spent the entire day in our office on Wednesday. He's kind of a nice guy. Seems to be squeaky clean, but then he's not been in Congress very long. I'm sure the corruption will set in soon enough. We grilled him on lots of stuff. Oh, and the gay couple who work here had a long chat with him. I don't know what they talked about, but I'm sure it was interesting. He was hanging out here for at least five hours. My boss must have donated a ton of cash or something.
