Mitt Romney Morphed Into Sweaty Richard Nixon Tonight.

My God! 50 Million Americans just saw it right before their very eyes.

He sweated like Nixon.
He grimaced like Nixon.
He twitched his eyes like Nixon.
He jerked his head like Nixon.
He was annoying like Nixon.

Tonight Mitt Romney looked just like the crook he truly is.

Television!

if it had been the president who had been perspiring, it would be a major story:

If that had been Obama I wouldn't have even dared to turn the radio on this morning. The narrative would have been so predictable. Unfortunately, the deafening silence on this is just as predictable...IOKIYAR. Still and all, even they would have to admit he looked pretty gross.....EWWWWWWWWWW

So Obama is probably answering him. I love kids who aren't shy and feel totally comfortable shaking hands and talking to adults.

He's trying to show his soft side. But he can't pull off a simple smile.

(He thinks it makes him look more empathetic; he thinks it's a way to appeal to women.)
