Republicans are such stuffed shirts, a point adequately illustrated by the dearth of RW stand up comics.

Who they got Dennis Miller and Ford Fairlane? Every time Romney opens his mouth he reminds me of the 'Hey Mikey' commercials from the seventies.

On a related topic, the now famous, Romney failed suck up to Ryan in Dayton last week, seen here on the Morning Joe,

reminds me of a Sylvester the Cat cartoon starring Spike and Chester. Obama is Sylvester and his panther doppleganger. I see Spike as Romney and Chester as Ryan. You can make up your own minds about who's who in the cartoon but the equivalence is hilarious.
