Mitt Romney took a shot at Obama today for attending Harvard. You already know the punchline, don’t you?
(TPM) — Speaking in Harrisburg, Pa., Romney told an audience that Obama may have spent “too much time at Harvard,” according to NBC. Obama, who has a law degree from Harvard, spent three years there. Romney, who earned both a Harvard law degree and business degree, spent four years at the university and was by all accounts a motivated student who was happy with the institution during his time there.
You cannot make up comedic comments about politicians that are better than the ones they make themselves.
There will come a day, and this day is coming soon, when Jon Stewart will simply need to put an image up on his show, and will not need to say anything. Because everyone will already get it.
Do these campaigns not have at least one person who checks speeches and goes ‘hey, maybe you shouldn’t say this because it’ll just come back at you?’ Just one person?

Walt Kelly observed that the passing parade of political poltroons provided inexhaustible material for his pen. Would that he were here to lampoon the current crop.

IN other news, Romney condemned the President as ‘having too much money’ and being ‘an out-of-touch rich guy who doesn’t even know what he stands for’.
Romney was also quoted as noting the President flubbed it during Obama’s short stint as the Governor of Massachusetts, or Tax-a-chusetts, and his job destroying record at Bain Capital and offshore accounts have come under increasing scrutiny.
Wow! Can the Republicans get any dumber? Don’t answer that we all know they will… Anyway, I’ll let Bender handle the rest
