As you know the entire junior A wrestling team sweating and grunting for the GOP presidential nomination is great entertainment if a little on the dumb side. The wacko factor is so out there that if an alien were to monitor an earth signal from one of the GOP presidential debates, it would immediately shut off the broadcast and head for more intelligent planets. The thing is, despite Bachmann and Gingrich both being put to the mat early, the rest of the line-up did not miss a beat, picking up the crazy factor and amplifying it. Witness the battle between Rick Santorum and Herman Cain. Their battles are like Friday Night Funnies vs. Saturday morning cartoons.
The latest bit of unintentional dumbitude comes courtesy of Santorum taking on Cain’s less than facile handling of the abortion issue. A new ad from Santorum infers that “the 1.2 million babies aborted in the U.S. think” Herman Cain is wrong on abortion. Funny that, considering that no one seems to know what the fuck Herman Cain is talking about, especially when it comes to abortion. But aborted fetuses, man they must be really smart. Smarter than the average bear, to be sure. Or a presidential frontrunner – and mouth-breathing has-been – for that matter.
