Well, here's the big breaking news today: Mitt Romney answered the easiest question in history about the dumb issue of whether plutocratic female CEOs should be allowed to apply for membership at a golf course in Georgia.
Look, Emily at ABC has the full report! And Lisa at CNN fixes this nicely into a "Gender Wars" hashtag narrative. Great work, all around. Now let's cancel campaign trail coverage for a couple of months, starting tomorrow. Any last pressing questions for Mitt Romney? "Would you like people to vote for you instead of Barack Obama in the election," maybe?
I'll give these reporters a hand. Here are 10 questions I'd ask Mitt Romney:
Mr. Romney, how would you implement healthcare reform on the national level without it using the key features of your Massachusetts reform that were used in the Affordable Care Act?
Mr. Romney, how is your position on gay rights different than it was in 2002, and why did you make these changes?
Mr. Romney, do you see any contradiction in attacking the president for spending too much time at Harvard, since you were also a law student there?
Mr. Romney, if Pres. Obama was too inexperienced for national office because his only prior elected positions were as a first term senator and state legislator, and he lacks executive or private sector experience, why are you considering Marco Rubio for Vice President?
Mr. Romney, how is your position on abortion rights different than it was in 2002, and why did you make these changes?
Mr. Romney, why have you gone from being a financial supporter of Planned Parenthood to promising to "end" it?
Mr. Romney, do you believe there is a constitutional right to privacy?
Mr. Romney, besides your belief that Pres. Obama is not handling it correctly, what is your position on the Afghanistan War?
Mr. Romney, since you've endorsed the Ryan budget, do you also support converting Medicare to a private voucher program?
Mr. Romney, do you a specific plan for immigration reform, or are you still in favor of "self-deportation"?
AND THAT WAS JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD!!!
I'll put away my rape-wand.
