In case you needed a reminder that the entertainment department of 20th Century Fox gets zero influence from the news department, this R-rated Mitt Romney music video, which features profanity, a parody of an Ol’ Dirty Bastard classic, Big Bird getting shot, an implication that Sean Hannity is gay, and a lot of sexual innuendo. It appears designed to offend your dainty sensibilities. (NSFW video)
Mitt Romney tries on a new outfit: Empathy for 100 percent of everyone. Somebody’s trying to flatter us!
I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination.Harry Reid • “Doubling down,” as they say, on his allegation that Mitt Romney paid no taxes for ten years. Reid sourced this claim to an anonymous investor in Bain, Romney’s old company, and in a conference call with reporters today, said that he’s “had a number of people tell me that [Romney paid no taxes].” When asked to back up his claim, Reid replied: “The burden should be on him. He’s the one I’ve alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn’t he release his tax returns?” On the one hand, it’s easy to attribute an incendiary allegation to an anonymous source, as Reid has done. On the other hand, the only way to confirm or discredit this allegation is—you guessed it—for Romney to release his tax returns. source (via • follow)
I hacked in after finding the answer to the security question, ‘What is your favorite pet?’ It is [redacted] by the way. The password is now [redacted] … This is also the password for the Dropbox account. This is all I have gotten into. I have nothing to do with Anonymous and have never done something like this before. Goodbye.An anonymous hacker • Revealing to Gawker how he allegedly hacked into Mitt Romney’s e-mail Tuesday. Mitt Romney’s personal e-mail address — mittromney@hotmail.com — was allegedly hacked using the “favorite pet” question. It’d be painfully ironic if it it was Seamus. Everyone knows if you’re famous you don’t use that security question — everyone’s gonna know that!
“The Paul folks couldn’t get their people turned out for the caucus,” said veteran Nevada political columnist Jon Ralston. “But they outmaneuvered the Nevada Romney people ever since and dominated the county conventions and this is the inevitable result. The question remains: To what end?”
Nevada delegates are bound by the state’s results on the first convention ballot, so Romney will still get their support. Paul’s Nevada supporters are not challenging that rule, for fear of losing their convention seats altogether. Delegates who abstain will be replaced with alternates.
But some Paul supporters are hoping for a brokered convention, at which they could back Paul on subsequent ballots. Given Romney’s massive delegate lead, that’s highly unlikely. At the very least, they can vocally cheer for their preferred nominee and pressure the party to give Paul a bigger voice.
Paul supporters, which pulled off a trick in Maine, won 22 of Nevada’s 25 delegates, whether or not they actually vote for Paul.
To put this simply, the odds are looking better for Mitt than anyone else at this point, but it’s not over yet.
Mitt about to speak now: He’s having a good night thus far, but it’d be a better one if he won Ohio.
» The “duh” sentence in this story: ”His tax bill is significantly higher than the amount paid by most Americans.” What tipped you off, Wall Street Journal, the fact that there’s “million” in the amount?

We agree entirely with Governor Romney and Massachusetts legislators that our goal should be 100 percent insurance coverage for all Americans.Newt Gingrich • Speaking in support of then Gov. Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health insurance plan back in 2006, on a site long hidden in the annals of the Internet — well, until now. Archive.org is your friend, guys. source (via • follow)
I’ve challenged Governor Romney to meet me for ninety minutes in Iowa next week, anywhere, anytime. Timekeeper. No moderator. And we will bring all of his negative ads and show them for free and he can explain them.Newt Gingrich • Offering Mitt Romney a free Lincoln-Douglas style presidential debate ahead of the January 3 Iowa Caucuses; we hope that Gingrich decides to throw in a continental breakfast to sweeten the deal! They could, like, drink some juice, eat some rubber pancakes, and talk Israel. They wouldn’t even have to stand at podiums! They could just do it in the Marriott and put it on USTREAM. It’d be awesome. source (via • follow)
It’s wrong to go around and adopt radically different positions based on your need of any one election, then people will have to ask themselves, ‘What will you tell me next time?’2012 GOP candidate Newt Gingrich • Dropping a clear attack at Mitt Romney for his tendency to flip-flop. This is a change for Gingrich: Before this week, he was known for going out of his way to avoid criticizing his fellow candidates and pointing the trigger directly at Obama. Now that he’s suddenly in the thick of the race, it looks like he’s getting braver about going after the perceived frontrunner. source (via • follow)
