Romney and Guiliani's bad week

So Rudy Guiliani's daughter is an Obama supporter. Slate discovered her Obama button on her FaceBook page and wrote a squib that shot around the blogosphere. Too delicious to ignore. The blurb mysteriously disappeared but the story was out. I wonder who contacted the young lady and what was said? "Miss, just name the make and model of the car you would like at college in the fall. It's yours."

Rudy's bump smoothed out when Mitt Robot Romney told a crowd in Iowa that his sons are serving their country not in iraq but by helping him get elected president. Yes, driving in an AC-filled SUV now qualifies as military service in a Romney White House. If you share the same last name, of course.

Chris Matthews blew a gasket and let his mouth outpace his brain. "Why don't these necons, these chickenhawks, take their kids down to the recruitment ofices and sign them up for the army or marines?!"

Easy, Chris. It's the same reason you don't take your kids down to the mosque to volunteer them to be a suicide bomber. Parents don't control their kids that way. The US military is made up of volunteers and parents do not send their kids to war. The soldiers are legal adults -- granted they cannot drink in every state -- who volunteer to serve. Besides, the military brass doesn't want a draft or sldiers who were drafted by their parents. The jihadists, on the other hand, might want a gullible son of an MSNBC commentator for its next attack. Play some Hardball, Chris.
