The Republicans are having their big convention in Florida this week, if the hurricane does not throw things too wildly out of whack for them. Apparently there is a stripper in Tampa who is doing a Sarah Palin act. I think I'd like to see that and get a good feel. Meanwhile, Maureen Dowd continues to lament the seduction of Mitt Romney, "Even though he once seemed to have sensible, moderate managerial instincts, he won’t stop ingratiating himself with the neo-Neanderthals."
This is a familiar line in discussions about Romney. He has a remarkably moderate record, even somewhat liberal, especially when he was the governor of Massachusetts. However, considering the larger arc of his Bain vulture-capitalist type of life, I am afraid that it is his moderate side that was the politically expedient act, even when it comes to the religious social issues. I mean, the man is a devout Moromon, which is rather cultish, like Scientology but with fewer celebrities. No, I don't think he is ingratiating himself with neo-Neanderthals. I think he is a Neanderthal.
