And then there's farce, Mittens-style

The GOP nomination battle is tragedy turning into farce. The tragedy is what GOP control has done to the country in 8 short (long?) years; the farce is this campaign. So Mitt Romney has won Michigan. We have a Mormon multi-state panderer, a formerly truth-telling Vietnam veteran war hawk, and a preacher-turned-politican who can play the bass and joke with Letterman while saying evolution isn't true.

Mr. President???

Not far behind are a washed up actor, an endearing but nutty Libertarian, and a self-parodying, philandering, scandal-ridden ex-mayor.

It's a tossup! No, it's a sitcom!

Too bad John Cleese as Basil Fawlty isn't an American citizen. He could run for President and bring art and politics together at last.

Where are the adults?
