Tonight takes “the candidate” to a Wyoming of yore, transporting the
Mitt cyborg for fund-raising to a bygone Bush-Cheney era that has otherwise
been erased from memory in 2012.
In
Jackson Hole, it will spend congenial hours in a virtual reality simulation of
a decade ago, mingling with Dick, Lynne, Liz and their very rich friends with
checkbooks after being projected back to the old civil rights era the day
before to be booed by the NAACP, a scene designed to be explicated for the
faithful by Rush Limbaugh.
Romneybots
are everywhere to be tracked down in a grownup version of “Where’s Waldo?”
If
there is a real person in all this, he is as elusive as those 21st
century actors constantly being teleported to movie sets of the 1930s or 1960s,
depending on the plot’s requirements. While flashbacks create an appearance of
actuality, the audience knows some demented director is really pulling the
strings.
Lovers
of old movies will recognize all this as a high-tech update of what Mel Brooks
did in “Blazing Saddles,” the classic spoof of cowboys sitting around a
campfire emitting brain farts and punching horses in the tale about undermining
a black sheriff that ends with a giant brawl breaking through studio walls and
spilling from one movie set to another.
Sci-fi
spectacular or Brooksian comedy, will the real Mitt Romney stand up? Voters
need a reality show before November.

One worrying (to you lot, anyway) aspect of Romney's NAACP speech was the resounding applause he received when he spoke of family and traditional marriage. 0 and his minions would do well to remember that gay marriage is not a popular thing amongst either blacks or Hispanics (the latter were responsible for Prop 8 in Cali); remember, so far it only whites who are attacked by leftists for being Christians (and Jews). Letting those blacks and Hispanics keep God is going to be a real problem for the commie dems.
The bottom-line question is will they vote with their God or with their faux Messiah? Remains to be seen, but I think that the "bedroom slipper"-wearing NAACP (this according to Obama, mind) showed something a bit "unexpected" at Romney's speech (that standing ovation was a tell, no?).
