I'm a bit worried that I've had to agree with conservative writer George Will twice in the past week.
First, he wrote in his Washington Post column last week that the Republicans need to start concentrating their efforts on taking the Senate and House in November because he thinks that the current Republican presidential field is too weak to have any chance to beat Obama.
Then, as a panelist on ABC's talking head show Sunday, he was asked about Rush Limbaugh's statements on calling the law school student who wanted to testify to Rep. Darrell Issa's committee on contraception a "slut" and a "prostitute" and later Rush's walk-back from the statement. His comment was that Rush's apology said the language was "inappropriate." Will said, "eating your entree with your salad fork is "inappropriate," what Rush said was far beyond that.
Finally, I just wanted to comment on the Mittster, who attended NASCAR's Daytona 500 last week and, when asked if he was a NASCAR fan, said he didn't follow it closely, but "I have friends that are NASCAR team owners."
If he's not a man of the people, who is?
It got me thinking, he's so much of a common guy, and with the Republicans now re-fighting the culture wars of the 60's, I'm hoping that someone asks him if he approves of the Republican war on women.
And, along the lines of his NASCAR answer, I would suggest, "actually, I love women, I always have, and its a strong family tradition. My great-grandfather was married to 5 of them."
