November 15th, 2009 11: 41 am ET mitty is a pompous empty headed tired old repug. he's as smart as sarah palin. both have the intelligences of a tree stump. who cares what he says. whatever President Obama does is never good enough or right in their eyes. as usual they don't have any solutions of their own. where were all these know-it-alls when bush/cheney started the wars and put this country in the mess we are in now. they just seem to not want to talk about the 8 horrible years of bush/cheney rule.

I have seen reports in my local rag of people being brought to court for 'roaring and shouting' and 'doing push-ups in the street' and similar ridiculous cases. if the guards have time to bring these cases they should not be complaining about lack of resources. we need a fiction section for patslatt, political walter mitty, but someone who doesn't even believe what he's writing
