Not a whole lot, mind you. And not enough to make me ever want anyone to vote for him. He's just such a sorry mess of a candidate, to mock him at this point is getting way too easy. He's made himself into a sitting duck for every sort of attack from stunned liberals and pissed-off conservatives alike.

I don't think I've ever been alive and politically aware enough for the sort of blowout election this is shaping up to be. The MSM loves horse races, but I don't see how they can make a horse race out of this one. I think it's going to be a pile-on from here on out. The press hates him (aside from FOX, of course). I'm sure they're gearing up to start whaling on him in earnest now. That sort of reminds me of the picked-on kid in high school. Only fleetingly, though--after that I remember what a dick he is, and I wait for his next big breakdown.

One thing that is funny about all this: you know he's one of the 47% of Americans who pay no income tax, and he was neglecting to mention that when he went on his little rant to all his rich supporters. Wonder if and when that will come out...

...and the rest of the world screams, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF HORSE EXCREMENT!!!!!

“He’s extremely distraught about what’s happened at Penn State,” attorney Joe Amendola said in an interview with centredaily.com. “He never, never dreamed that anything he was accused of doing would have this type of impact on Penn State, not only athletics, but the university as a whole.”
Last week, Sandusky learned that Victim 2, whom he was convicted of assaulting as a child in a Penn State shower, had stepped forward and was devastated, Amendola said.

Sandusky, who was described by Amendola as being “in good spirits,” spends much of his time writing his account of events and Amendola said he expects Sandusky to speak at his sentencing.

In Salon today, Mary Elizabeth Williams shares her discomfort with Gabby Douglas's outspoken religious fervor at the Olympics. Williams says of the gymnast:

As a Christian myself (albeit one of those really freaky papist kinds), I’ve often wondered what it is about Christians like Douglas that unnerves me so. The closest I’ve been able to figure it is that Douglas and her ilk seem to espouse a faith based on what is commonly referred to as “The God of Parking Spaces.” It’s the deity that grants wishes to those who ask nicely. Douglas is a girl who has described God is the figure who’s “waking me up every morning and keeping me safe in the gym every day.” She told People Thursday, “I was on the bus and it was raining and I thought, ‘It’s going to be a great day.’ My mom used to tell me when I was little, ‘When it rains, it’s God’s manifestation, a big day’s waiting to happen.’ I texted my mom, ‘It’s raining. You know what that means.’” It means that Russian girl is going down, I guess.

While I also don't buy into the concept of God as a gumball machine or wishing-well, I'm also not sure how comfortable I am with criticizing a 16-year-old's comments, made right after she won a gold medal. Thoughts, anyone?
