Less than two weeks before Iowa Republicans make their crucial caucus choices on the night of Jan. 3, George H.W. Bush offered words of support, if not an official endorsement, to an old friend, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. “I think Romney is the best choice for us,” former President Bush told the Houston Chronicle this week. “I like Perry, but he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere; he’s not surging forward.”

There are many species of mistletoe. But the kissing kind that is native to the United States, a semiparasitic plant that grows wild in certain parts of the country, is scarce this year because of a relentless drought in Texas and adverse weather elsewhere.
Looks like drunk holiday partiers will need to find a new excuse to force people to kiss 'em.
A study conducted on more than 100 changing tables in shopping centers, hospitals, police stations, and churches found that more than 92% contained traces of cocaine.
[Rep. Jim] Sensenbrenner was overheard saying that after buying all their “crap” (his word) a woman approached him and praised first lady Michelle Obama. He told the woman that Michelle should practice what she preaches — “she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.” Hold the phone! Did the congressman just say Michelle Obama has a FAT ASS?
Hold the phone! Did the congressman just say Michelle Obama has a FAT ASS?
But it's okay, because:
Amanda Infield, Sensenbrenner’s press secretary, tells ABC News that the congressman plans on contacting Obama’s office to apologize. “He doesn’t think the government should be telling Americans what to eat,” Infield said in a statement.
“He doesn’t think the government should be telling Americans what to eat,” Infield said in a statement.
So because fat-ass Sensenbrenner doesn't like the first lady trying to help kids from turning into fat asses like Sensenbrenner, he figured he'd insult Michelle "Holy God, have you seen the bod on that woman?" Obama's butt. But at least he plans to apologize. Okay then.
And here's his really heartfelt apology:
“I regret my inappropriate comment and I have sent a personal note to the First Lady apologizing," Sensenbrenner said in a statement today. His office declined to release the letter.
Almost moves you to tears, doesn't it?

[Donald] Trump, who's maintained that he's "always had a great relationship with the blacks," told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren that the African-American vote might play a big part in that triumph. "Well, I think I'd get a great cross-section. I think I'd get Hispanic votes, frankly. I think -- and people smile when I say it -- I think I'd do great with the African American votes. I think I'd do great with that," Trump said. "I just have a great relationship with African-Americans and African-American voters." And Trump wouldn't just siphon off minority voters from Obama, he contended. He'd also pick up union votes. "I also think I'd do very well with the unions," Trump said. "I've done great over the course of years, many years, with the unions."

As a proud son of South Carolina I must address recent unsubstantiated rumors published in The State that I, Stephen Colbert, tried to buy the naming rights to the 2012 Republican primary. First, never trust anything in a newspaper — except this column, and possibly “Mallard Filmore.” And second, these outrageous and scurrilous rumors border on libel, even if they are, technically, true. [...] So I called up the South Carolina GOP and said, “How much cash would you have to raise to keep your promise to counties? Off the record; I’ll never tell a soul.” They said, “$400,000.”I said, “I can cover that. No strings attached.”Of course, I can’t offer that kind of no-strings-attached-money without getting something in return. I told them I wanted the naming rights to the primary, and a non-binding referendum on the ballot. If they weren’t prepared to horse trade for these two requests, they should never call me back.Well, they didn’t call me back. They got on a plane and flew to New York to make the deal. Because money talks, B.S. walks, and $400,000 flies business class.
