I love Bob Cesca's Goddamn Awesome Blog. He no longer calls it that, but it certainly is. He's a talented writer and has a devastating wit.
His recent assessment of Mitt Romney is spot-on:
As I’ve been writing for weeks now, Who is this guy? He has no core values, no plan, no opinions that last any longer than two or three minutes, and he’s running the most cynical presidential campaign in modern history, banking on the fact that many voters don’t follow these statements closely enough to track the flip-flops and pandering, while also assuming that all politicians are slippery liars anyway, so why not vote for the one who looks like a Sears mannequin candidate direct from central casting.
He’s a corporate raider with a record of shady investments and outsourcing overseas and is currently surrounded by neocon war-mongers. Worse, like Bush, he’s an empty suit who will be controlled by his advisers — capable of doing whatever they suggest for the sake of political expedience and re-election. Devoid of personal conviction, he possesses a CEO’s sociopathic ability to separate conscience from business and make decision without the pesky fog of morality. Whatever it takes — right or wrong — to make it through the day and to profit at any cost. Is this a safe bet for the presidency of the United States? Not a chance in hell.Go Bob Cesca!
