The bobblehead candidate

The talk of the town about the Republican convention is Clint Eastwood talking to a chair & saying unseemly things to Obama. People are blaming it on his age--as if geriatrics is an excuse for demented politics--but Eastwood has been politically daft for decades. If anything, talking to an imaginary enemy on national TV is an improvement on his past. The real highlight of the convention is that an assembly of registered voters selected a bobblehead as candidate for president--proving once again that any schmo with a million bucks & billionaire backers can become president of the US. It’s no longer an honor; it’s an ignominy. Here Bobblehead Romney poses with some of the bobbleheads who selected him. They’re hard to tell from the Stepford clan. (Photo by Mark Boster/LATimes)

PS: Criticism of Bobblehead Romney is not a back-handed endorsement of Obomba.
