GOP FOLLIES
The interminable schedule of televised debates starring a rogue’s gallery of Republican presidential contenders provided ample fodder for Stewart, Colbert et al. this year. With Rick Perry forgetting the third of three federal agencies he’d eliminate if he was elected; pizza mogul Herman Cain getting taken down by alleged affairs; Newt Gingrich revealing his stomach-churning open marriage; even whooping from the audience when Ron Paul was asked about letting an uninsured person die if he couldn’t pay for medical treatment—the callowness of the GOP field was painfully on display. And that was before Mitt Romney, Gingrich, and especially Rick Santorum tried to out-douche each other debating women’s right to birth control and perfectly legal medical care. We couldn’t make this stuff up.
