Use of Willard vs. Hussein at the conventions

I like it. Someone start saying “Hussein.” I think I’m ahead of the game so far.

Also I refuse to believe that Willard is his real name until Mitt releases his birth certificate. I’m still pretty sure his real name is “Mitthew.”

That sounds like an awesome name for a cat!

The horserace is what’s fun, though. Debating actual policy is pretty damn esoteric, boring, and it’s not like there’s anything you or I can do about it. But campaigns are fun. The speaches are fun when they’re good, and easy to make fun of when they’re bad, debates are a fine opportunity for heckling, and following the polls, and trying to figure out what it means that Romney is gaining is this one state, and Obama’s increased his lead in the other is pretty exciting.

Almost as good as Mittens. :slight_smile:

And you can’t call the guy Wilfred without thinking of a puckish, hallucinatory, pot-smoking dog–which would make those who do his bidding a bunch of spineless, schizophrenic lawyers. Hm…Life is really creepy sometimes.

I think Wilfred should legally change his name to Joe Six Pack.

So we’re a few days into the RNC Convention. Has anyone watching it been keeping a Hussein count?

Zero?

I thought Mittens was his actual familial knickname. Like Muffy or Kippy or Scabbers.

Aren’t all those, including Mittens, cat names?

Scabbers was a rat.
