There's a campaign slogan in there somewhere.

Mollie, how on earth were you able to slog your way through a 5,500-word WaPo Politics feature story?

I think we can all agree that's the real issue here.

I'm generally unmoved by the thought of a Romney presidency, but...

What. A. Hottie.

Bill McGurn highlighted this exchange several days ago as well.

I feel guilty for the remainder of the day with a vague sense that I may have violated a foundational principle of conservatism.

I just keep reading this sentence over and over and laughing.
