Hah!

Indeed. Another check mark in his box.

Kids shouldn´t get any say in these weighty matters. But since I´m a Rudy guy…it does. Absolutely. And it makes him more like Reagan, too.

Ah, but Rudy is hated by his kids. Surely that can only enhance his credentials in this area?

Thank you. Indeed I was. Well, it is a bit awkward but consider the upside.

Candidates should not make any references to pop culture at all. I expect them to work 80 hour weeks, crunch data, make tough decisions and have no idea what´s on TV. Romney proved himself back when he claimed that Battlefield Earth was his favorite novel. He has done so again. I bet he has never heard of Heath Ledger. I´d trust Mitt with the nuclear football.

Um, perhaps you were blessedly spared that particular cultural reference?

I need help with this. Who let the dogs out? What does it mean and why is it a bad thing to say?

No. No he didn’t, did he?

Have you seen the video of Mitt getting his picture taken with a young African American woman and asking her, “Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?”

Perhaps in context it wasn’t so painful, but in isolation it sure seemed like he had no idea what else one might say to a “person of color.”
