Mitt Romney: “Limit(n -> Infinity, Sigma(i = 1 to n, i^2 / n))”
Chairman Obama: “Umm...yeah...what he said.”
What else could we expect from these enemies of America?
50 shades of gay.
When even James Carville, Michael Moore, and Van Jones state that Obama lost big last night, this hilarious editorial from the NYSlimes is truly clueless.
Thanks for steering me over there. After reading a few I think the word “unhinged” might fit best.
The mental capacity of the Old Gray Whore is alshermeric. The paper has reached the point of total senility.
This piece is balderdacious drivel written solely to have words to take up the space on the page.
He was heading for the exits before the second act!
Romney was a bot more polite than I would have been, but he definitely won the debate.
Obama had a looks on his face that said—Damn, he caught me in another lie.
