(Updated October 17, 2012) Oh horrors! Terrible intelligence lapse. Both the wives were dressed in hot pink! Gasp! Somebody may lose their job over that. As for the speculation earlier in the day about Romney not knowing how to sit on a bar stool because he’s a non-drinking Mormon, that was a non-starter. They weren’t … Continue reading Presidential debates: Part Deux
