Today I told Paddy that I was getting a little disgusted with the excessive and fawning media coverage of their  new shiny toy, aka Willard Romney’s veep pick, and of course the pivot from Romney’s secrecy and evasive ways regarding his own record (read: tax returns).

It’s time to go back to focusing on all of that and of course the sheer insanity of the Romney/Ryan Road to Ruin budget (h/t: Sandi Behrns for that one). Hence, this post.

Coincidentally, my Twitter pal and a regular contributor to my Blunt videos, ArrghPaine, tweeted this:

Oh noes! #RyanVPShinyObjectDistration won’t stop #WeThePeople from demanding disclosure from Romney.

Seems Arrgh and I share a brain.

And another Twitter pal @StillJohnCA tweeted this:

Mitt Romney is only trying to make it thru the GOP convention. Now, the buzz about a brokered convention is over. Done. See?

Willard the Coward has made it his mission to get through this election without answering questions, without giving us details about who he is, and without offering specific solutions to specific problems. He’s been Etch A Sketching, slipping, sliding, and skating, but he has not been forthcoming. He has not been honest. At all.

Let’s not forget that and let’s not get completely sidetracked by the distraction of the week, Paul Ryan.

As I watched David Gregory slobber and refer to Romney as “courageous” for choosing a tea bagger as a running mate, I wondered, why would Romney be considered “courageous” for picking a guy who is less robotic who he can hide behind and rely on to simply make fewer gaffes than he does?

A guy whose budget plan would be disastrous for this country?

A guy who supported Bush’s fraudulent war without having ever served in the military himself?

A guy who the “Wall Street Journal said would ‘Essentially End Medicare.’”?

A guy whose budget “Contained Massive New Tax Cuts For Wealthiest Americans Above And Beyond The Bush Tax Cuts”?

A guy who “Voted Against Raising Pell Grants”?

 @Jennyjinx tweeted:

@GottaLaff Romney was courageous for picking a guy that Fox News and Ann Coulter told him to pick.

And it’s likely that the Koch brothers and Grover Norquist had more than a little influence as well.

“Courageous” my ass.
