Skinny White Guy

Austin, Texas, three years and seven months later at the George W. Bush Library:

"Skinny, I've missed your anti-blog. I think you owe it to the country to start posting again."
"Mr. President, since you left office, the direction the country has taken has left me feeling maudlin," I said.
"I think you better go eat a Chik-Fila sandwich and use a better word like MALAISE. Then get back in the saddle. These new attack ads have all the power of a newkular bomb.Your country needs you."
"Yes, sir, Mr. President," I said, still feeling a bit maudlin.

Then the Romney campaign announced the pick for VP-- Paul Ryan. The attack ads immediately flooded the airwaves.


The ad was direct and brutal. First they claimed that unlike President Obama, Paul Ryan had never held a real job. When the Romney campaign countered that Paul Ryan worked as a fitness instructor, they seized the initiative.


Shock waves reverberated over the airwaves. CNN's Candi Crowley dubbed the choice a campaign "death wish."


The Romney campaign went into damage control. But was it too late?


The attack was focused and relentless...


Could the ticket recover from such a devastating blow?


 The attack didn't let up.


Is the campaign over before the Republican Convention? Can American survive four more years of hope and change? Will the Skinny White Guy buy an MP3 of "Alone Again Naturally," by Gilbert O'Sullivan and throw himself off a nearby tower?
