Democrats: Mitt Romney blames everything bad that’s happened under him on other people

http://twitter.com/#!/TheDemocrats/status/223496007994974209

One of the leading presidential candidates has spent the past three and a half years blaming his problems on his predecessor. Guess what? It wasn’t Mitt Romney.

@TheDemocrats I know. It's crazy how often Romney blames everything on George Bush.

@TheDemocrats I think you misspelled "Obama" guys.

— Amy (@moderncomments) July 12, 2012

Hypocrite, thy name is @TheDemocrats. Seriously, after 3.5 years of Obama's Blame Bush meme, you're saying Romney blames others? #GetaGrip

Sometimes the comedy of horrors that is the Obama Administration actually is funny.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breath* HAHAHAHAHA OMG RT @greg_zemaitis: HAHAHAHAHAHA —> https://t.co/cBVa6Xwu

To be fair, the elected Democrats we’ve all come to fear and loathe aren’t running their own Twitter account. No, they’ve delegated that to a low-level staffer or intern. Conservatives felt a little sympathy. Well. Almost.

I actually kind of feel sorry for @TheDemocrats. Is it too early for me to go all soft like this?

— Kevin Eder (@keder) July 12, 2012

They signed up for it. RT @keder: My heart goes out to the poor intern who runs @TheDemocrats' Twitter account. Bless his or her soul.

— Ollie (@texasollie) July 12, 2012

@keder @thedemocrats Don't feel sorry for stupid, just chuckle softly.

Take heart, Democrats. There’s a learning curve to politics, even after three and a half years of running the country into the ground.

On the plus side, today we learned that @TheDemocrats know that blaming others is not very presidential. #Obama2012

This Mom Lit Candles. The Next Day, She Saw Something Alarming In Her Baby’s Nose

Candles are usually my go-to gift for someone who has everything. They’re pretty much a universally loved item.

It is estimated that seven out of 10 homes regularly burn candles in the United States, but did you know that most candles come with a warning label that says how long you should let them burn at a time?

One day, Meghan Budden lit two candles and let them burn for several hours, thinking nothing of it. But the next morning, she woke up to discover traces of soot inside her nose. Later, when she was taking care of her baby boy, she saw that he, too, had soot in his nose. Budden was understandably concerned and went to her family doctor with her son.

Find out more about Budden’s story and how you can enjoy candles safely in the video below.

Soot has been linked to serious health problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and heart disease, so you should take the warning labels on candles seriously. Budden and her baby are lucky that they were given a clean bill of health.

Washington Press Club flubs Rep. Chaffetz’ state in dinner program

http://twitter.com/#!/mkhammer/status/299333364693999616

Who copy edited the program for tonight’s Washington Press Club Foundation dinner? Maybe it was the same person who copy edited the program for Ed Koch’s funeral. Jason Chaffetz represents Utah, not New Mexico, but at this point, what difference does it make?

.@jasoninthehouse gets burned by the press club twitter.com/Timodc/status/…

— Tim Miller (@Timodc) February 7, 2013

Chaffetz, with Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, was on hand to speak to the press, many of whom viewed the dinner as prom night.

Ready for it? Congress prom is tonight! Chaffetz, Heitkamp, @majorcbs. Follow along at #wpcfdinner

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 6, 2013

69th Annual Congressional Dinner; yearly prom for reporters and Congress. Reporters invite congressmen as their “dates.” #wpcfdinner

With so many reporters in the same room, imagine the secrets we’ll learn about Washington’s inner workings.

Something I learned at #wpcfdinner: lawmakers who live/sleep in offices walk halls of bldg in pajamas at 3am and play video games together

Lot of droning going on at this #wpcfdinner

Update: With the help of Heitkamp, Chaffetz left little doubt that he’s from Utah by engaging in some Mormon humor.

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s wife cracking up as Heitkamp asks if it’s “cozy” sleeping in his office with Donnie and Marie Osmond posters.

— jennifer bendery (@jbendery) February 7, 2013

But Chaffetz gets in an awesome joke. Says they wanted to save money on alcohol by inviting him, jokes: Is the senator from Idaho here?

— Patricia Zengerle (@ReutersZengerle) February 7, 2013

MT @reuterszengerle: Chaffetz, a Mormon, also jokes that he brought his wife, his “only wife.” #wpcfdinner

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 7, 2013

.@jasoninthehouse: “I don’t know why the approval rating for Congress is so bad – we haven’t done anything!” #wpcfdinner

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 7, 2013

.@jasoninthehouse quips he’s diverse choice in GOP: “With a name like Chaffetz that’s almost like being Hispanic.”

— Christina Bellantoni (@cbellantoni) February 7, 2013

You guys, Rep. Chaffetz has been talking for 5 min and he’s already made jokes about polygamy, drinking, GOP catering to minorities. Win.
