The Republican Party is giving up on its efforts to convince Todd Akin to withdraw in Missouri's U.S. Senate race, and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) hopes to rescue the right-wing congressman. Yummy.

Now, it’s one thing when Mitt gets criticized by the forty-seven per cent of Americans who are parasites sucking at capitalism’s teat.

By signing the pledge form below, you become an official member of Ann Romney’s Circle of Silence, an élite tier of the Romney for President Campaign.

All you have to do is shut the freak up until Election Day. That’s right, for the next forty-six days, I’m asking you to bite your tongue every time Mitt says or does something idiotic. If you think that sounds difficult, welcome to my world. And Peggy Noonan, if you’re reading this: you want a piece of Ann Romney? Then get in the ring, girlfriend, and I’ll mess you up good.
