Quote of the Day


"My first advice is to listen to reason when they formulate their positions. Reason never harmed a presidential candidate. My other advice is to check their watches from time to time: it is 2012, not the mid-1970s."

-- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev responding to Mitt Romney's claim that Russia is the United States' "number one geopolitical foe"

While it's true that Russia shouldn't be regarded as our BFF, Mitt's characterization of a country that's nominally an ally is stupid, needlessly alarmist, and nothing more than another attempt to take a shot at President Obama -- at all costs.

As for Medvedev saying that "reason never harmed a presidential candidate," he obviously hasn't been paying attention to this country's Republican party lately.
