I know all the kool kids say there’s no difference between Obama and Romney. It’s fashionable these days. But no matter Obama’s faults (and yes, they are many) there is something deeply terrifying about letting soulless liars and public policy failures like Romney anywhere near the Oval Office. Just looking at the politics of the domestic auto industry is enough to make a rational person want to curse Republicans for generations. It’s so disgusting that it needs the softening of comedy to make it digestible. And for that we can thank the likes of Stewart, Colbert and their writers.
