10:45 Big Bird is tiny: Mitt Romney says hed help bring down the deficit by cutting PBS and Big Bird. PBS receives about $445 million from the federal government, which represents about .01 percent of the federal budget.
10:20 Romney left his heart in Zurich: Romney tells Obama, The place you put your money is a pretty good indication of where your heart is. The obvious rejoinder, ready-made for a DNC attack, is that Romneys heart must be in the Cayman Island, Bermuda or Switzerland, where Romney has put his money.
10:10 The same fucking bill: Romney says his healthcare plan in Massachusetts is very different from Obamacare. The guy who designed both the plans calls them the same fucking bill.
10:00 Romney sees death panels: Romney comes dangerously close to invoking death panels, saying Obamacare has a board that will tell people what kind of treatment theyre going to get. Hes referring to IPAB, a board of doctors, hospital officials and government officials who try to find best practices to reduce the cost of Medicare (and only Medicare no one elses healthcare which is already a government plan). IPAB does not decide on individual cases, is subject to congressional oversight and is legally prohibited from rationing care. In August, Paul Ryan told Florida seniors Obamacare has a rationing board.

I loved Lurch too. Then again, my first crush was Brains from the Thunderbirds. Yes, you read that right...I had a crush on a marionette.
