Dying by the truth

Remember Gary Larson and "The Far Side"? Barack and Mitt last night re-enacted one of my favorite "Far Side" cartoons of all. A dog has drawn arrows and "Cat Fud" signs into the laundry room, all the way to the open door of the clothes dryer. At the open door stands a cat, peering in. Hidden behind the washing machine is the dog, thinking: "Oh please, oh please . . . "
It was hard to tell if Barack actually set the trap, or if Mitt just walked into it. Either way, as Mitt, challenging Barack's "act of terror" quote, walked closer and closer to Candy Crowley, with Barack edging him on ("Please proceed, Governor"), I could almost hear Barack holding his breath and thinking, "Oh please, oh please . . . " Then Mitt hopped into the dryer, and Candy ("He did call it an act of terror sir") slammed the door.
