Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

During last night’s Republican presidential debate in Florida, Tim Russert asked Mitt Romney a question about Social Security.

Just before Romney replied that he wouldn’t raise taxes, someone is heard to whisper the term “raise taxes.”

The story is HERE.  Be sure to listen closely for the whisper.

    An off camera whisper from an unknown source that could be either a political advisor, one of the other candidates, or a broadcast technician is just a “could be” and pretty much makes this a non-story.
    Now, if it came from a receiver in Romney’s ear, powered by a mysterious “lump” on his back? That would be a story.

    In an interview on Jan. 23 of 2006, Barack Obama told Tim Russert that he would NOT run for president and assured viewers that he would serve out his full 6-year term in the US Senate. I guess that was a “mysterious whisper” too.
