I’m surprisingly amused by this.

1 cup light cream
.5 cup skim milk
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon unbleached flour
Pinch kosher salt, crushed in fingers
2 strips bacon (optional)

Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add the parmesan cheese, stir constantly with a plastic whisk until combined.  You should no longer be able to see the parmesan cheese.  Add the flour if sauce is too thin.  If sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon more of skim milk (add more if necessary).

Optional:  If you would like your sauce to be even worse for you have a good bacon taste, first cut two strips of bacon into .5 inch segments, and cook in the pan before adding your cream and milk.  Do not drain.

Brilliant.

So, let’s see how many subliminal references are in this video.  Watch it first, and then read on.

Okay, seen it?  Here goes:

1) Did you get the impression that Romney did this right after 9/11/01?  Nope, it was in 1996.  But it sure seemed like it.

2) Why?  Because he mentioned "New York City" specifically.  So you have now researched this far, you might but two and two together: Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York City in 1996.  He was a mayor that let someone’s daughter go missing in his own city on his watch.  Ouch.

3) "Business Partner."  Need I say more?

4) What does "surfed through the night" mean?  Shouldn’t he have been out looking for her?

5) He set up a command center.  Man, if he can command a small staff of people looking for a friend’s daughter, the US Army is the next logical step!

6) "Mitt has done a lot of things people say are nearly impossible."  What exactly does that mean?  He’s Batman?

And last but certainly not least:  I’m surprised the Romney campaign would let someone named "Robert Gay" on an advertisement at all.

It’s better than "Santa Baby."  Well…. Maybe not.  Could Rudy be any more obviously reading a Teleprompter?  He’s looking through the bottom half of his glasses.

At least there’s not a cross in the background of this video the way there is in Mike Huckabee’s pathetic pander to the Christian Right.
