The Stench of Death
After reading Mark Halperin's input about Romney and the Romney campaign having a stench of death about it, I was so relieved. Now I know why when my wife and I watch MSNBC around dinner time and they show a clip of Romney or Ann Romney or Paul Ryan or that Obergruppenfuhrer Reintz Priebutt, we both get severely nauseated by some smell. The smell is hard to describe.....it's acrid, foul, with a heavy dankness to it. I remember in medical school they told us that rotting corpses give off a foul stench do to a degrading fatty chemical called cadaverine [no lie], so this must be it. What I want to know is: how do I get rid of it and still enjoy Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and the gang?
