NP - Romney/Ryan

Out on the hustings, with Ryan's usual tactic of charging people 15
clams if they want to yell at him denied to him this time around, the
zombie-eyed granny-starver got himself heckled pretty seriously at the
Iowa State Fair by people with fried Oreos on their breath. Watch him
carefully, though, because you're going to be seeing a lot of this,
because this is a guy with a jaw of pure Waterford crystal. The
hecklers get on him. He starts talking about their manners. The cops
come in and protect him from actual voters and not until the hecklers
are hustled away do we get the big shit-eating grin and the oily
Nixonian attempts at identifying with the audience by suggesting that
those people are "not from Iowa or Wisconsin."

This is the modus operandi. Throw the "civility" fish into the Beltway
media seal tank for people to applaud, using, at all time, the
"Soulful" setting on your zombie eyes, and then make a cheap dive for
the more immediate audience's emotional G spot by setting yourself up
as part of Us, as opposed to the unruly Them. Here's another example,
from an old town-hall meeting, where the local law manages to subdue a
septuagenarian and, once he knows he's safe from the wrath of the
elderly, Ryan makes a tinpot joke about the guy's medication.
