Boy, reading Twitter in reverse after a debate is confusing. Thank you all for explaining "binders of women."
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

I was super confused by "binders of women." I'm not sure I'm less confused by hearing the explanation, but at least I know where my confusion is directed now.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Wait - after all that, he left his binders unfilled? That cad!
Nope, what happened was that when he took office in Massachusetts, a bipartisan group of MA women came to him with a binder of women qualified for appointments, because there weren't enough women in office.
It's worth pointing out that if as a governor!elect, he didn't know any women worthy of political appointments, that's pretty damning on the face of it. He shouldn't have needed to ask, if he even had (which he didn't).

The cat changed the tv from MSNBC to Fox while I was out walking the dog. I am very suspicious of this development. Old and crotchety is their core demographic though, so I guess I can't be too shocked.

I was really hoping that this would be the debate where a cartoon anvil would fall on Romney's head. I never get my cartoon anvils.

Doesn't basically everybody already think Romney is just saying whatever he thinks will get him elected? It's like he's transcended from the expectation of truth.

Heh, our Celtic punk band bassist's son, when he was a toddler, was forever changing the channel to Fox. We kept teasing him that he had a conservative kid.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Nope, what happened was that when he took office in Massachusetts, a bipartisan group of MA women came to him with a binder of women qualified for appointments, because there weren't enough women in office.
There is part of me that finds it extra entertaining that not only was his "binders full of women" comment tone-deaf, he was also trying to take credit for a woman's binder full of women.
