Could this be why RMoney was so "excitable" last night?

Look carefully:

[Siwsan]

1. Diet coke and candy diet?

Am I close??

And, I thought those temple garments were supposed to extend down to just above the knee. Annie looks to be showing quite a bit of leg, there.

2. Diet Coke?

It's unopened.

3. Mormons don't drink stuff with caffeine

At least the ones i've known don't. Maybe that belongs to someone else.

[LadyHawkAZ]

6. There are purists who consider all caffeine a "hot beverage"

most rank-and-file will drink Coke, though. The official church position is that Coke is OK, or at any rate not expressly forbidden by the Word of Wisdom.

7. Not 100% certain, but it looks like caffeine free Diet Coke.

But whatever it is, I hope he fucking chokes on it.

8. Sure they do

they refrain from certain hot drinks - no tea and no coffee, but when I lived in Utah, the Mormons that worked for me loved Mt Dew and Cola. Lots of it.

4. Uno is another Mormon favorite.

But I credit something else for Romney's jittery, watery eyed spaz attack up there on stage. The Romney camp was complaining about the train noise that kept Mittens up all night before the debate. So they did what any campaign would do: Slipped Mittens some speed. Being pleasantly surprised by Mitten's aggression and ongoing ramblings, they're probably going to try this more often. By November, Mittens will have to go to rehab.

5. I wouldnt be surprised

Mit was unusually revved. I thought amped up chemically.

11. Ritalin Romney.

16. that would do it

"Ritalin Romney" --- Maybe Ann can name her next racehorse after him...

Performance-modifying substances

Identification of these substances in a horse is viewed with great regulatory concern. Testing for these substances usually proceeds at the highest level of sensitivity possible, so-called "zero-tolerance" testing. About 850 or so substances are classified by the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI) Uniform Classification System for Foreign Substances as potentially performance enhancing in a five class system. The most complete listing of such substances is found at http://www.arci.com/druglisting.pdf.

Stimulants
Among the equine stimulants are amphetamines, as well as the amphetamine-like drugs such as methylphenidate (Ritalin).

9. His eyes were very twitchy.

He did look like he was on something.

10. It took me about a minute . . . l

. . . to come to the same conclusion. Almost certainly some uppers in the picture.

12. One of my first thoughts last night was

what the hell is romney on? He was scary.

[Kindly Refrain]

13. I don't get the whole jenga thing.

I saw a different Jenga photo somewhere on the web yesterday and thought it was a gag. So, what's their angle with playing Jenga before the debate? I mean, who does that???

[mrs_p]

14. WHAAT?

yeah, could be

[librechik]

15. Is that a pile of coke on the table?

oh, wait---that's a BOTTLE of coke on the table.

17. He was totally high last night...buzzin on something. n/t
