It was posted a few months before but allows DUers to relive the hilarious moments of the Republican debacle

Palin, Pawlenty, Cain, Bachman, Perry, and Huntsman all falling off the horse while Romney just can't get his horse to pull

ahead no matter how much he whips that poor horse.

one at a time,
release his or her noisome foulness,
then sink slowly back into the swamp.
