I know, I know. Enough of the sausage-scandal (née sausagegate). I just have one last thought.
Back during the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial (heh heh, I said "guber"), now-in-office Governor Mitt Romney had a TV ad where he did jobs around Boston. One (we'll dismiss the idiocy of his "cleaning up Beacon Hill" while working as a trash hauler) was selling sausages outside Fenway Park.
His line in this scene of the ad: "SAUSAGES!"
I guess the whole goofiness last week at Miller Park reminded me of this ad, and of how silly it was for Mitt to be out picking up trash and selling (clearly less superior than those in 'Sconsin) sausages at a ball park.
If you can get it to work, there's a streaming video of this ad on his campaign web site: http://www.romney2002.com/multimedia/ Look for the "Work Day TV Ad" about half-way down.
I'm pretty sure even I could be govenor of Massachusetts...
SAUSAGES!
