Here Comes the Ocean and the Waves Down by the Sea

Jim Geraghty points us to Mitt Romney's "Nissan Infiniti ad."

Here's the close: "I'd like to keep pornography from coming up on their computers. I'd like to keep drugs off the streets. I'd like to see less violence and sex on TV and in video games and in movies. And if we get serious about this we can actually do a great deal to clean up the water in which our kids and our grandkids are swimming."

This raises a couple of important questions. When did Romney hire The Onion's editorial cartoonist as a full-time policy maven? And what's "get serious?" mean? We can answer all that, but first, look at the water. Doesn't it make you want to sleep... sleep... ... ... sleep.
