Hi Kossacks! It's Saturday night so I thought I would lighten things up a bit. Originally, I was going to call these "Top Ten Republican Gaffes" but there were too many. So I decided to amend the title. But the spirit remains.
For all the gaffiness only Republicans can bring, join me below the double gnocchi. But first, a word from our sponsor.
