“There are too many poor people nowadays. Please tax the shit out of them. I am not a crackpot.”

Shorter Buzz Bissinger: “I used to be a Democrat. Them I figured out that I’m sitting on a big pile of cash, am therefore willing to repeat transparent Republican dissembling that conflates “income taxes” and “taxes,” and am also unable to understand a rule that can be quickly grasped by any halfway-bright 12-year-old Little Leaguer, so I’m voting Romney.”

Or, as Josh Zembik puts it, “Buzz Bissinger’s new support for Romney is almost Dennis Millerian in its superficiality and laziness.” Well, except that it’s too kind — as with David Mamet, it’s so lazy and superficial it out-Millers Miller.

UPDATE: For those who would prefer to avoid the rotten mangoes, Bissinger’s column is available in video form:
