Elsewhere...

We learned that former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann overwhelmed the Associated Press' fact-checkers with her intellect.

Jim Drinkard, an Associated Press (AP) editor who oversees the wire service's fact-checking work, said, "We had to have a self-imposed Michele Bachmann quota in some of those debates." After the session, Drinkard said that there wasn't an actual numerical quota on Bachmann at the AP. It's just that if the AP had gone back and vetted all her claims that looked dicey, the result would "overload" the debate story. "Often she was just more prone to statements that just didn’t add up," said Drinkard.

Meanwhile...

CNN's Gloria Borger made the rather questionable claim that draft dodger Mitt Romney faced considerable danger during his time in France.

The doc also notes, as an example of Romney "becoming his own man," that he protested in favor of the draft that he so skillfully avoided, before moving on to the time he spent in France, a time that Romney once described as "tough" because the French were "not happy to see Americans, because we were in Vietnam at the time." Yes, you heard that right. Not only did Mitt Romney protest in favor of sending other people's children to die in Vietnam, even as he avoided service himself, he then complained about how those dying Americans made it "tough" for him while he was in France avoiding service. Perhaps to avoid charges of bias, the documentary steers clear of these contradictions, but then takes the whitewashing to blindingly absurd levels by introducing the next segment with the aforementioned most ridiculous statement I've ever seen on television. "In 1968, France was a dangerous place to be for a 21-year-old American," Borger says, "but Mitt Romney was right in the middle of it."

And, speaking of danger...

A Republican party volunteer warned senior citizens in Florida that President Obama will impose Sharia law. Or something.

"Well think really heard, you all sound like senior citizens, no? …. Yea, you don't want Obama, you don't want Obama because he'll get rid of your Medicare. You might as well say goodbye to it. … Yea, and I don't know if you have done any research on Obama or not, but he is a Muslim. He has got a socialistic view on the government, economy, the whole nine yards. If he had his way, we would be a socialistic country. …. Pay attention to Fox News. If you can get out and watch that movie 2016, do so, it has a lot of really good information. Just really read the newspapers and Fox News will help you."

Surely they can't be serious.
