This edition, for the week of September 9th, includes quips about the GOP primary debate, #attackwatch, the New York special election and much, much more:

10. jtLOL: Obama thinks you’re stupid, America, and it’s based on some very strong evidence: You elected him.

9. secupp: Watch out, monthly jobless report. @AttackWatch is onto you. #attackwatch

8. TPCarney: Remember the Special Election Rule of Thumb: All politics are local if the Republican wins.

7. JonahNRO: So I have nearly 7 times more followers than #attackwatch. I think I deserve a nice gold attackwatch.

6. jimgeraghty: Voting today, Weiner “showed up alone, wearing jeans and a blazer.” It’s bad when news reports need to emphasize you were wearing pants.

5. andylevy: I always thought that ultimately this election would be all about vaccines.

4. rickperryfacts: Rick Perry likes to knit sweaters in his free time. And by “knit,” I mean “kick”, and by “sweaters”, I mean “liberals.”

3. SteveMartinToGo: They say that starvation diets don’t work. Actually, they do.

2.ExJon: #AttackWatch There’s a new Twitter account making President Obama look like a creepy, authoritarian nutjob: @AttackWatch

1. BorowitzReport: When Ron Paul’s political career is over he’ll have a great second career shouting at people on the street.
