Synopsis: In a pre-emptive strike against President Obama’s annual State of the Union Address, everyday working American / soulless job-killing plutocrat Mitt Romney bolsters his case for becoming the next leader of our sub-great nation by reminding discouraged Florida primary voters that they reside in the most messed-up, depressing place in the USA and proclaiming that all their troubles are caused by the tyrannical federal government he desperately longs to draw a paycheck from.

DeleteJasper: we're trying to get things cranked up again around here ... keep the faith! The 2012 election is calling like a siren song ...
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for this idiot to mutter "Excellent" and ask Smithers "Who is that cephalopod?"
ReplyDeleteWith Romney's supplicating lapdog, Tim Pawlenty, in the role of Smithers -- not that he seemed to help any last night in Minnesota.
DeleteThat's better than Newt; I start worrying about Dead Zone-like scenarios:

ReplyDeleteBahahaha, genius. I can't believe he ever tried to pull the "I know what it's like to be unemployed" line with a straight face. Mitt could be unemployed for a hundred years and still buy a new Bugati Veyron (or whatever they have in the year 2110 - a Mr. Fusion-powered hoverracer, maybe) each and every year.
Somehow I can't picture Mitt behind the wheel of a Buggati Veyron. And where would he strap his dog?
