Naked journalist Mark Halperin is on the Fox News talking about Romney “likely” dropping out during this speech at CPAC today. Is he right? Couldn’t he be wrong? MAYBE HE’S WRONG?? Oh, false hope, ye demon! Let’s see what the Great White Hope, our Mittens Romney, has to say.
12:34 — Everyone has millions of sources saying Mitt will withdraw, but it’s not “clear” whether he’ll drop out during this particular speech.
12:35 — Karl Rove is saying this right now! He’s on the phone, eating fetuses… I think that’s the sound, eating fetuses, that we hear in the background.
12:37 — Ha! Laura Ingraham is introducing Mittens at CPAC. How much Obnoxious could there be in one room? I hope they all beat John McCain, still.
12:39 — If Mitt “suspends” his campaign, see, he can go back and raise more money for himself, since he has no money anymore. Seriously — he has $-500 million! But he also has about $200 million.
12:42 — Laura Ingraham shits all over John McCain for just “saying” he’s part of the Reagan revolution, but actually being a liberal black drug dealer gay man.
12:45 — Laura Ingraham sure is charming.
12:47 — Finally, she’s done. Here’s our big cheese o’ the hour! OMG, the crowd has NO IDEA that he’s dropping out. This is going to be brilliant.
12:48 — “When I spoke at CPAC last year, I was a loser. Now I am still a loser, but I’ve spent much more money.”
12:50 — If America doesn’t change its course, we could become “France of the 21st century.” [LOUD, LOUD BOOS]
12:51 — He looks like he’s gonna cry! I feel sorry for this guy. He tells these nutjobs whatever they want to hear, and they vote for John McCain. SINCE WHEN DOES PANDERING NOT WORK AMONG REPUBLICANS??
12:53 — Tell us about the Mormon Jesus. This is your absolute last chance.
12:54 — Medicare is a drug, and it must die.
12:55 — Fox News caption says, “ALERT ROMNEY: DEPENDENCY IS CULTURE KILLING.”
12:57 — Ha ha, says conservatives will not be dissuaded by “knowing glances.” You know, the way the liberals have those fiery “knowing glances,” the cartilage of fetuses stuck between their teeth.
12:59 — Big enemies: “Putin, Chavez and Ahmadinejad.” Since when did Putin make that class? Doesn’t he have nukes?
1:01 — We need to “get out that ‘weedwhacker’ for entitlements.” Ruh roh, the Barack smears commence!
1:02 — “Radical, violent jihad” = bad, because of Hillary Clinton.
1:04 — “Liberalism” will be renamed “Barack” or “Hillary.” The crowd shouts “Negro” and “dishwasher.” Mitt says “economic neophyte.”
1:05 — When are you quitting?
1:05 — OH OH IT’S COMING NOW.
1:06 — Basically, Barack and Hillary would welcome the terrorists, but John McCain would become the terrorists, for 100 years.
1:07 — He’s quitting, right now. He can’t go on, because of the terrorists. You know what this means: The terrorists are winning by making Mitt Romney quit! HAHAHHA.
1:07 — [THE MORANS IN THE CROWD ARE LITERALLY SOBBING BECAUSE JOHN MCCAIN WILL BE THEIR PRESIDENT]
1:09 — Mitt’s done. Brit Hume has declared John McCain the nominee. The terrorists have defeated conservatism! A beautiful, fitting end to the candidacy of Mitt “Willard” Romney.







Comments
The first thing I got out of it was "Unfortunately, size does matter."
Worst of all, McCain apparently kept in shape while he was a POW by watching Jane Fonda tapes!!!
Mitt's audience actually booed France.
Maybe they were actually booing underpants, I don't know.
The Mittards sure are riled up.
Are we taking bets on who he endorses? My serious bet in on Huckabee (HA!) and the funny on is on Barry.
@TJBeck: Mittards remind me of those earnest "insurance salesmen" that are really in on a pyramid scheme.
Could it be true? Mittens and Huckabee endorse Ron Paul!!!
Mittney, we hardly knew ye. You can change your undies now.
@HRHKingFriday: He reminds me of every IBM salesman I've ever had lunch with.
The sides of his haircut are more "high and tight" than usual. Unflatteringly so. He should've used Edwards' barber.
China and Asia?
oh also, becoming the France of the 21st century would save me loads of money on cheese. thanks Mitt!
@HRHKingFriday: Isn't that (a pyramid scheme) the entire idea of the Christian Conservitive movement?
I mean seriously, it's not like Amway or Lakewood Church exist NYC.
Door-to-Door Mittard: You see, if you'll just donate a small amount, say 400 dollars, payable to me, I'll put it in a money order through the LDS Church. Then, when the price of gold goes, up, you'll profit!
@HRHKingFriday: He won't endorse anyone; he'll damn them both to hell and fly into the sunset on the wings of the angel Moroni.
I bet in 1976 most of the morons in that crowd would have voted for Carter.
Mittens just compared himself to Reagan in '76. hint hint
What a maroon.
Confirmed by Mitt: He's taking his delegates to the convention
@Pupster: More like Reagan in '96.
They know, now. Let the wailing begin.
Romney: I love America and Jeebus so much that I am no longer running....
Wow, these d-bags really didn't know.
This is good news for our armed forces. Mitt Romney's many children are now available to serve in Iraq.
Also he blamed pornography for black people something or other. I guess he forgot about how much money that made him during his time at Marriott?
We can't retreat in the face of evil extremism. Just conservitive extremism, I guess.
Jim, you still with us? Did you pass out with excitement? Or alcohol?
Man, those pre-placed Mitt supporters are *bad* actors...
Hey, Mitt, it's Miller time!
cough, hack... go on without me!!!
"because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country."
@TJBeck: so he did? he dropped out?
"These smart pills taste just like rabbit poop" said a top Romney advisor.
@TJBeck: You're freaking me out--how are you making comments on Mitt's quotes as he's making them?? In my CNN feed delayed to screen for profanities?
I don't get it, he has Reagan's hair. How could he lose?
McCain next?
@flippin: I am Mitt Romney. I've been keeping it from you all till now. That's how.
Romney = "Real Hero of the Conservative Movement"? Lemme go puke right now
@flippin: the system takes years to upload. more fun to come!
@TJBeck: It'll be fun to watch Democracy continue without it.
@RICKUSHAY: McCain speaks at 3pm.
I have time to geek out to BSG season 2
No, it's a three-way campaign suspension / suicide pact, Romney, Huckabee and McCain all quit at C-PAC. They pass out the poison Kool-Aid (or flavored sparkling water) and in two hours start picking up all the bodies.
Rush is all in a lather. It's sweet like a paultard's tears.
[www.knst.com]
So what happens with the 2 or 3 delegates Mittman won? I suppose he should get to keep them. After all, he spent about 35 million for them. How's that for fiscal management.
@JohnnyZ: (suicide pact)
RON PAULZ!!!!LOL!

@Gopherit:
That "Rush in a lather" comment just ruined my lunch. I'm just too visual.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!
@JimNewell: At least the liveblog today was before the new episode of LOST! rather than during it.
@Monsieur_Grumpé:
He's going to license the technology as part of his value-added reseller scheme. Huckabee is going to pay through the nose if he wants any Mittens delegates!
@Monsieur_Grumpé: Add a loofa and Bill-O, and the image will be complete.
Saw a Paultard in a suit with a giant Ron Paul button heading to CPAC this morning! Woohooo
Sad but true: That's the best speech giving he's done his entire campaign, despite the factual errors about the war and such.
Well, you can't say he didn't spend tons of cash.
according to cnn women in the room teared up at the announcement? that's hillarious!
say it ain't so mittens!
@OH2DC: Checkmate.
I'm actually tuned into Rush, but it's just a circle jerk with one of his callers. Can't . . . hold . . . out . . . much . . . longer . . . Whew, commercial break!
@PaisleyPajamas: Concession speeches are always the best (See Townsend, Kathleen Kennedy and Kerry, John)
(best i could do in 9 min since getting the idea)
@rowast: at least they have those giant foam "Mitts" to wipe away their tears.
France in the 21st century has health care, a strong currency, nucular power and the hands down most incredibly nom-nom-nom-alicious FLILF in the Western alliance.
We are going to be the fucking ,b>Albania of the 21st century. Let the eagle soar like she's never soared before.
If Mitt wants to do something for the War on Terror, he and his kids should try peddling tracts in western Pakistan to convert the locals.
Aren't we already the France of the 21st century? We're unjustifiably smug and have a ruler with a Napoleon complex.
McCain'll get the GOP nomination, the conservative base will likely stay home, and Hil will become the next president. Oh frapcious joys callow callay
I might be a Paultard, but I'm not delusional.
@RothbardsZombie: At least you're not a fucking TIGER!
Well they said it from the start. He just wasn't Morman enough.
French TV shows us the Mitt's speech, it was very funny all those boos. Do they even know were France is ? Is France a city or a mainland ? Oh yes, the country where the president is perverted!
Here in France, people is saying that with M. Sarkozy we could become the United States of GW Bush ;-)...
Understand that Frenchies love you because you have what is missing in France (initiative, optimism, creativity) and I think we have what is missing in US (mainly healthcare).
