DON'T MESS WITH MITTENS

Mitt Romney Throws John McCain Under The Bus

Ha ha FIE ON YOU, JOHN McCAIN, for spurning the robot Mitt Romney in favor of Klingon Sarah Palin! The Mormon plutocrat could have helped McCain solve the financial crisis by selling the entire American economy to Bain Capital and then liquidating it, but noooo, McCain went with the nut instead. And now Mitt Romney is so mad that he cannot bring himself to say that John McCain has run a “dignified” campaign.

Here is the thing to like about Mitt Romney: he’s a phony, but he’s a transparent phony. He doesn’t even pretend to be genuine. And when he weasels his way out of a question, he does it in a painfully obvious, painfully weaselly way. Americas will always regret not having the opportunity to vote against him in the general election.

    That’s it. Mormons are in the tank!

  2. Uncle Al says at 2:03 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    She should have followed up with:
    “Mr. Romney, do you think your wife is still beautiful?”

  3. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:07 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Every Republican guest does the same thing - ignore the question and launch immediately into talking points. And every host spends the whole time trying and failing to make them answer their questions.

  4. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:07 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Romney/Palin 2012! The wing nut Mormon & wing nut regular gal ticket that unleashed will cause plagues of locusts to rapture to Alaska. I can’t wait.

    “…and who is it that’s gonna create jobs. I spent my life in business, as you know…”

    Yeah — cutting jobs.

  6. Custerwolf says at 2:08 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I’m sorry - did you say someone was beating off a dead horse?

  7. a-petit dejeuner says at 2:08 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    …it was presidential.

    Is that what young people are calling it these days?

  8. ManchuCandidate says at 2:09 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Oh boy! Between Klingon Caribou Barbie and Mitt “Ken Doll” Romney, 2012 for the Republican Party is merely buying a Barbie Dream House from turning into a plastic faced, gonadless, and stupid farce for closet cases intimidated by GI Joe’s Kung Fu Grip.

  9. Does this mean Mitt the Mormon hasn’t joined ranks with Joe the Plumber or that he has? I’ve lost count of who’s endorsed whom and why or praised with faint damns. It’s all just a mess.

  10. elcapitan says at 2:10 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    NewSpence: That’s it. Mormons are in the tank!

    Dammit. Can we put them in a separate tank at least?

  11. Mr Blifil says at 2:10 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Similarly, Mr. Romney, how many goats do you typically fuck during a 4-week period?

  12. mattbolt says at 2:10 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Thank you for your courage, Brother Mitt! All praise to Mormon Space Jesus, the alien carpenter who rid Missouri of the blacks! Please present Brother Mitt with a special pair of magic Mormon underwear for his good deed.

  13. HuskyMescan says at 2:12 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I’m sorry but why is Wonkette showcasing Disney’s patented animatronic human? If I wanted to see this, I’d go to the muthafuckin Country Bear jamboree.

  14. MoodProcessor says at 2:12 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Uncle Al:

    Or, “Mr. Romney, please take a minute and blow your nose. Nobody like the sound of a congested liar. Oh, and by the way, your an asshole.”

  15. Well if by goats you mean wives…

  16. Let’s give Mitts a 9.4 degree of difficult as he swan dives into the tank.

  17. NoWireHangers says at 2:14 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Looks like Mittens has been sexin’ it up in the tanning bed with the Palinator.

  18. NewSpence says at 2:14 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    elcapitan: A baptismal tank?

  19. fuckinredneck says at 2:16 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    THIS MORNING Romney heard on the radio that a black man was about to become president.

    He pulled his very expensive sedan to the side of the road and wept.

    TEARS OF ANGER

  20. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:16 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Barry needs to hook Matthew up with a gay brother. You can tell Matt is secretly in love with the black/muslin/fist-jabbing terrorist or he wouldn’t be so obsessed with him.

  21. Paterlanger says at 2:17 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Now that Bill Kristol has put out the word that Palin = happy ending Romney will have to fight for the chance to run with Sarah.

  22. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:18 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Doh, I meant to post this in the Drudge thread.

  23. HuskyMescan says at 2:19 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Moroni is in the tank.

  24. fuckinredneck says at 2:21 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Also, when Shit Romney dies and becomes the god of his own moroni universe, he himself will be the vice presidential pick there forever.

  25. a-petit dejeuner says at 2:23 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: Oh that’s beautiful.

    I meant the comment, not the thought of it actually happening.

  26. Does Bain Capital have anything to do with Barbara Bain? I’m sure not. Sigh…

  27. It’s true. They don’t answer the questions. From now on, talking-head shows will be like the end credits on Laugh-In, where the little doors open and each little person gets 10 seconds.

  28. problemwithcaring says at 2:28 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    WahWahWah! Barry had the most negative campaign in history if you look at the numbers! Waahwaaahwaaa! But, you know me, I don’t think there is much to be gained by whining and blaming your opponent.

  29. Governor, do think that the Mountain Meadows massacre was dignified?
    Governor, does your indulgence in sheep violate the rules against polygamy?

  30. Why is Mitt Romney being a flip-flopping weasel news, again?

  31. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 2:34 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    He called the campaign “presidential”? As in “for the presidency”? BWAH!

  32. norbizness says at 2:35 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Mittens! YOU NAUGHTY KITTEN!

  33. trondant says at 2:46 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Aw, c’mon. He *was* trying to answer the question. It’s just that he doesn’t know what “dignified” means.

  34. norbizness says at 2:47 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Bob: It’s also campaignical.

  35. “get out there and tell ém your message…”Tell? What? Another dimwitted biznes dude thinkin he’s all that and politickin and what not…

  36. hobospacejungle says at 3:16 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    McBain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. sublicon says at 4:20 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I’m not a Romney fan by any stretch, but I didn’t think he was really ducking the question. The answer that both campaigns have been “Presidential” was fair, I thought.

  38. Joey Ratz says at 4:27 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Ah, but first we’ll get to witness the Repub nomination! After all, someone must be on the top of the ticket. Palin, Mittens, Huckabee… So many fantastic candidates. Perhaps Dan Quayle might give it a shot once he sees the quality of the competition?

    Man, I find myself looking forward to the GOP 2112 nomination?! I must be truly fucked up. I blame the Black Muslin and his negative campaign.

  39. huffybike says at 5:26 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Mittens can’t lie; he wants to run again himself: http://tinyurl.com/5wgmg8

  40. heroinmule says at 6:31 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Does the Mccain campaign vet anyone? Do they just let angry plumbers and embittered presidential candidates (Mccain included) say anything? WHO THE HELL IS STEARING THIS TURD-SHIP? I CAN’T WAIT to read the obituaries on this piece of crap.

  41. heroinmule says at 6:31 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Pardon, **STEERING THIS TURD-SHIP**

  42. Unindicted Co-Conspirator says at 6:34 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    S.Luggo:
    I would add:
    Governor: Do you think that converting Jews murdered in the Holocaust to Mormonism is dignified?
    Is wearing bizarre clothing whose style was stolen from the Masons [the green aprons] in the secret parts of your temple dignified?
    Or for that matter, what about the sacred underwear?
    Is lying about you belief in polygamy dignified? [Even mainstream LDS Mormons still believe in polygamy in heaven]

  43. Unindicted Co-Conspirator says at 6:37 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    heroinmule:

    I also expect Rick Davis to join Bob Shrum in the incompetent campaign manager Hall of Fame soon!

  44. Q: “Is dropping trou, spreading cheeks and spewing septagenarian fart juices on the public at large dignified?”

    Romney: “It’s presidential.”

  45. Captain Swing says at 6:25 am, November 4th, 2008

    One thing is for certain, with this cretin around there will never be any shortage of oil, or slime.

    WALNUTS! may be an old duffer and his running mate a rabble rousing half–wit, but for sheer douchebaggery, neither of them even come close to Mittens.
