Morning Survey! Who Else, Besides Donald Trump, Is ‘Good People’?

by Rebecca Schoenkopf

Poor awkward Mitt Romney is coming under fire from respectable Republicans like George Will and Peggy Nooner for his embarrassing habit of trotting after Donald “The Donald” Trump and constantly licking clean the small fine hairs that ring his pooper. But Mitt says he should not be embarrassed, when asked about his association with Old Grossness over there, that he has the help of a lot of “good people”!

Donald Trump claims to be worth 3 billion dollars. That just goes to show that a good haircut costs three billion and one dollars.

nounverb911 May 29, 2012 at 11:12 am

How much are his bankruptcies worth?

Mahousu May 29, 2012 at 12:50 pm

That's assuming the stuff up there is hair. I don't think science has established that yet.

BaldarTFlagass May 29, 2012 at 11:10 am

On a rich man, there are no crotch hairs that are too fine for a presidential candidate to lenguate (lingulate?) upon.

actor212 May 29, 2012 at 11:13 am

I voted for Kelly Bensimon but only cuz I've seen her nekkid.

Also, Idi Amin. Whom I have not seen nekkid.

MoeDeLawn May 29, 2012 at 11:44 am

I watched "The King of Scotland" nekkid. And I saw a guy playing Idi Amin. Izzat the same?

finallyhappy May 29, 2012 at 3:45 pm

I voted for Richard Hatch- only now I think he is the Survivor tax evader- not the guy from BattleStar Galactica

nounverb911 May 29, 2012 at 11:13 am

Gary Busey libel?

SorosBot May 29, 2012 at 11:13 am

For Romney, "good people" are men like Trump and himself who were born into ludicrous wealth yet somehow consider themselves to have earned their fortunes.

Terry May 29, 2012 at 11:15 am

…and decided to share some of that money with Mitt Romney.

BaldarTFlagass May 29, 2012 at 11:14 am

"Rich assholes are good people too, my friend."

freakishlywrong May 29, 2012 at 11:17 am

And they are just the right height.

BarackMyWorld May 29, 2012 at 11:14 am

"I need to get 50.1 percent or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people."

Someone slept through the 2000 election, didn't he?

actor212 May 29, 2012 at 11:15 am

And through his own polling, apparently.

Barb May 29, 2012 at 11:21 am

I already tweeted him to tell him the magic number is 270 and not 50.1% You're welcome, Mitt!

actor212 May 29, 2012 at 11:26 am

You confuse the issues with your liberal "facts"?

Nostrildamus May 29, 2012 at 1:01 pm

The magic number is actually 5.

HistoriBarb May 29, 2012 at 8:15 pm

You weren't supposed to tell him!

I know exactly two people on that list.

God I'm young.

Chichikovovich May 29, 2012 at 11:30 am

I know exactly three people on that list. And two of them are Idi Amin. God I'm old.

Fare la Volpe May 29, 2012 at 11:52 am

I counted Amin as one.

Chichikovovich May 29, 2012 at 12:10 pm

Ah. So maybe I'm actually young!

fuflans May 29, 2012 at 2:37 pm

yes we know that.

freakishlywrong May 29, 2012 at 11:17 am

Nuge. The Nuge is good people. You know, the one who compared POTUS to a "coyote pissing on your couch" and asked Obama respectfully to "suck on his machine gun". He's another stand-up Mittens supporter.

pdiddycornchips May 29, 2012 at 11:20 am

True, in fact, if you even think it''s NOT true, Nuge will suck your pecker and rape your female producer.

fartknocker May 29, 2012 at 11:28 am

Let's just be honest and frank: Ted Nugent is nothing more than a goat fucking piece of shit. He claims to be this great American when in reality he's nothing more than a well armed version of Hank Williams Jr. I take a Nugent every morning.

BarackMyWorld May 29, 2012 at 11:17 am

Richard Hatch? Is Romney gonna pal around with people that played terrorists?

vtxmcrider May 29, 2012 at 1:39 pm

If Hatch has money, Hatch is "good people" to Romney … until, that is, someone advises him that Hatch is gay. Then Romney doubles up on the magic underwear.

fartknocker May 29, 2012 at 11:17 am

Dick Cheney is not a member of The Good People club.

BarackMyWorld May 29, 2012 at 11:23 am

The Mitt Romney Good People Club is very different than the Humans Living On Planet Earth Good People Club.

SorosBot May 29, 2012 at 11:17 am

I feel good that I have no idea who several of those people are – and ashamed that I have heard of some of them, despite avoiding all reality TV crap.

MissTaken May 29, 2012 at 11:44 am

I know them all. I'm so gross.

Lascauxcaveman May 29, 2012 at 12:07 pm

I recognize Richard Hatch from BSG. And Snooki only from comments on Wonkette. I don't know if I ever heard of the others.

SorosBot May 29, 2012 at 12:09 pm

So who are Puck from The Real World (well, besides someone from The Real World), Janice Dickinson, Richard Hatch and Kelly Bensimon?

MosesInvests May 29, 2012 at 12:16 pm

I actually know the first one. Puck was the skeevy, homophobic skateboard punk (from a wealthy family) who got his skeevy, homophobic butt kicked off the show in the first season of The Real World.

MissTaken May 29, 2012 at 12:20 pm

Puck was on the Real World SF. He was a gross bike messenger who would pick his scabs and boogers and wipe them all over the house while making fun of Pedro who was dying of AIDS.

Janice Dickinson is 'the world's first supermodel' who was a judge on America's Next Top Model with Tyra Banks. She's a bitch.

Richard Hatch won the first Survivor by being naked and figuring out that if you form an alliance you can win by being smarter than everyone else. He decided he was too smart to pay taxes on his winnings and went to jail.

Kelly Bensimon was on Real Housewives on NYC and got into it with Bethanny Frankel of Skinnygirl fame.

Told you, I suck.

SexySmurf May 29, 2012 at 12:26 pm

This will decide if you truly suck:

Who are these people?
1. Tiffany Pollard
2. Scott Disick
3. Drita D'Avanzo
4. Angelina Pivarnick

SorosBot May 29, 2012 at 12:28 pm

Aw, you don't suck; I still knew half the people, and knowledge, even of shitty reality shows, is nothing to be ashamed of.

I was gonna click on "Puck." But then I realized The Real World, not Midsummer Night's Dream.

TootsStansbury May 29, 2012 at 11:19 am

Romney should know from good people. Carnivorous predator that he is. Look at his choppers sometime.

ttommyunger May 29, 2012 at 11:20 am

So many shitheels, so little time….

prommie May 29, 2012 at 11:22 am

Aww man, I just heard my father's voice again when I saw that word "Shitheels." My father cursed in some variant version of English, Bayonne-ese, I think. There were 'shitsticks" too, and lots of people who should go "shit up a rope."

ttommyunger May 29, 2012 at 11:27 am

Would have prolly liked your dad.

BaldarTFlagass May 29, 2012 at 11:32 am

My dad is more of a "fuckstick" kind of guy. Or "dickweed," if there are ladies present.

prommie May 29, 2012 at 11:42 am

Is it a WW II thing?

BaldarTFlagass May 29, 2012 at 11:44 am

Not sure. My pops was Korea/Cold War/Vietnam era.

Mumbletypeg May 29, 2012 at 11:21 am

The first "Richard Hatch" that popped into my head was the one from the original Battlestar Galactica. Apparently he is still around. I have now dated my poor self as an oldz. So sue me.

BarackMyWorld May 29, 2012 at 11:27 am

He's actually a pretty good actor.

Mumbletypeg May 29, 2012 at 11:37 am

Mumbletypeg May 30, 2012 at 9:16 am

Now that *is* a show I vaguely remember being on the family t.v. evenings when I was super small — but since we had relocated from Palo Alto, CA to S.C. at the time the show premiered [1972], those views of the Golden Gates in the opening credits got my attention — and not much else, but I'm gobsmacked to see it mentioned again. If the show was any good I'll hope it's available on hulu or somewheres to re-familiarize myself.

SexySmurf May 29, 2012 at 11:21 am

Say what you want about Mittens, but he stands by his friends no matter how short-fingered or batshit insane they are.

Unless they're gay, and Bryan Fisher gets a hair up his ass.

"Good people" are born on 3b and think they hit a triple.

Pseudonymously_Joe May 29, 2012 at 11:22 am

I did sort of love George Will's takedown, especially because of how difficult it is to find a Republican he isn't in love with.

And, I mean, he was right, here: Trump is pretty much definitive proof that not only does money not by class, it's also not the inevitable consequence of intellect, hard work, or moral virtuosity.

And, since so much of Mittens's attempt to shift the discussion about his tremendous wealth to how being "successful" automatically makes him a good candidate, for reasons, the fact that Trump is still around, at all, starts to cut at the Mittens campaign message in much the same way that adopting Sarah Palin as a running-mate completely undercut the erstwhile McCain campaign's somewhat-effective "experience" narrative.

BarackMyWorld May 29, 2012 at 11:31 am

I had to side with Will on that one, since Trump didn't shy away from resorting to making fun of Will's haircut.

actor212 May 29, 2012 at 11:34 am

Yea, there was a case of the pot calling the kettle "nearer"…

James Michael Curley May 29, 2012 at 11:23 am

We in NY/NJ/CT have had to put up with 'news' about this poser since the late 70's. The mid-town NYC and Jersey City skylines are filled with his 'towers' all completed after he filed bankruptcy to get out of 'onerous impediments' like union contracts and zoning awards. When Romney goes down I hope they duke it out for the last cookie on the plate but I'm sure they will hire lawyers to do it who in turn will run up a large debt and file bankruptcy.

actor212 May 29, 2012 at 11:29 am

They had a really interesting show on PBS over the weekend about his go-to architect, Costas Kondylis, who now has the distinction of having designed more buildings in NYC than anyone else.

All of them phugly, but especially Trump Place over by the Hudson River.

prommie May 29, 2012 at 11:36 am

Step 1: Hire contractor
Step 2: Withhold payment after the work is done, on some pretense of a flaw or dissatisfaction
Step 3: Bring spurious lawsuit, force little-guy contractor to settle for 50 cents on the dollar.
Step 4: repeat ad infinitem.

In AC, his suppliers all demand COD, noone in their right mind gives Trump 30 days.

Limeylizzie May 29, 2012 at 12:31 pm

When MrLimeyLizzie and I were apartment shopping several years ago , the broker took us to some Trump monstrosity and MrLL, being a designer, was nearly ill and refused to look at anything other then the kitchen, claiming he had a "design headache".

James Michael Curley May 29, 2012 at 12:34 pm

Did it have an exterior wall?
It seems half of all of Trump's residential nightmares are waiting for completion due to 'when the real estate market improves.'

Limeylizzie May 29, 2012 at 12:40 pm

It was by the river, it was unbelievably vile .

pdiddycornchips May 29, 2012 at 11:24 am

When I read that list, all I could think of was all of these people are richer than I am and Idi Amin would be the only one I would have dinner with.

Oh — Pamela Gellar, Jerome Corsi and — how about that dead guy? Either Andrew Breitbart or JT Ready will suffice.

prommie May 29, 2012 at 11:24 am

If Trump had any hair on his ass, he would have had it transplanted to his head long ago. In fact, that explains a lot.

FakaktaSouth May 29, 2012 at 12:02 pm

Not owning a television set has a lot of advantages. I recognize Idi Amin (both times), Snooki is on TeeVee a lot plus on the cover of every magazine in the supermarket and Janet Dickerson was a Playmate or soft core porn actress–or both–many years ago.

Mitt isn't twice as bad as a mass murdering dictator but he is probably worse than all the others put together.
