not the oninion... this shit is real brother!!
btw, I have decided that it is ok to present Romney as 'the other', because he pretty much is the other of EVERYBODY

'Look how tiny shes gotten. Shes lost weight. Shes energetic. Just her spark-plug personality is kind of fun.'

As a devout Mormon, Mitt Romney is not allowed to drink alcohol, coffee and tea or smoke cigarettes - but he does have some surprising guilty pleasures.
The politician revealed in an interview with Kelly Ripa that he is a big fan of Jersey Shore star Snooki, loves peanut butter and prefers to sleep naked.

(982 posts)And what's this? he's got a heart?
Because God just loves people who lie to provoke war and killing, lie to steal from the masses to give to the already super rich....
Just who is this man worshiping because it ain't God.

(20,166 posts)but this consists of talking points designed to show him as "just a regular guy really, once you get to know him." Because they can't cast him as "the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with" (even though Bush was supposedly a recovering alcoholic), they have to find other ways to make him appealing to the commoners.
Speaking about Snooki, he said: 'Look how tiny shes gotten. Shes lost weight. Shes energetic. Just her spark-plug personality is kind of fun.' (See, he's hip and follows the one the hoi polloi call Snooki)
He also likes to indulge in peanut butter sandwiches, chocolate milk and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. (Kind of reminds of Reagan's jelly beans and Bush Sr's pork rinds...see how "just folks" he is?)
Asked what he wears to bed he said: 'As little as possible'... (Maybe a little Clintonesque there, e.g., Clinton saying he prefers briefs over boxers)
I don't know...maybe I just need to step away from the election for a while.

(5,946 posts)as a good mormon, isn't he supposed to wear his temple whatever underwear to bed?
edited for quote
Asked what he wears to bed he said: 'As little as possible', that is when he can get to sleep, for the Republican said he is often kept awake at night.
As little as possible is not naked.

(110,159 posts)i am more bothered he even knows her and creeped out this fuckin old man is nudging up to snooki in this manner of familiarity.
anyone else think this is a little creepy.
weird
lordy, this man is stupid.
RepublicansRZombies
(982 posts)But he's got time to watch Snooki.
This man is an embarrassment to our nation.
This is incredibly embarrassing that he is even running.
Can't someone just yank him off the stage now, this is all a bad dream..this is all a bad dream...this is all a bad dream....

(42,766 posts)It sounds like he might be trying to reach a different demographic perhaps but I
suspect most non-committed voters have made up their minds by now that he is a
weasel. All he is doing is alienating the hard core fundie base that he had at one time.

(60,536 posts)then Senator Obama was asked, "boxers or briefs?" He responded, "that's not an appropriate question." Mitt was probably washing his protective undies at that point in time.

progressivebydesign
(19,458 posts)He has to be sure to hit all the bases. Nelson Mandela shouldn't piss off his right wing racist tea baggers too much, but lets the less racist voters know that Romney knows the name of one other black person and would actually eat with him. The "snooki" comment, plays to those wacky young kids out there, and the New Jersey voters. The sleeping in as little as possible is trying to paint him as a sex symbol.. for the ladies!!

catbyte
(34,447 posts)This campaign is just getting worse and worse. I think college courses will be built around the dissection of the 2012 Romney/Ryan campaign. The slow motion car crash that is R/R is proof positive that all the money in the world won't help if the ticket is fatally flawed. It's sort of like visiting the Reptile House at the zoo--you're repulsed but fascinated. You can't look away.

(2,940 posts)"Snooki is the right height! See, I'm human, and I'm hip and down with regular American popular culture!"
It seems like proving he's human should be a low bar to clear, but Romneybot 2012 seems to keep coming across as phony.

(59,504 posts)One really weird part was this:
They first met at a party, Ann caught Mitt's eye but had come with another date. Never one to shy away from competition he sidled up to him and said: 'You know, I live closer to Ann than you do. Can I give her a ride home for you? And he said sure. So, weve been going steady ever since then.'
Either Ann's date did not really want that relationship to continue or he trusted Mitt. At any rate, why tell a sorry that makes Mitt look like a jerk?
nolabear
(41,991 posts)Forget Snooki; a presidential candidate should never answer the question "What do you wear to bed?" Politely demur.
And that Bush story is a creepfest. Why would she DO that?

I even emailed them and told them to get kelly to use her big girl voice and act like she's
half way normal.
Ever since the birth of one of her children when she said she bought $600 sheets for the baby bed, i cannot bear to get through one entire hour of her.
