Ouch. Soul crushing. Mitt Romney and the Infinite Sadness

7:28 AM - 26 Sep 12

[catbyte]

1. Heh, heh, heh

OMG

[factsarenotfair]

2. He's like a character from the tv series "Third Rock from the Sun"

[hlthe2b]

3. OOOh, I was cringing so much I wanted it to stop...

I certainly have had times when I felt "outside the joke", but damn. He's outside of EVERYTHING.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Wow.

Just wow. This man can NEVER be made President.

Dear God... people of the U.S.

[Arugula Latte]

5. If I may quote Joe Scarborough: "Oh Sweet Jesus."

I've decided that Romney reminds me of Richard Pryor doing an impression of the doofiest white guy you could ever imagine. "Excellent! That's just so excellent!"

[ohheckyeah]

33. "Pass the potatoes, darling. Thank you dear.

Will we be having sexual intercourse this evening?"

[Arugula Latte]

40. Bwa ha ha! That's it exactly.

Damn, I miss Richard. He was the best!

[ohheckyeah]

46. Yes, he was. I miss him, too. n/t

[Berlum]

6. heh heh heh

OMG

[PatSeg]

7. That was uncomfortable to watch

Its embarrassing to see anyone that awkward and inept.

[Barack_America]

35. Creepy.

The complete opposite of Obama's natural charisma and easy way with people. But then again, Obama has spent his life living with the common folk, whereas Romney has spent his living above us.

[PatSeg]

42. It isn't just "above" us

He has lived in a bubble that isn't quite like other people's lives. A lot of that has to do with his religion that tends to set itself apart from the rest of society. Its not that it is necessarily better or worse, it is just that it often tends to be separate. So when Mitt looks like he's rather clueless, I think he really is clueless, like a traveler in a strange land.

[Spazito]

8. He is awkward, stiff, has no social skills at all unless...

he's talking to other 1%ers. The ONLY time he seemed genuine, comfortable and told the truth about what he REALLY believes was in the 47% speech, imo.

[riverwalker]

9. it's like "I'm not a witch" on steroids

wow

[myrna minx]

10. Cringe worthy. My skin is still crawling.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Why does he want to be president?

He seems to be genuinely uncomfortable around people.

And as president, he'd be CONSTANTLY surrounded by people.

[LynneSin]

26. HE thinks being president is simliar to being Queen of England

Just show up to all the fancy events and wave to 'his people'

[renate]

12. that was genuinely hard to watch

I almost felt sorry for him until I remembered that he's not an awkward kid trying to make friends, he's a grown man who's destroyed thousands of lives.

[pamela]

14. He's only awkward when he has to mingle with the commoners.

I don't feel sorry for him. If he was with his buddies, cutting the hair of a gay kid, or hanging with his millionaire buddies, he would be perfectly at ease.

[valerief]

18. OMG, he's the LAST person in the world deserving of ANY sympathy.

He's a cold, heartless, callous misery-maker.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. How did this man make it in politics for so long?

[highplainsdem]

15. Money. In 2008, he spent over $42 million of his own money to make himself look like a credible

candidate.

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/02/21/romney_spent_423m_of_own_money/

[valerief]

16. The man is clueless on how to speak to people. It's like he's a tourist

in an exotic land, and he only knows a smattering of the local language.

[Doodler71]

17. Awkward

He is the definition of awkward.

[gopiscrap]

19. I love it

sounds like Joe has had enough of Willard

[jbnow]

49. Per Vanity Fair Joe wants/plans to run in 2016.

First, Joe flirted with the idea of running against Barack Obama. An ex–Florida congressman and a moderate Republican, he conferred with fellow centrists just before the primaries, occasionally shuttling around with his friend Mike Bloomberg. (snip)
After the presidential inauguration in January, Joe (no fan of Mitt Romney’s—”I’ve been very critical”) plans on publishing a memoir that will serve—no joke—as a vehicle to test the waters for a presidential run in 2016. Take that, Mr. Romney.

If you go to the article be forewarned that there is an odd picture of Joe and Mika... they had her pose in a very sexually provocative way, staring at him adoringly
which is a little creepy

But the point is I think joe's own grandiose plans make him a little more vocal and overt than he would be otherwise.

[2pooped2pop]

51. we're gonna need to see his dead intern papers, then.

If he is planning to run. We need info on his dead intern before he jumps in the ring.

[Corgigal]

20. Who let the dogs out?????

Seriously, are you crazy???

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. That's what happens when your ideas of minorities are formed mostly from teevee. In his.....

insular bubble of country clubs and boardrooms, Mitt doesn't have a clue about real people. He should be embarrassed, but the problem is he doesn't know what to be embarrassed about. It's sad.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. I almost feel sorry for him now. That's so sad. The disconnect is palpable.

[NoMoreWarNow]

29. yeah, even though he's a total rethug ass, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for him

he's led a very sheltered life

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. In the most diverse, multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural America ever, Mitt Romney just......

doesn't fit. You're right. He's lead a very sheltered and insulated life, and his cultural insensitivity is just astounding and sad. Just goes to show that money can't buy values.

[Jennicut]

23. It is more then being awkward.

Al Gore and John Kerry were slightly shy but they seemed to actually like people. Mittens doesn't seem to want to interact with those below him.

[Cali_Democrat]

24. The weirdest part is when he walks into the diner with the old folks

just so effin weird.

[MoonRiver]

25. "I live for humor." "I don't like vampires, personally."

Uh huh

[BlueStreak]

27. Actually I don't have a problem with any of that.

That isn't the problem. Those are just selected clips from normal campaigning. If any of us were on the campaign trail, somebody could put together something equally awkward and embarrassing.

Rooney's problem is not how gracefully he does small talk. He problem is what he believes, his moral/ethical foundations, and what he will do to this country if elected. This video is a diversion.

[Hubert Flottz]

28. There's a name for what Mitt has...

Called, "As Dumb in the Head, as a Hog is in the Ass."

Mitt is the poster and poser boy.

[99Forever]

31. OMG n/t

[hifiguy]

32. Borat was better at working US crowds

and that was a comedy.

[ejbr]

34. He is so uncomfortable with people that it makes

no sense for him to want to be in politics.

[Liberalynn]

36. His laugh is sort of sick, scary, pathetic and fake all at the same time.

[frogmarch]

37. What a hoot! haw haw!

It finally came to me who he reminds me of. Guy Smiley on Sesame Street.

[TransitJohn]

53. Yeah, Jon Stewart's made that joke several times. eom

n/t

[LiberalAndProud]

38. Gosh Golly!

(Pardon my language.) That was fun.

[napkinz]

39. kick

nt

[eShirl]

41. Like Crispin Glover, only creepier.

[spanone]

43. 'the LEAST interesting man in the world'

[JHB]

50. "Stay stupid, my friends"

from Driftglass:



Or from yesterday...

Poor Candidate Deadmeat

[ProSense]

44. After that, reading this thread and this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021417709

...I have only one response to Weird Willard:

[The Second Stone]

45. He makes Dick Nixon look comfortable in his own skin

and George W appear compassionate.

[Cha]

47. Does it not say in the Bible... "Thou shalt not

fucking LIE?!@

Who else was bored to distraction in that too many minutes of mitt romney?

[Amonester]

48. No doubt now...

that prick is an alien, and definitly not a good one.

[TransitJohn]

52. It really is amazing that the GOP is running this guy.

Really.
