[NICO9000]

1. Helluva milk hangover he's nursing there!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. "MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE!!!!"

[Initech]

65. I MAKE FART NOISES WITH MY MOUTH....

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

70. You know that Mittens is the closest thing to Brick Tamland

"I love tree. I love car. I love lake."

[Initech]

74. "Brick are you just pointing at things and saying you love them?"

[Ikonoklast]

101. "I LOVE LAMP!!!"

[Initech]

102. LOUD NOISES!!!

[kardonb]

32. milk ?

there must have been something more substantial in that carton than milk .

[skydive forever]

34. Its referencing an SNL skit

[Vincardog]

2. Willard does not pump his own gas. I doubt he pumps anything himself.

[Bucky]

66. Except Ann, of course

I hear once you go Mormon you never go... um... something that rhymes with Mormon.

[TexasTowelie]

69. ...foreman?

Hey, it rhymes and it won't get an alert.

[Ztolkins]

115. Do a chore, man

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week!

[SomethingFishy]

3. Shop Smart! Shop "S" Mart!

Sorry, he looks like Bruce Cambell in that pic...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

5. Holy shit, he does!

Apologies to the great Sam Axe!

[littlemissmartypants]

59. ...

[Ganja Ninja]

4. He looks like he's been sleeping in those clothes.

Probably hasn't bathed in a couple days either.

[loudsue]

33. Looks like someone rode him in a cage on top of their car for 12 hours.

This is what republicans look like after an encounter with REAL democrats.

[NICO9000]

45. OK, that is just toooo funny!

Bravo!

[krakfiend]

63. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

he looks like he's going the way of Al Gore when he lost. i think we will soon see him forty pounds heavier and a full beard.

[robbob]

77. 17 posts, eh?

I think this is the part where everyone is going to explain to you in easy to understand words that Al Gore did not LOSE the election.

Also, let me be the first to add; Al Gore, whatever failings you want to ascribe to him, has done more since leaving political office to help benefit humanity then the last 4 Rethug presidents combined.

[krakfiend]

91. yeah 17 posts, you got a problem with that?

i know Al Gore didn't lose the election, i was pissed off as hell about it too, because i voted for him. that was not the point of the post i said earlier. only that, he looks like he's sad, depressed and letting himself go. i hold no failings to Gore, i know he and Jimmy Carter has done more than any and all living republicans have done since their time in the white house. i believe you are reading too much in my post, relax. just because i do not post a lot, i am on this site daily and am a big fan. next time ask me first before accusing me of any failings, thanks.

127. If you have been around for a while, then you know to expect to get

challenged over your choice of names.

[maddiemom]

134. You're excused.

[robbob]

135. Sorry if I jumped to conclusions....

Just trying to let you know that people get a bit touchy around here (still) over the theft of the 2000 election, and when people (even those with WAY more post counts then you) say that Gore "lost" the election it usually sets off fireworks.

Glad to see you agree with me about Al Gore; greatest POTUS that never was, and welcome to DU!

[flamingdem]

96. He took the girdle off!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

113. I"m glad you said it. That was my first thought, though, I have never thought or heard

anything before that would lead me to the conclusion he'd been "spanked" during the campaign.

[kooljerk666]

122. Come on Girdle, HOLD!!

[flamingdem]

132. LOL !!! We get so much

mileage out of Mitt, that much we can thank him for nuk nuk nuk

[Fumesucker]

6. Let your freak flag fly, Mitt...

[lalalu]

7. Creepy

[xxqqqzme]

8. There appears to be much

more gray in his hair these days.....hmmmmmm?





Are you certain that is not Bruce Campbell?

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Well, Queen Anne tried to warn us about his mental instability.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. she did? how'd I miss that?

[Arkansas Granny]

23. I saw several posts here at DU about it leading up to the election. Here's a link.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021444915

[Liberalynn]

42. Guess she wasn't kidding

[FightingIrish]

10. Here's the story at Yahoo.com Even funnier than the picture

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/romney-pumping-gas-photo-151702638--election.html

"Mitt Romney at my local gas station," Reddit user mkb95 wrote. "He looks tired and washed up."

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. What happened to his 'gelled' hair?

[grantcart]

13. you don't understand. You don't understand what Mitt sees in the mirror, you don't even try . . .

[wilt the stilt]

24. did you know that scene was adlibbed n/t

[waddirum]

143. fill me in

What movie is that from?

[awoke_in_2003]

150. On the Waterfront...

great f'ing movie, IMO. Brando's best

[Mira]

29. WOW - that's classy!!! n/t

[sheshe2]

14. EEEEEEK...you scared me with that photo!

The picture of a broken man!

[lumpy]

15. Looks like he's been sleeping on the couch.

n

[heaven05]

16. looks

like a person ready for rehab. I am just so very glad WE/US defeated this ....(any word that comes to mind)

[Jumping John]

17. Being unemployed can do that. So can being a loser. n/t

[colorado_ufo]

19. Are we sure that's Mitt?

[grantcart]

31. That's "Evil Mitt". Goody Mitt wouldn't let him come out until the campaign was over.

[sheshe2]

84. So here he goes flip/ flopping again....

He can't even make a stand on his own personality!

[sadbear]

20. Looks like he's got a nice little game of pocket pool going on in there.

No way can a president get away with that.

[fleur-de-lisa]

40. LOL . . . I was thinking the same thing!

I guess Queen Ann makes him sleep on the couch since losing teh election! Got to get your jollies where you can!

[Horse with no Name]

21. I've seen a similar picture of dubya! n/t

[malaise]

22. That fugging ReTHUG

scumbag really expected to win.
Looks even crazier than before.

[bluestate10]

25. He's done, leave him be. nt

[bigtree]

88. was you ever bit by a dead bee?

"You know you gotta be careful of dead bees, if you go around barefooted. Cause if you step on ‘em they can sting ya just as bad as if they was alive, especially is they was kinda mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way."

[OffWithTheirHeads]

26. Can I get that shirt at Costco?

[jmowreader]

50. You can get a better one at Goodwill

[Mira]

27. Somehow this does not illustrate his favorite sentence:

"I know how to do this"

[catbyte]

28. Still creepy, but now with a tinge of crazy

Yeesh!

[lyingsackofmitt]

30. Is that shirt

from a pajama set? He looks like he just rolled out of bed. Maybe he figured he could sneak away from the paparazzi if he got gas late at night.

[Dalai_1]

85. Sure doesn't look like it came from Costco! n/t

[dem4ward]

35. LMAO!!!

Pumping gas like a 47%!!! He's never looked so good! Kharma Mutha-Trucka!

[Tarheel_Dem]

36. Geez. He has a tinge of the Ted Bundy in that pic, only older.

[dmr]

37. Damn, he looks like hell.

Ann forgot to spray his hair.

[jaxind]

38. Hair

Wow, is that actually some disheveled hair on his head???? Also, wonder what the home life for Queen Ann has been like! Bet, he's taking his unhappiness out on her!

[Rozlee]

53. I was thinking it might be more likely the other way around.

She strikes me as a real shrew. I've wondered sometimes if she wasn't part of the reason that Mitts drove himself so hard, aside from the fact that he's a ruthless prick. It's a good thing she was born to privilege and wealth. I can see her married to some poor blue collar guy and making him miserable with her constant harping to "make something of yourself! I could have done so much better! I had prospects! I could have married a thoracic surgeon, yadda, yadda, yadda..." Maybe that's why he looks so beaten down. The missus has probably been going all Undertaker on him.

[yardwork]

131. She probably said all that stuff about the 47% too. Mitt was just lip-synching.

And it was Ann who ran for president. Mitt was her stand-in. Same when he was governor of MA.

[Shankapotomus]

39. Wow...did he even have the maid iron his shirt

before he left the house? My god, he must really be depressed!

[CreekDog]

41. Coming in 2nd place can give you a silver medal, a red ribbon, ...

but not when you run for president.

[Initech]

43. He went on an animal cracker and apple juice binge every night since.

[Paper Roses]

44. And this guy wanted to be president? He looks like heck.

Is the picture really him? I can't imagine him pumping gas as we mortals do.

[GatorLarry]

46. Obviously slept in his clothes

and I have to wonder why?

Weird seeing what's underneath all the slick GOP packaging.

Geez . . . twice-in-a-row the Republicans have tried to put real nut-cases in the White House: McCain/Pailin and Richie Rich/Ryan.

Cyrano post

[Flipper999]

47. He's quickly devolving into everybody's crazy-eyed uncle!

[yellowcanine]

48. Playing Pocket Pull there?

[bayareaboy]

144. Eggs-Zact-ly

His Wife's must have cut him off. So now he plays pocket pool while he fills up his car.

So fucking sad!

[Yavin4]

49. He Looks Like A Serial Killer Coming Back from a Kill

Someone should have checked his truck.

[Up2Late]

51. Well, he did drink a LOT of the "cool-aid"

[jmowreader]

52. Mitt will never get to Kolob looking like that

Mormon jokes aside, I've been around enough drunks to know that look: Mitt limped to the nearest saloon the night of the election, crawled inside a whiskey bottle, and he's been there ever since.

[AnnieK401]

54. Which would be especially troubling since, as we know

Mormon's don't drink alcohol or even coffee. Sad

[dflprincess]

142. This picture was discussed on Stephanie Miller's show this morning

they thought he looked like he was coming off a coke (not the soda) binge.

[NJCher]

55. What's Wrong with You People?

The man has just lost his dream! He wanted to be president of the U.S.A. He could have been our first minority Mormon president and you people just want to make jokes about pocket pool.

And as far as looking crazy, wouldn't you be a little crazy if you had to pump your own gas when you're not used to doing so?

And I'll tell you something else: I also think you don't know how to empathize with sociopaths. There's another minority you're discriminating against.

56. In the Immortal Words of Nelson Muntz

[Botany]

57. I know where I have seen those eyes before

[Proles]

58. For a multi-millionaire he sure looks disheveled /nt

[vduhr]

136. It's his 47% incognito look.

Mitt's idea of a 47% disquise, because, ya' know....we all don't take personal responsibility, so we must not take personal grooming seriously either.

[littlemissmartypants]

60. Reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/13hs4e/mitt_romney_at_my_local_gas_station_he_looks/

[cash__whatiwant]

61. sneak-scratching his balls in public...not very classy! nt

[AZ Lib]

62. Fill er up Mitsy!

How does that gas taste now?

[madinmaryland]

64. There better not be a dog on the roof of his SUV.

[Hutzpa]

67. On the verge of becoming a recluse

couldn't have happen to a nicer guy. No, really, the guy is so nice that he chases down a boy and cuts off his hair.

[Bucky]

68. He's going Howard Hughes on us!

Oh, poor poor Mittens. I'll bet he's wearing kleenex boxes instead of shoes right now.

[ProSense]

123. .

[socalgal58]

71. Rode hard and hung out to dry....

Sad, sad little man.

[oldbanjo]

72. Looks like he needs "AA" and Obamacare.

[cyclezealot]

73. I wanna see Mitt's car

Is it one of his wife's Cadillac's. it was once reported he had a hard time finding anything less than a 100 dollar bill in his billfold. ? Poor. Mitt. Again, he's unemployed.

[smirkymonkey]

75. Christ! He looks like he's been on a two week bender.

Mitt. Mormon, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life boy.

[cheriemedium59]

76. He must be lost without having the Secret Service around...

They would not have allowed him to pump his own gas.

[MynameisBlarney]

78. That's strange...

what happened to his tan?

[davidwparker]

79. He drives himself? I am surprised. n/t

[adieu]

80. Ann Romney

should have ironed that shirt better.

[CreekDog]

87. shouldn't have slept in it

[FVZA_Colonel]

81. He looks like he has been spending a lot of nights out in the rain, alone,

wordlessly staring up at the sky.

[CRH]

82. Pumping his own gas, ... How pedestrian. ... n/t

[madokie]

83. It looks like he's scratching

his balls and really getting into it, totally lost in the moment of scratching his balls

Actually he looks like he's either three sheets to the wind or closing in on needing a straight jacket.

[EileenFB]

86. Mitt's Facebook page

Is now under 12 million

http://www.facebook.com/mittromney

[Thor_MN]

89. I'd be thinking about where the next gas station was if I saw that.

[Liberal_in_LA]

90. lol

[joanbarnes]

92. Pumping his own gas! Operating his own car elevator too???

[pangaia]

93. Reminds me of the photo of Saddam caught in that hole.

Plus, he is not actually pumping the gas. In fact he isn't even holding the handle.. :&gt )

[geckosfeet]

94. that's a shame....

[aikoaiko]

95. Everytime I click on this OP, it makes me chuckle.

[Kyad06]

97. Trading places ?

Is he living in a ghetto with a hooker while the black guy takes HIS BIRTHRIGHT JOB ? LMAO

[Mc Mike]

120. Thanks, Kyad. +1. Great correlation. nt.

[pansypoo53219]

98. uh oh, he switched to buttermilk.

[kairos12]

99. Looks Like Jack Nicholson in The Shining

[PatrynXX]

100. needs to go with Tom Cruise for a mental health checkup

o_O old man shouts at cloud. eh maybe John McCain can join..

[ecstatic]

103. Did Ann kick him to the curb again?

He's useless now. He will never be president. I think it's over for good this time. The credit cards and drivers have all been canceled. And it looks like we're getting to see first hand that "mental" issue Ann was concerned about...

[triplepoint]

104. Experience is a Dear School...

'Experience keeps a dear school, yet fools will learn in no other.'
-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

mutt, get a clue and a real job! You've been campaigning to be President of the U.S. for the past 12 years now, and you ended up being just the "King of Nothing," magic underwear and all!

105. This looks like one of those photos from TMZ

Were the photogs hiding in the bushes?

106. "I lift tings up and put dem down"

"I lift tings up and put dem down"

[juajen]

107. I think everyone should lighten up. Piling on is not pretty, no matter who does it.

[lastone]

108. OH MY DEAR GOD

How i freaking love this - I will pile on! This lying psychopath son of a birch-tree looks unhinged. I can see what he's thinking in those bitty little rat bastard eyes. "Why are there people taking pictures - leave me alone - can you see I'm not running for office no more, for Pete's sake"

[rocktivity]

109. OMG, he looks dowright -- human.

but then again, whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
-- Matthew 23:12

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you?

People would call, say, "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all
kidding you

You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

111. All I got out of the yahoo news story is...

"a 12 million dollar mansion."

[Lady Freedom Returns]

112. If I had some spare change...

I would keep it!!!!
(yes he looks that bad!)

[danielledimitra]

114. Not Taking Defeat Well

Good.......................

[rks306]

116. Woww

I really concern, it's not like he lost $250 million. Unless he made a risky bet on himself winning.

[2pooped2pop]

124. or gave undisclosed amounts anonymously to Citizens United bullshit.

THey say he didn't put his own money in but since it can't be traced, who knows what he contributed.

[StrictlyRockers]

117. Kuh-reeep-ee! I'm a'skurt!

If I'm taking that photo, I'm snapping it real quick and getting the hell outta dodge before that creepy looking em-effer approaches me! He looks like he's mad at something and ready to do evil.

[StrictlyRockers]

118. Some of the posts from reddit that really make me laugh...

He looks like he's saying "Don't take my picture"

He looks like he's been on a milk bender

He also looks like he's about 3 weeks away from becoming a super-villain.

MY ANTI-IRONING RAY WILL RUMPLE EVERYONE'S CLOTHES!!! YOU WILL ALL JOIN ME AS A HAS-BEEN!!!
muahahahahahah!!

He looks thrilled to be your subject

I expect he is just surprised that a non job creator could afford a camera.

Pic taken on obamaphone

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana Obamaphone~

I'll ring the Whitehouse, and have a chat.

[liberal N proud]

119. I know they say he doesn't drink, but that looks like someone who is coming off a 3 Day Binge

[Shankapotomus]

121. I can't wait to see what Colbert does

with this pic when he comes back from break.

[DemoTex]

125. Mitt needs a "fighter pilot breakfast."

A beer, a cigarette, and a good puke. Oh, wait! Looks like he just had one.

[SunSeeker]

141. LOL nt

[waddirum]

149. hilarious

fighter pilot breakfast = a coke + a smoke + a choke (and if lucky... a poke)

[Tutonic]

126. Elections have consequences

n/t

[Mc Mike]

128. Evokes memories of Mel Gibson's mug-shot. nt.

[Cryptoad]

129. Looks Like,,,,,,,

his Magical Panties are in a Wad!

How does it feel to feel used up , Mitt?

[PDJane]

130. Ah, but when he lost the election........

He lost the ability to shelter himself from the investigation into his manipulations of Delphi and Sensata. He can not appoint an AG that will let him get away with it.

Mitt is going to have a rather hard time about his finances, and he's aware of it.

[maddiemom]

133. You could only take defeat this historically badly. if you'd been positive

KKKarl had it in the bag for you.

[cynzke]

137. Yikes!

And to think that five minutes later that guy got behind the wheel of a lethal weapon!

[lindysalsagal]

138. Went to the vampire film? in public? And then, pizza?

Shit. He could have rented the entire theater out, and bought the pizza place for the night, to save his precious wife from the public humiliation.

Tells you how stingy he is: Can't part with a penny of his $300Mill.

[left on green only]

139. I know there must still be full service gas stations in LaJolla......

......So then he must be just keeping up on his skills at giving hose jobs.

[Major Hogwash]

140. Oh, oh, he just saw the guy with the camera . . . look out, he's going to 'splode!

Christ, he looks half-insane, which for him is not a good look.
With that demeanor he could audition for a remake of the tv comedy show "Taxi" and play the part of Jim!!

[cartach]

145. Pumping more than gas.

That right hand of his looks pretty busy.

[Denise21]

146. Mitt you old urgly old man

Disgusting looking old man!!!!! like your soul old and disgusting!

[marew]

147. Big Bird was in the Macy's parade!

Mittens is nowhere! Couldn't happen to a 'nicer' guy! LOL!

[grahamhgreen]

148. He thought he was ordained by God to be President...

The Encyclopedia of Mormonism states about the White Horse Prophecy:

“LDS attachment to the Constitution has been further encouraged by an important oral tradition deriving from a statement attributed to Joseph Smith, according to which the Constitution would “hang by a thread” and be rescued, if at all, only with the help of the Saints.

Church President John Taylor prophesied, “When the people shall have torn to shreds the Constitution of the United States the Elders of Israel will be found holding it up to the nations of the earth and proclaiming liberty and equal rights to all men”.

I think old Mitt may be having having a crisis of faith....
