Do Not Play Sports with Mitt Romney

The Romney Olympics is not a joke, but in fact a for-real documented-by-witnesses official thing, and it will take place this week as the Romney family vacations at their New Hampshire home. Further, the incident in which Romney tripped his daughter-in-law so he'd beat her in the triathlon is not urban legend, but something multiple members of the Romney family have spoken publicly about.

What is odd about Romney's cheating in a family sports tournament isn't that he cheats -- we all played kickball against that kid, right? -- but that his family thinks his cheating is a charming quirk. The triathlon is no longer a main event in the Romney Olympics, The Washington Post's Philip Rucker reports. After the tripping incident, Romney "expanded the games to give himself a better shot."

that serves those that are not well mentally.

A one on one psychiatrist is not the answer.

but it's becoming clearer and clearer that underneath the blandness and plasticity there is a really nasty creep.

The family probably says they think it's a charming quirk or else they won't get any of his money. In his family, Romney is king and everyone is terrified to say otherwise, no matter what he does. Frightening.

and tell him I'm a Democrat that was considering voting for him because he is so wonderful.

By the time I finished giving him my opinions he would be running for cover!

I'm just wondering how the girl who played the older daughter on "Roseanne" got into that photo. Who knew she's a time traveler?

I hope none of his offspring goes into politics because they will be experienced cheaters in every trick in the book.
