Mitt Romney Would Rather Starve Than Touch That Mass-Produced Poor-Person Cookie

[bemildred]

Mitt Romney’s mainframe continues to be unable to handle such basic functions like PANDER 3.0. Earlier this cycle, we watched as Romney was unable to answer a simple question about whether he enjoys NASCAR racing, while at a NASCAR race, and instead essentially changed the subject to the tremendous wealth of some of his friends. And as evidenced by Romney’s appearance at a Pittsburgh-area picnic on Tuesday, his human technicians have yet to fix the bug.

At an outdoor roundtable with some Pennsylvania voters, Romney was offered lemonade and cookies. You can imagine what fresh public-relations havoc this offering wrought. “I’m not sure about these cookies,” Romney said. “Did you make those cookies? You didn’t, did you? No. No. They came from the local 7-Eleven bakery or wherever.”

Soooooo grossssss. Ewwww. These cookies are, like, bought at a store where people can get gas right outside? That customers pump themselves? What are you, competing with the service class? Grosssss. Get this cookie away from me before it insists I claim it as a dependent.

1. Somebody really needs to upgrade his OS.

Whatever he's running now seems to make him say exactly the wrong thing almost every time. You can almost see the Blue Screen of Death come up behind his eyeballs.

2. Like Perry, sort of, but not quite as bad. nt

4. and he literally looks like a robot when he says it

see the video in post #3, I think they need to oil him.

3. he's really disgusted

look at the video, he really finds the cookies repulsive. Even if they were 7-11 cookies, would they be that bad?

7. From the look on his face, you would have thought he was on "Fear Factor"

and he had to eat a spider, cock roach, or some disgusting creation contestants eat on that show...

I'm the fussiest eater on earth, but THESE ARE COOKIES...Even lousy cookies are edible, generally...

6. The hilarious part is that those cookies look fucking awesome.

Mitt Romney literally doesn't know how to talk to people who don't own NASCAR teams or race yachts.

8. A Pittsburgh talk radio host is calling Romney "Cookie Monster Romney"

and this is on a right wing station. The cookies came from a long-time neighborhood bakery. Romney managed to insult lots of people on Tuesday in the Pittsburgh area.

9. I like the fact

That he asked the woman there if she made them, and turned his nose up at them. So nice to assume that the woman was there just to bake cookies for Mitt.

10. Is there a prohibition on Mormons buying goods from non-Mormons?

The cookies probably weren't made by people wearing magic underwear.
