Less Than One Month Into The Year Mitt Romney Manages 2008’s Most Cringe-Worthy Moment

Comments

We don’t vote for the “hippest” candidate - that’s for certain.  If we did, Al Gore would have won 98% of the popular vote back in 2000.

Is there a whiter man in America than Mitt Romney?

I still think I’m gonna pull for him, now that Fred’s out of it.

Is that a race-based insult coming from a skin-color judgment?  Just asking.


If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

robert, I’m invoking the “my peeps” defense. I’m a white guy in one of the whitest states (New Hamsphire). As an uber-honkie, I’m entitled to mock others of my group.

That’s the leftie excuse.

Of little doubt, Jay Tea.

Robert, you might consider checking within yourself lest you could possibly wreck yourself.

This is true!

Holler!  Peace to all your friends and closest relatives.

I have exited.

r-Gumby is disgruntled because he believes he is the whitest man in America.

This is a conservative board.  All the people attacking Mitt are conservatives.

Oh, I think Ned Flanders is a darn sight more white than Romney, and even Homo Simpson (no typo there, just trying to expose the gayness of the Simpsons).

Wow, you’re clever.  Can you explain more of your jokes to me?

Hi Hawk.....

Thanks for your valuable insight ~~ all the people attacking Mr. Romney on this site are conservative, eh? 

Wanna share some of your other beliefs with us?

I think I need my TV fixed. I’ve always seen Ned Flanders and the Simpsons as yellow.

And fictional.

From what I have read, Romney did just “break into this chorus spontaneously”.

Someone in the crowd yelled:

“Who let you out dog?!”

To which Romney did the little song thing.

CONCLUSION:
Once you know the context, it is not nearly as cringe-worthy as one would think.  That being said, Romney shouldn’t try to be funny or hip.  It doesn’t suit him.  People look at him and think “uptight CEO type” and THAT is exactly what he should be.

People are most comfortable with you when you are what they expect, as you are thus confirming to them their judgement and enforcing their own self-esteem by telling them they were “right” in their judgement.

So, Romney (if you are reading this - lol), stay away from the hip.  Stay away from the funny.  Just be an uptight, serious business wonk.  That’s what we expect and admire.

P.S.

This is no more cringe-worthy than McCain referring the “German President Putin”.

Ah, Mitt.  I wonder who he’s got his money on for the World Series between the Pats and the Giants?

He needs his pipes cleaned by a black hooker.

I bet he took a hot bleach shower after that encounter.

We’re in deep doodoo folks.

Sweetness, ya don’t say - And here I thought it was german for:
