I used to say the same thing about Dole after he dropped out of the race. Who knew the guy had a personality? His campaign advisers certainly never exposed it.

9. I got tired of corkscrew landings under sniper fire.

WIN!

He just used up his personality quotient 'till 2012.

It really makes you wonder about the real personalities of these people. Our only representation is what others tell us and the less that is known about them, the less that can be told with veracity. It's almost as if the editors determines a lot of their personality.

Mitt Romney is about as sincere as Hillary.

Did you see the HBO documentary Nancy Pelosi's daughter did about Dubya's 2000 campaign? That was an eye-opener. Say what you want about the man as president, but he actually has a pretty energetic and entertaining personality.

Not bad. I'm sure he had help, but not bad. I chuckled.

He doesn't have a sense of humor. He's merely playing the "Ha Ha! Look at me! My ability to laugh at myself shows that I'm not at all bothered about being an utterly crushed politico" card, which is a time-honored tradition for people in his situation.

I thought that about Dole, too. Same with Gore.

Show more 'humanity', less 'stoicism' please.

Yeah, I guess it wasn't exactly original or anything, but I thought it was a good dig, and unlike at the debate, a humorous top ten list is a good place for that kind of thing.

No, I didn't. I don't HBO. :-) It does sound pretty likely, though. Logically a person in power got in power by making friends, not enemies.

No, I'm too busy trying to figure out what might constitute a Daddy Job.

I guess he still keeps a speech writer on staff.

15. wanted to pursue a career in fudge packing

That's Romney's Dukakis tank pic.

A McCain-Roof Dog ticket keeps looking more and more likely.

I thought it was pretty hilarious when he ad-libbed some stuff about "who let the dogs out" and "bling bling" while posing for photo-ops with some black youths...

+1 got me to LOL at work.

Hmm, 4, 2 and 1 are actually quite funny.

The rest, meh.

5. I needed an excuse to get fat, grow a beard and win the Nobel prize.

*snort*

He's still just a mechanical political flip-flop machine but I have to admit I LOL'd pretty hard. If he'd have been saying stuff like that when he was actually running we'd probably see him as more of a good guy but bad politician, ala Mike Huckabee.

Agree. In this list, he is making fun of himself as well as taking digs at Hillary. Makes it much more palatable.

Who knew this guy had a sense of humor?

He doesn't. Someone else wrote them for him and this is a good way for him to stay in the spotlight until 2012.

Carth: +1 got me to LOL at work.

Ok... I'll be the idiot. I don't get it. Please explain it to the retard, because it's pissing me off.

sarcastrophe: Carth: +1 got me to LOL at work.

I think it's referring to Dennis Kucinich.

That's pretty funny. I think that if Romney wasn't a mormon, he'd be the GOP candidate for sure. The entire LDS thing is a tough pill to swallow...

He has a sense of humor? Possibly. What he needs is a better joke writer. Not funny at all.

FooDog: That's pretty funny. I think that if Romney wasn't a mormon, he'd be the GOP candidate for sure. The entire LDS thing is a tough pill to swallow...

I couldn't believe it when, at my republican caucus, a woman stood up to stump for McCain and said that she prefered him over Romney because Romney is a mormon and that scared the crap out of her.

I chastised her ideas (not her) in my stump speech (for ron paul... muahahaha).

Haha, you were surprised when a republican based their decision on religion? Had you been under a rock the previous decade?

d3sertion: Haha, you were surprised when a republican based their decision on religion? Had you been under a rock the previous decade?

Pretty much. I'm a libertarian (little 'l'). :)

Who knew this guy had a sense of humor?

What's so surprising about that? His whole campaign was a joke!

But Pocket Ninja posts stuff all the time. Surely I'm missing something. Hilarity is not ensuing.

OK, I didn't post the original comment, and this is just why I thought it was funny.

The comment was effectively: Dear Pocket Ninja, You come off as a very small person.

Which is funny, because a ninja you can fit in your pocket is, inevitably, small. There is a dual meaning of the phrase "small person".

/They say that explaining a joke kills it.
//They are right.

Yes, I understood that part. But if that's all it was, I'm still not getting what he did there. Was that it? Seriously?

I so want to understand. I so want to not be a retard. Please enlighten me samingreen or (possibly) Tastes Like Chicken.

2. Once my wife Ann realized I couldn't win, my fundraising dried up.

Did he just call his wife a whore, or is it just me?

I liked Romney, I had a good feeling about him not being electable.

this is exactly what i told my roommate when we saw this clip

seriously, him on letterman after the election - laugh out loud funny

It's not just you, McCain did it to.

Was "because I farking suck shiat" on the list too?
