I suppose Romneybot assumed that cupcakes make him look for like a NY native?

Countdown until Mittens eats a pizza with a fork?

He actually wore a ~~cheesecake~~ cupcake as a rain coat once

Hey now, I'm just happy I was on the right side of something like this for a change. :D

The fire would be in a whorehouse, so your mom would die too.

/Yeah it's nice when you get to be the first one to the joke. :D!

As a New Yorker, I don't see it as a gaffe, but I'm pretty sure that makes him a hipster from 2010.

Cupcakes are soooo 2009.

I believe Macaroons are where it's at now.

Oh, shiat, yeah... I'd forgotten about those. Duck fat cooked doughnuts I saw recently. Couldn't afford them.

Now when he has sex, does his wife have to say, "That's not it..." ?

BalugaJoe		2012-03-16 08:19:37 PM

Some of his best friends own cheesecake factories.

elchip		2012-03-16 08:21:43 PM

At least he didn't ask for Swiss cheese on a Philly cheesesteak.

He asks her to do a swirl and a twist.

My favorite part of that story is still that Trump tried to make some kind of effort to treat Palin out to an "authentic NYC pizza experience" and then went to, of all places, Famiglia's.

Heck, even going to a Famous Ray's would've been better.

Hector Remarkable		2012-03-16 08:31:06 PM

The whole premise of this headline is wrong. I am not Mitt Romney.

Maybe he doesn't like cheesecake. Maybe his digestion processing unit can't handle that much dairy. Who knows. I mean, it's ridiculous NOT to like cheesecake, but he's Mitt Rmoney, and ridiculous is what he does

And of all the things to rip on Mitt Rmoney about, really, this is about #435,509,878 on the list of importance.

I'll have you know I fold my pizza and eat it like a man. I might even have once slice in each hand. I'm just that coordinated, fat.

I'm wondering why there's a donut that looks like a dick. And how you'd eat it without totally cracking up.

I have never laughed harder at a Daily Show segment than I did at that one. My boyfriend, who's from New York, laughed so hard he threw up.

jayhawk88		2012-03-16 08:39:24 PM

Lol, Dukie just took two steps in the middle of the lane off a rebound, then passed. No call.

Man I love that segment.

If only for the fact that he gave me a list of great pizza places to try when I'm in New York. I get hungry watching that segment everytime.

theknuckler_33		2012-03-16 08:47:52 PM

I'm no Romney fan, but I don't like cheesecake either.

I thought whoopie pies were the new cupcakes.

Tymast		2012-03-16 08:49:12 PM

ah finally a reason to not vote for him!

Forgot_my_password_again		2012-03-16 08:52:07 PM

OMG, he's just like us. I'm voting for him.

Coco LaFemme		2012-03-16 08:55:23 PM

BTW, upon reading the article and discovering he went to Junior's......in Brooklyn.....and didn't get any cheesecake, I think he should be whacked in the nuts with a polo mallet.

Peter von Nostrand		2012-03-16 09:01:32 PM

Eh.. so what?

MisterRonbo		2012-03-16 09:03:16 PM

Maybe the LDS church doesn't allow cheesecake. No booze, no coffee, no pre-marital making of the sign of the beast with two backs. Anything as wonderful as cheesecake is probably the devil's own dessert to those hair-shirted masochists.

Romney: What's this Ray's I keep hearing about.
Handler: Well it's a pizza place.
Romney: Lets go!
Handler: Well there's Famous Rays, Famous Original Rays, Original Rays, Not Rays, Ray's famous original, Original Famous Rays, Not Original Famous Rays, Not Famous Not Original Rays....
Romney: Error 503

0Icky0		2012-03-16 09:09:17 PM

So if it's such a faux pas, why are they selling cupcakes in the first place?

If it hadn't been at an institution recognized for its specialty dish, he still acted out-of-touch for implying that Hostess Cupcakes are somehow discontinued objects of nostalgia, when they can likely be had at the bodega on the next corner. Obama's preference for spicy mustard on his burger is practically proletarian in comparison.

brantgoose		2012-03-16 09:11:14 PM

New York is famous for its cheescake but cupcakes focus-grouped more Republican, Mid-Western and Conservative, especially among Conservative Women, who are this year's minority scapegoat for the lacklustre candidate.

Which is all of them.

If you have any trouble eating the cupcake, drink some more Kool-aid and claim the Democrats are attacking Sarah Palin.
