The scary thing is that Mitt Romney could still retroactively rape and murder a girl in 1990. And honestly, who wants someone capable of THAT to be President?

Coco LaFemme: I farking love Rahm Emanuel. He is consistently fresh out of farks to give.

I like him better when he wasn't the Mayor of Chicago. Good guy to have on a campaign as an advisor but way too corrupt to be running this city. Plus he's been known to be on the wrong side of way too many internal squabbles in the democratic party.

coeyagi: Meh, it is an interesting idea to say that McCain passed over Romney for Barbie, but they were looking more for a boost than a liability (obviously). Women and evangelicals were much needed demos, and Romney didn't offer much to McCain other than obviously a smaller chance of inadvertently torpedoing the campaign.

This very well may be. But shiat like this sticks in people's minds and wins elections. I'm glad to see the Dems jumping all over this, and I hope they continue this trend.

So Romney wants to become President next year so he can retroactively retire from the Presidency last year. That lack of caffeine, nicotine and alcholol make him a farkin' genius.

Is it good, when your own teammates are concern trolling?

"He should release the tax returns tomorrow. It's crazy. You've got to release six, eight, 10 years of back tax returns," said conservative Bill Kristol, joining the Republicans who want to turn the page on stories about Romney's vast personal wealth. "Take the hit for a day or two."

Unless, as Obama's team hints, the returns prove disqualifying.
"The costs of not releasing the returns are clear," conservative columnist George Will said. "Therefore, he must have calculated there are higher costs to releasing them."

Don't worry baby. I'll just put it in a little - just to see how it feels. Just the tip...retroactively.

abb3w: And the chorus calling for the tax returns now includes RINOs like Bill Kristol and George Will.


Here's what I worry about. What if Romney only released one year of returns so that he would create a controversy by making it look like he's hiding something, knowing full well that Obama would eventually jump on that. He could let it stew for a few days once it hits the media, letting it blow up into this huge thing, then he magically releases the returns one day, only to reveal... nothing,

It would instantly derail any momentum Obama had and make him seem toothless, creating a big stir over nothing at all, and making it that much harder to trust any future attacks that Obama may launch.


Granted, this is attributing great mental attributes to an apparent automaton that speaks phrases like "Lemon, Wet, Good", but just suppose, for one minute, that he accidentally had a stroke of genius?

Don't think it would matter: Unlike some of the birthers who go "ZOMG he's still hiding somethign sinister", I think Obama himself would very easily be able to switch tracks, and simply ask him "There, was that so hard?". Or hammer him on his flip-folpyness, since he doubled down on friday that he *ABSOLUTELY* would not release them. "Apparently firm commitments are not Mr. Romney's strong points."

Alright ,now I'm convinced Rahm Emanual has a Fark handle cause I've seen that exact comment posted here a few times before this got tweeted.

That noted, ...[nelsonmuntz.jpg]

Love the fact that even hacks like Will and Kristol are attacking him over this.

Despite being the presumptive nominee nobody likes him, not even his own party.

In the book Game Change there's a great anecdote about all the GOP nominees taking a pre-debate whiz and cracking wise about how they all hated Romney.

The candidates lined up at the urinals, Giuliani next to McCain next to Huckabee, the rest all in a row. The debate was soon to start, so they were taking care of business-and laughing merrily at the one guy who wasn't there. Poking fun at him, mocking him, agreeing about how much they disliked him. The Willard Mitt Romney walked into the bathroom and overheard them, bringing on a crashing silence.

McCain routinely called Romney and "asshole" and a "farking phony." Giuliani opined, " That guy will say anything." Huckabee complained, "I don't think Romney has a soul."


Apparently not much has changed there.

So if he did retire retroactively then I wonder if he repaid Bain the 100k he earned in salary for those years. Is there any dicumentation he did? Maybe that's the 38th question from yesterday's Forbes link that needs to be added.

Only Mitt Romney can manage to flip-flop on when he quit a job.

In his defense, "having a job" is a nebulous term for Romney.


And this from the guy who is fond of firing people.

There's something there. He's been getting hit on this wayyyy to long. I doubt it's disqualifying (what would be? A felony.) but it could tie him to Bain during outsourcing and stericycle, the only company willing to dispose of aborted fetuses at abortion clinics.

At this point I have to imagine the only reason he is waiting is he's afraid of getting audited, because he knows he lied and cheated. I'm willing to bet there is a solid decade where he not only didn't pay any tax, he got million dollar refunds.

Lando Lincoln: Romney is the very definition of the empty suit.

Why does the GOP always do this to themselves?


Because they're not REALLY trying this election. They needed SOMEone, but defeating an incumbent is not easy under the best of circumstances, and this is NOT the best circumstances for them (however much Fox News would LOVE us to believe otherwise).

Nature - and the endless maw that is the 24-hour-news-cycle - abhors a vacuum. The longer he waits, the greater the speculation will be.

Deducting $1,000,000 to Jerry Sandusky's "Second Mile" for "Hot weekend in Cabo?" Could be, but he won't tell us.
A $10M consulting fee for "Car Elevator Planning: Hussein, Saddam?" Could be, but he won't tell us.
$25M donation to "Mormon Missionary Outreach to Eradicate Southern Evangelical Baptists in our Time?" Could be, but he won't tell us.
$5M deduction for losses incurred by backing "Whitney?" Naah, even Mitt couldn't do that.
