Mitt!

David Weigel | September 3, 2008

His expectedly oily speech is going on right now, so comment away. I'm struck again by how much this Massachusetts governor loathes the east coast.

Anytime someone mentions Mitt Romney's name, I remember when I became aware of his depraved indifference to human suffering:

Mitt Romney: he'd rather let you fucking die than think again about the drug war.

Even w/o Palin McCain is less odious than Mitt.

Seward|9.3.08 @ 9:18PM|#

SIV,

Having noticed your comments about her, what is exactly so "awesome" about Palin?

Not SIV|9.3.08 @ 9:23PM|#

MOOSEBURGERS!!

SIV|9.3.08 @ 9:26PM|#

1: She is the presumptive GOP VP nominee who is at least an "adjective" libertarian.

2:Ambitious, skilled, cutthroat, loose cannon with small government proclivities.

3: Class solidarity.

Huck !

SIV is Marxist? Whaa?

SIV is Marxist? Whaa?

No

"Class solidarity"?

I thought there's only the individual?

SIV|9.3.08 @ 9:42PM|#

I thought there's only the individual?

Maybe in Libertopia

Palin is catching a lot of shit because of her "class". I don't like that at all so I am much more sympathetic towards her.

Anybody is less loathsome than Mitt.

As much of a gold mine as Palin is, I still wish McCain had picked Mittler. That would have been so awesome.

BDB|9.3.08 @ 9:48PM|#

Joe, no way. Palin will more fun. Wait until that marital affair story in the National Enquirer breaks in two weeks. Could you expect that kind of drama/entertainment/ticket sinking from Mitt?

BDB|9.3.08 @ 9:48PM|#

Will BE more fun.

Seward|9.3.08 @ 9:55PM|#

SIV,

1: She is the presumptive GOP VP nominee who is at least an "adjective" libertarian.

What exactly makes her so "adjective" libertarian?

...with small government proclivities.

Can you give me a clear, completely unambiguous example of such?

3: Class solidarity.

In other words, identity politics.

Palin is catching a lot of shit because of her "class".

She is also getting a lot of praise for it as well. It cuts both ways.

Shorter SIV: she seems like someone I'd like to have a beer with.

|9.3.08 @ 10:06PM|#

BDB,

I'm thinking of election night. "Ha ha, Mitt, you suck!" That would have been awesome.

Sarah Palin? C'mon, that's no fun. Me no hate mooseburger.

9iu1ian1 looks like hes speaking from a sewer. Egads, that background is horrible!

This entire thing is a debacle. I'm glad Fox found the one black guy in the office to zoom in on like 3 times now.

DRILL DRILL DRILL|9.3.08 @ 10:15PM|#

YEAH DRILL! OH YEAH! MANLY! ILL TAKE THE TREASURE FROM THE EARTH WITH MY DRILL! OH YEAH!

Speaking of oily speech, Mitt's hair literally looked oily. Really gross, that was.
