Haha. EPIC FAIL! It’s funny, because in our whip-snap Internet era of casually thrown off criticisms and condemnations it’s so easy to look at this clip and think that Mitt Romney is a loser. It’s embarrassing! And no matter what else, that is true: it is embarrassing. But sometimes you have to be reminded that not only is Mitt Romney an almost impossibly wealthy businessman, and robotically handsome in a way where there would probably be fuckable Mitt Romney “Real Dolls” if there was a market for that kind of thing, but he is also the Republican nominee for President of the United States and that’s another laurel in his cap regardless of how the election turns out. Especially in retrospect, people are so quick to simply dismiss the losing side’s candidate in the charged and frustrated aftermath (Dukakis, Dole, older examples) when the truth is that just because they lost the election, simply GETTING to the election is already a huge and impressive accomplishment that most people could not achieve. I don’t know, you start to feel a little bad for the guy and you at least want him to get the recognition that he deserves for the big thing he already won. But yeah, no, this video. Haha. What a fucking loser. (Via GotchaMedia.)

what an ego-maniacal goober.
It’s weird how Romney’s first instincts/reactions are so consistently wrong. He’d just said, “How about this guy Ryan?” and the crowd started chanting “Ryan, Ryan…” which was FINE because he’d just put the crowd’s FOCUS on Ryan. If he just would’ve shut the fuck UP for 10 seconds and then continued on to his next point, everything would have been OKEY DOKEY.
Do most foreign world leaders know what a “Mulligan” is? If Romney becomes Pres I hope so, because he’s going to need to ask for a lot of them. Since he never apologies, he’ll just have to say, “Can I get a Mulligan on that one?”
Still a pretty close race. Romney could still win so dont give up hope yet you guys
Gabe, money and power are not the only measure of success in our workaday world. Being able to at least appear human and affiable should be a goal for all corporate-Americans.
They’re working on the technology.
Wait a second; this post actually had moderately nice things to say about Romney! Gabe, you’ve gone soft!
It’s stealth advertising for Gabe “Soft Gabe” Liedman’s standup, in case we haven’t accomplished our Videogum Everywhere mission yet.
What is going on in the rest of this clip? I think everyone is mad at the guy on the right for some reason – is it because he took the Lord’s Name In Vain? Why are they talking about Newt Gingrich?
Everyone in this video seems really unhappy.
Maybe they should rethink their priorities and go home and take a nice walk with their families, maybe eat a crisp fresh apple.
This is sort of MSNBC’s token right wing show. While the rest of the network would be laughing, all of the people that might consider voting for Romney at the network are sitting in that room.
I do like that woman apologizes for even presenting the story. Oops! I did my job!
Is she apologizing for showing the clip to Joe? Is she apologizing to the guests for showing the clip? Apologizing to the guests for Joe swearing? Did they think they were on a commercial break?
It is very confusing.
There is a lot of Starbucks stuff on that table.
2 things you gotta know about Morning Joe: 1) Starbucks product placement is always prominent and 2) Joe will not stop reminding you he’s cool because the Sex Pistols are on his iPod.
I buy all my Sex Pistol CDs at Starbucks, so that all sounds great!
I think this is actually kind of remarkable. For the first time in this campaign we’re seeing Romney display genuine emotions. For just a moment there, we were allowed to see that he’s genuinely worried about the lack of enthusiasm for his candidacy and the insecurity it inspires in him, which he dutifully tried to cover up with forced laughter and a thin smile.
i know. he’s starting to remind me of some washed up prom queen who is trying desperately to cling to some shred of sparkly glory, and it’s all so sadly raymond carver-esque that it’s making me feel some iota of sympathy for the bastard. voting for him at this point must feel awfully close to a pity fuck.
He was on a tarmac and the sky was dark gray. Maybe it had rained. He’d been on buses for three days criss-crossing the state, giving his speech. He hated the speech. But he had to give it.
His running mate gave a speech first, that skinny kid with ideas.
How about that, he told the crowd when the kid was done. He wanted to whip them up.
The crowd cheered for the skinny kid. Maybe too much. He noticed all the cameras. How would it look to the cameras if they cheered more for some skinny kid? Not to mention the weather. The weather would look like a metaphor.
He started to shout his own name at the crowd.
As he did so already he could picture Ann’s face later, and Joe Scarborough’s. I’m taking the kids, Ann was going to say this time. We’ll be in Utah.
Joe would curse sadly and hide his face.
Why can’t you people all just wait and see? he wanted to shout. Wait and see!
For one thing, now his name would be in all the history books no matter what. Not bad,
You had to look on the bright side, but that was the problem with his people. They never did. They were assholes. Then it rained.
that’s definitely more hemingway-y. A++
You’re right. Next time I’ll be drunker.
I do* feel bad for conservatives, what with one of the Romneybot’s subroutines apparently being reliable production of foolishness and gaffs.
*do not. Sorry, but many of our views are diametrically opposed and I no longer have the fortitude to argue or debate with people I am not convinced see me as an actual person.
I am really involved in politics up in Canada, and I always try to see where my “opponent” is coming from. Why they think what they think, etc. I do it because otherwise I would go insane with puzzlement, but also to get inside their heads and win. But with social issues, it gets to a certain point that it just doesn’t make sense. There is no justification for hate and discrimination and I am just left exhausted.
But I can only imagine how my disgust and despair at the state of the world compares to yours. Not only am I in a country with legal gay marriage, but I am straight.
Keep up the good fight, lbt.
“No no no, it’s not that we don’t you as a person–we do! We just don’t see you as a person with rights! But, like, you can still totally shop at the same grocery stores as us.”
“It’s okay, I watch Modern Family” is our generation’s “I have a black friend”
When I went back to school this spring, I had a professor try to explain how Japanese – and other Asian peoples because they’re all the same, right? – people don’t ‘think logically’ but instead think in some other abstract way. Because that’s not completely condescending and gross enough, but then I was like, “whoa… [WHOA! - Blossom, right?] are we going to talk about how racist this is?” and she told me that it’s okay because her Asian friend (not even Japanese though) told her it was fine.
Romney’s fail is matched only by these people’s attempts to comment on Romney’s failure, which makes this a failure within a failure. WHERE’S THE KICK.
DREAM TURDUCKEN
This is one of those rare occasions where the chant “Bush-Dick” doesn’t look so bad.
“I’m Fredo out on the boat” – Republicans 2012.
that is just great political commentary.
Hilarious, but also disconcerting that the crowd is so eager to chant Ryan’s name. That guy scares the crap out of me more so than Romneybot.

I read this whole article with “erection” instead of “election”. “The truth is that just because they lost the erection, simply GETTING to the erection is already a huge and impressive accomplishment that most people could not achieve.”
Three questions:
1. Where are my glasses?
2. What does this say about me?
3. But seriously, where are they?
I’m Awesome!
Wow. And if any of you idiots watched a reliable news source at all, you’d see that this was total BULL$HIT by NBC. This has been debunked by both Huffington Post and the New York Times. The crowd was chanting “ROMNEY, ROMNEY” after Romney stepped on stage, and he corrected them to “ROMNEY, RYAN”. He’s human after all.

“After Mr. Ryan whooped up the crowd in Vandalia on Tuesday, Mr. Romney moved to the front of the stage. As the crowd began chanting “Romney! Romney!” he cut them off.“Wait a second,” Mr. Romney said, instructing the audience to cheer for “Romney-Ryan! Romney-Ryan!” They did.”
Nice try FU*KTARDS.
