The Stench is cheap, too
From the WaPost, an article perhaps designed to make Mitt Romney seem more human:
The candidate has thoroughly incorporated the modern instantaneous connectivity of his iPad into his now-frenetic life, but he downloads only free applications, friends say. He is so rigid about this that he continued to revise his speeches through a cumbersome process of text changes in e-mails, complaining all the while — but refusing to buy Apple’s Pages word-processing program because it costs $9.99. Finally, a senior staffer told an aide to buy it and download it onto Romney’s iPad when he wasn’t around.
Some might applaud Romney’s insistence on freeware as a harbinger of a president who would rein in spending and cut waste.
But he has a car elevator.
The beatings will continue until morale improves. They won’t stop until Mitt Romney is gone in November, his only record being that of a lampoon of excessive wealth who was real, someone you never want to see anything of again.
“Mitt Romney always seems to have kept score with dollar signs,” it reads.
Another example of the roof falling in, this from a Pittsburgh newspaper, the indelible joke image of the rich foof:
For example, I know of a fellow who, despite winning the birth lottery, had the gumption and smarts to create a highly successful business. After a period of becoming wealthy in his own right, he then decided to rest on his bounteous laurels and run for president.
Trouble is, he can’t relate to anyone now. He is so desperate to be liked by ordinary people that he will say any old conservative thing just to show he is one of the boys.
It is a sad spectacle because it’s such a waste of obvious talent. Instead of investing money in a Swiss bank or the Cayman Islands, he could start another business right here in America, maybe producing special harnesses that could keep dogs safe on the roof of the family car.
No one can survive it on a daily basis. Mitt Romney has won an unusual prize. He’s locked up the allegiance of Heevahava, USA.
