It comes from Anne Romney in an attempt to refute claims that her husband is a stiff:
“Well, you know, I guess we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out because he is not!”
Unzip and let him out? Yikes. In that case, wouldn’t it better if he were stiff?<rim shot>
I would pay money for Romney to pull this at a meet-and-greet:
So when will we know if the unzipped Romney is stiff or not? You can’t make this stuff up.
I likedwhat Doug J had to say, about this being another example of the hypocritical ploy whereby Republican mommies are allowed to humanize their husbands, while Democratic wives are always portrayed as harridans and harpies.
Oh yeah and here’s another thing: they tried to “humanize” the MittBot 2000 by releasing to the media video of that weird April Fool’s joke the staff played on him, taking him to a campaign event where nobody showed up. I mean, WTF? That’s supposed to be funny? Republicans hate Mitt enough as it is, they’re even considering crackpots like Santorum and Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain and Donald Trump … anyone but Mitt! Why is it funny that there’d be a campaign event with zero people? Seems really plausible to me!
What is wrong with these people? It’s not just Mitt, it’s not just Ann. No one on the campaign appears to have a fucking clue about anything. They’re like pod people are something. Pretending to be human. I don’t get it.
I still remember how much damage Al Gore took for being stiff – only increased when he told jokes on Letterman. (Like how do you locate Al Gore in a room full of Secret Service Agents? …wait for it … He’s the stiff one.
Looking back, the problem the centrists and right had with Gore had nothing to do with being stiff. Likewise, the problem the Freepers have with Romney has nothing to do with him being stiff.
That whole “unzip him” was funny, but embarrassing for Ann. You know she’s mortified. Ann hasn’t unzipped Mitt without wearing
latex gloves in years.
mitt is more a clueleess wallet.
