Succinct and to the point.
Rick should scat.
Mitt Romney needs to be left alone to limp across the finish line, so he can devote his full time and attention to losing to President Obama.
Maureen Dowd is right, but it won’t happen, at least not now. Rick isn’t about to scat anywhere. He tasted victory in Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota and isn’t about to give up his quest for establishing Christian Taliban rule in the U.S. – a place where he dreams of one day telling his grandchildren how he, the Elliot Ness of American morality, single-handedly took down contraceptives, universities, gays and the women’s vote and made America clean and pure once more.
Ricky is not well.
As for Romney, nothing much will change. He is who he is, silver spoon and all, and there’s not much he can do about it. He has no idea what life without wealth entails. This is why he can nonchalantly mock Daytona racing fans for sporting plastic ponchos by saying, “I like those fancy raincoats you bought. Really sprung for the big bucks.”
Was that a terribly condescending remark to make to someone who does not happen to have $250 million in the bank? Yes, of course it was. Was he attempting to be condescending? I don’t think so. Romney is simply a clueless rich guy who interprets the world and all he finds in it by looking through the gold-tinted glasses life handed him at birth.
Mitt Romney cannot understand why everyone doesn’t own a number of Burberry trench coats like he does. In his world it’s not at all complicated. One simply pulls out their American Express Centurion black card and…
UPDATE
How dense can a man be? Here’s how Romney defended his “fancy raincoats” remark.
Well you know, it’s hard to imagine all the things they’re going to try and turn into attacks. I mean, that’s the first time I’ve heard the one you’ve mentioned. Look, I have worn a garbage bag for rain gear myself.
Sad.

Every day,the Repugs sink lower and lower. Whether it’s someone on talk radio or someone on Fox “News”,or a politician,they just keep scaring the living daylights with their stupidity,cluelessness,and lack of common sense and compassion.
I just don’t get the republican party. They must have someone who is marginally up to the job, but they keep fielding people who are too old like McCain ( I know it was his turn but really?) or too out of touch like Romney or too radical like Santorum. For people who are as controlling as the average republican party boss could they actually be letting the rank and file decide their candidate? I just don’t get it. I know that they wanted several who won’t touch it for their own reasons, but when will they step in or have they so over played their hand with the T-party that they are afraid to force issues?
Something doesn’t smell right at republican central. There is another dynamic going on here and I can’t figure it out.
There’s no way Santorum is going to be president… but I think they’re going to get him out of the race by promising him the VP spot.
It would be weird that, in 2012, the most likely Republican ticket is a Mormon and a Catholic. My other theory is that Bachmann will get the VP nod, giving them a Protestant theocratic Midwestern woman on the ticket.
I agree with dinamic…We know the master plan was to obstruct Obama in everything he has done in the last three years so that they could win back the presidency….so why is there no viable candidate? It doesn’t make any sense. We know that someone is pulling the strings….can they possibly be much dumber than we think or is the game they’re playing just way over our heads? Inscrutable…
Check out Rachel Maddow’s latest about the deliberate movement of the Republican party towards the right, and everything will become clearer.
I was really hoping that Rick’s month would last longer.
heehee
Well Mitt is the one after all. Now if he could convert to actual Jesus that would really be something.
ROTFL!
Ha! Great piece and far out illo. My own feeling is that the Evangelicatholic organizations and PACS are funding Santorum and that he can stay in the race for a while. His handlers know the first principle of propaganda as attributed to the late Joseph Goebbels: tell a lie often enough and the people begin to believe it. Their agenda is simple: bring about Dominion by electing an openly Christian president who actually runs the country by Christian principles. Oh, no, not that tolerance and compassion stuff, this is the age of the Prosperity Gospel. The Christian president can use his position to garner unimaginable wealth because, like a camel, he can pass through the eye of a needle. The message has to be repeated so that it will sink in. Santorum will probably be back in 2016. Meanwhile, there is the Mormon to deal with….
Santorum will be around for a long time. He is going to have a lot of input into the party platform if he ends up as second banana at the convention.
I think the party has already picked Rubio as vp candidate.
