Pierce: Mitt Romney Is a Human American, Just Like You

Mitt Romney Is a Human American, Just Like You
Have some respect for the craft, Willard.


BY CHARLES P. PIERCE
MAY 4, 2018

I respect politicians who refuse to pander, even though many of them lose, badly, and end up at the Kennedy School. I even rather respect any politician who panders well; as an old pol of my acquaintance once put it, “Sooner or later, in every political career, there comes a time when you have to pet the pig.” But I do not respect any politician who so disrespects his craft that he panders badly.

Come on down, Willard Romney.

From The Washington Examiner:

“My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat,” he told a gathering of supporters as they joined him recently for a casual dinner organized by his campaign. “My second favorite meat is hamburger. And, everyone says, oh, don’t you prefer steak? It’s like, I know steaks are great, but I like hot dog best, and I like hamburger next best.”


“I like hot dog best.”

”I love lamp.”

This answer is as full of crap as, well, the average hot dog is. Jesus Christ on a kaiser roll, what a dweeb.

Romney is actually pretty liberal-to-moderate and a deep thinker.

He only plays a creepily-religious-guy to get past the Repug primaries.

He's certainly to the right of us, but he's certainly a man you can work with. Not remotely a zealot.

And given Utah is blood red, he'd be ideal for a place like that. Best we could hope for.
