Romney cancelled campaign credit cards right after conceding.

[Pab Sungenis]

Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.

Lots more at MSNBC's The Last Days of Romneyland.

1. True to form.

[hlthe2b]

2. LOLOL... not just rich and arrogant... rich, cheap, petty and arrogant.

[Hamlette]

3. sheesh, with all his money he couldn't help them get home. We dodged a bullet this time.

[tblue]

4. Whoa!

That's the real Romney. That is who he is.

[kestrel91316]

11. BINGO - though I suspect Queen Ann had something to do with this. Doesn't

Rmoney get to personally pocket any money left in campaign coffers at the end?

[hughee99]

13. No. He has many options, but I don't believe keeping the cash is one of them.

I believe he could donate it to charity, though.

[Pab Sungenis]

20. Charity?

Like the Mormon Church, and write it off against his tithe?

[hughee99]

25. Exactly.

He can't write this off on his own taxes, but it may square the books with the Mormon church as I'm sure they now know (if they didn't before) that he's been stiffing them for years with his tax shelters.

[kestrel91316]

31. Either that, or donate it to his family foundation

(if he doesn't have one, he'll create one) and then draw a tidy salary for himself as head.

[flamingdem]

5. Plus he charged journalists to attend the election night event and cash bar!

He's a vengeful cheapskate

[Scootaloo]

6. Wow. In a campaign full of dick moves, that might be the top

[JoePhilly]

7. Walk home BITCHES!!!!

[Buddaman]

9. BWAHAHAHAHA!

[leftyohiolib]

8. thanks for all your wasted time . bitches

classy right to the end

[SDjack]

10. Give Rmoney credit for thinking like a CEO. He did not anticipate the

possibility of losing (a failure by him), but when he got the news that he had lost, he reacted quickly to cut his losses at the expense of his staff and maybe his vendors.

[TTUBatfan2008]

12. This should be pushed into the conservative grassroots

Maybe they can get Limbaugh screaming about it. More division in the Republican Party is always a good thing.

[hughee99]

14. Yeah, THAT's what the conservatives will get pissed about,

staffers having to pay for their own cab rides home.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. I guess he got a good chuckle out of it

It's more than cheap; it's cruel. He apparently didn't warn his aides who could have found themselves stranded without the means to get home. He had the presence of mind to cancel the cards but not to tell anyone?

[Grateful for Hope]

16. Sounds like he he was taking out his anger

on his aides for being defeated.

Wow.

[EC]

17. Likely did before he conceded

because he would have cancelled them win or lose.

[PA Democrat]

18. He also charged reporters to get into his party and had a cash bar.

What an ass.

[lpbk2713]

19. He slammed the back door on their asses as they were leaving.

Lotta class, that guy.

[Smickey]

21. Ya know I actually

started to feel just the least wee bit of sympathy (really am talking about a very small amount) but fuck that, what a low class, careless and greedy thing to do to those who put out so much effort for you. If this is the way he treats his cohorts how would he have treated those of us not in his wee circle of billionaire fucks. Fuck him. What the hell does he have in his chest in place of a heart, a cash register? A paper shredder?

I am soooo glad this country had the good sense to send his robot ass back to Kobol.

[Ruby the Liberal]

22. And t-3 to the amended 2011 tax return

(If it hasn't already been filed, that is)

[City Lights]

23. How fitting. An ass to the bitter end. eom

[hifiguy]

24. Colossal dickitude.

And exactly what one would expect from Weird, Wacky Willard.

[Bucky]

26. He likes firing people. Now we know HOW he likes to do it.

Ambush 'em. Fuck 'em when they're down. Mitt Romney, you're all class. Cause it's not like them going to the "victory" party was a legitimate part of their job expenses, right?

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

27. Yep, pretty much in line with his managerial style

No surprises here, let that be a lesson to any remaining Rombots, I guess. They're viewed as expendable numbers, to be discarded if deemed financially profitable. No such thing as 'human value.' Just cold, hard, bottom lines, and whatever it takes to make more profit at the end of the day/quarter.

I thought they loved him for his awesome "business management" abilities, right?? LOL

[brentspeak]

28. If the Romney aides thought that was bad

wait until they open their mail and discover that Romney stiffed them with the credit card bills.

Then they'll personally know what it's like to get 'Bained'.

[ProSense]

29. Kick! n/t

[Bolo Boffin]

30. The headline at Balloon Juice: Cabs Are For Closers n/t

[TBF]

32. Stay classy, Mittens. nt

[coalition_unwilling]

33. Story has made it to the mainstream capitalist press also:

[BlueMan Votes]

to keep his tax rate above 14% for the campaign.
