Mitt & Ann Romney: America's Most UNLIKEABLE 1% Couple To Explain Again HOW HARD It Is To Be Them



Look, Ann. You can almost see our relevance from here........





Oh, goody. Just when we were all about to forget how unbelievably unlikable Mitt and Ann Romney are, they're back!
In an interview with Chris Wallace, airing this weekend on Fox News Sunday, Mitt explains what a downer it is to come off the "roller coaster" thrill of humiliating himself repeatedly during the 2012 election, and as for Ann? Well, you remember how she helped her husband lose by explaining to you people—you Latino people, you lady people, you poor people—how stupid you are if you don't vote for her husband. Who can forget what a convincing selling point that was?


“In our church, we’re used to serving and you know, you can be in a very high position, but you recognize you’re serving,” she said. “And now all of a sudden, you’re released and you’re nobody. And we’re used to that. It’s like we came and stepped forward to serve. And you know, the other part of it was an amazing thing, and it was really quite a lot of energy and a lot of passion and a lot of — a lot of people around us and all of a sudden, it was nothing.”

Waaaaaaah! It is just so, so hard to be nobody, to be irrelevant, to be completely unimportant. Will the trials and tribulations of being Ann Romney never end? First, she and Mitt had to struggle as a young couple to get by on nothing but his daddy's money, and then she had a horse everyone made fun of, and now this? Now they've been forced to return to their little lives of irrelevance? Oh, it is so terribly hard to be them.


Thank American Jesus that the Romneys' oh-so-humble service—hey, did you know the Romneys have humbly served in their church and also given tons and tons of money, but humbly?—prepared them for being nobodies.

to be me. I could show them through examples that being them really isn't all that bad, financially speaking of course, and that if they were able to pick up a hobby they might be able to fill some of that "humble time" and pick up some real-world skills in the process.

And I would be able to do that and more for a mere one million dollars.

I could also show them how hard it is to be you and you and you, my fellow DUers, for an additional sum; paid for by the Romney's of course.

Once they realize that after parting with a few million dollars really hasn't hurt their bottom line then they will start to see the wisdom of RDO.

a lying piece of shit as Mit Romney. Man, I can't stand him. Bush had more to like than Romney and Bush really sucked.

They're here now BECAUSE they failed last year at a hostile takeover to monopolize the American portion of that $900 trillion BUBBLE and they'd like Republicans to back them in a try to corner it again, in whatever fire-sale that results from the damage that austerity does to the American economy . . .

or something like that.

with their latest 'travails' being released during the early-daze of the Sequestration.

Maybe it'll be a sequel to the 47% solo act or monologue.
But this time it's a two-character...what, tragedy?
Ah, the theater! Ah, the stage! Ah, the attention!
Ah, American 'politics'!
