Mitt Romney is headed to Utah tomorrow to celebrate (translation: congratulate himself on) the tenth anniversary of the Winter Olympics that he claims he saved from scandal and financial failure.

But the Democratic National Committee will have none of it. It's out today with a new video attacking Romney's hypocrisy about the whole Olympics matter.

Here's the deal: Romney tells us that his leadership of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City is one of three basic reasons he's best qualified to be president (the other two being his record as governor of Massachusetts and running Bain Capital).

While Romney certainly deserves credit for turning the 2002 Winter Olympics around, and we give it to him here, he did it with $1.3 billion in TAXPAYER funding!

Yes, Mr. anti-government, anti-bailout, anti-earmarks reached into our pockets, got a whole pile of money, and then took full credit for turning the 2002 Winter Olympics around.

1. Ever The Clueless Tool

"My leadershup er um leadership." Mitt is just a fucking lucky sperm that doesn't even recognize what he has been born into. Fucking foolish asshole. Tedious, boring, stupid, entitled, and just plain a plain jack wagon. Knock yourself out GOP with this robotic dip shit.

2. But he is the best the republicans have to offer

3. So Very Sad

Wasn't car thief Issa available? The GOPers just love an obvious crook, especially one who turns his crimes around to MAKE MONEY. Mitt is a white collar criminal, who makes money off his crimes, but a car thief would be so much more fitting for the GOPer MO.
