Doofus Romney Nearly Fell Off the Stage at the End of the Debate.....

when he went to shake hands, only after he saw President Obama doing it. However, in his awkward attempts to keep up with the Real Commander-In-Chief, Romney was doing this weird squat thingie that looked quite terrible and made Romney look like a big Girlie Man Doofus. Then Ann Romney moves into action, and attempts to hold Romney so that he doesn't fall. She tries to laugh it off hoping no one notices......

and that is how these pics came to be:










Note, the incident actually looked much more embarassing on live camera, than do the pictures. I will say this about Ms. Romney, she knows how to be phony and look natural doing it. That smile that you see on her face is to cover her fear that folks would pick up on what she was doing, and she was right....cause I picked up on it right away! I'm sure the press noticed it too, but I guess they don't want to talk about it. Wonder why? Guess it would expose those two....who are as phony as a $6 bill!

1. Go home, Mitt. nt

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Almost had a Bob Dole moment.

[FrenchieCat]

4. To me, this is what those those "Men" who want to vote for this Doofus need to see......

and is about as bad as the Al Gore Kiss that the Media trashed back in 2000......

Just like Romney's sweating was worse than Gore's Sighs.....

But our Corporate media is quite silent about what ensued, and most likely hope we didn't notice.

31. That Would Have Ended The Election/nt

[SunSeeker]

3. Ok, that's just weird.

[FrenchieCat]

5. Ann Romney figured if she laughed loud enough,

Folks would be looking at her face, and not the physical disaster her husband is.

[DreamGypsy]

6. Yeah, I remember seeing old Mitt back in '77 ...

at a Ramones concert, on the Rocket to Russia (our greatest geopolitical enemy) tour, stage-diving:



The dude had just beat me up and tried to cut off my hair.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

7. Lest we forget another Repub & falling off stages...

For old times sake...

[grantcart]

8. Jon Stewart is only 23 hours away.

[FrenchieCat]

10. If one looks at the pics, she's not laughing as a response to anyone in particular.....

she's all over the map laughing for no apparent reason. Problem is she was busted...by Moi!

[K Gardner]

25. When I watched and rewatched the vid of this last night, she clearly looked panicked and

tried to cover it with awkward smiles/laughter.

[JDPriestly]

9. OK, I may be banned from DU for this, but I can't resist.

Ann sure loves her horses.

Sex must be very interesting in the Romney household.

[8 track mind]

12. duzy of the highest order!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoCubsGo]

27. Well, you aren't the only one who is thinking that.

OMG. A couple of those photos are just ripe for some really rude photoshopping.

[mzmolly]

11. Ann is apparently stabilizing him

again.

[Tunkamerica]

13. shoops waiting to happen

[NCLefty]

14. I made u a cookie (but I eated it)

Or, how I bastardized that image:

[WI_DEM]

15. There is Schiefer in the background chuckling away.

[fasttense]

16. And if this had happened to a Democratic politician for president

it would be on the news 24/7.

[mnhtnbb]

17. And she's the one with MS? I wonder if we're being told the truth...that funny gait

of Mitt's is very like the gait of a friend of ours with MS....and she loses her balance
when bending over, too.

[progressivebydesign]

47. I wonder that, too. He takes days off for exhaustion. Has to practice sitting on a stool. nt

[mnhtnbb]

48. Maybe there are some health care expense deductions in the tax returns that would

tell the tale.

[barnabas63]

18. Jesus Christ - do you want that man as President???

I sure as hell don't - he's out of his mind!@

[Drahthaardogs]

19. I think Romney has had a multi-level spinal fusion.

He moves like someone who has.

[lunatica]

21. It's just that broom handle up his ass

[bushisanidiot]

20. Once again, Ann has to lead Mitt off stage like he's a child.

he got caught up in drinking in what little love that is left from his die hard supporters who were there to cheer him on. he only gets to play King Romney for two more weeks then he is back
to being a nobody washed up politician who always loses.

[K Gardner]

22. I am SO glad I'm not the only one who noticed this HORRIBLE end-of-debate moment.. she was

literally holding him around the waist, she looked panicked ! He appeared out of control and not aware of what he was doing.

Then she had a vice-grip on his hand, PULLING him off-stage like you would your old demented Uncle Bob at a party, trying to get him home.

This was the SCARIEST moment of the night, IMHO !! I wish someone could get a video clip of those last moments. Thanks for posting.

[K Gardner]

23. This has bothered me ALL NIGHT ! So happy to see this thread here. Thanks

Frenchie.. the video of her holding him on the stage and then pulling him off needs to get some major attention.

Please K&R this to the TOP !

34. Hello~

Is there a link of this portion of the debate?

[K Gardner]

36. You'd have to go to a debate link and go all the way to the end to see if they kept it..

I have it on DVR but have no earthly idea how to upload it. I'm hoping someone from the media will do this. CSPAN would be the most likely to have the entire tape, including the handshaking at the end where you will see this BIZARRO incident.

[nc4bo]

38. Here's a little clip...

It is clearly edited but not enough, IMHO

I titled it: Ann's Swoop & Scoop

http://www.c-spanvideo.org/clip/4069956

[beac]

42. Thanks for the video.

Wish I hadn't had to listen to Repuke "2 year supermajority" BS while watching it. Romney supporters are so ignorant.

[nenagh]

43. Thank you for the video.. Does Ann Romney stumble/ collapse towards Mitt Romney's back...

As he bends over to shake hands... her body seems to lose strength temporarily..

Or maybe I'm seeing things ...but for seconds she really grasps Mitt around the waist..

Does MS create temporary weakness? Something strange was happening...

But was Mitt supporting Ann? or Ann supporting Mitt?

I feel a little guilty disliking Ann so much...if it was her medical condition .

[nc4bo]

44. She may be wearing high heels - that would definitely throw her off balance trying to counter

balance Mitt. I'm thinking those tiny heel tips that are in fashion - not much there to balance on.

Haven't looked for any photos of her feet.

The entire thing is just "off" - much like the R/R ticket.

[blondie58]

50. oh yeah, MS can definitely cause temporary weakness

Along with balance issues and more.

I have had the freaking disease since 1999.
But I can't afford hippotherapy.

[Calypso0956]

41. Very strange.

I wonder if there are more strange pics of this same behaviour that was over-looked until this blatant episode.....

IF Ann has had breast cancer, has MS, how is she able to Swoop and Scoop or Snatch and Grab?

IF he had some illness, wouldn't it seem more logical that he would have a male aid assist him?

What sort of RED FLAGS would that send out?

[a kennedy]

24. Vey, very disturbing.....

and I haven't heard one peep about it this morning....or last night for that matter....

[K Gardner]

26. Looks like its up to US to get it out there..tweet it, FB it, etc. Surprised it wasn't covered.

[Waiting For Everyman]

28. WTH did she think she was doing? That is very bizarre.

Both of them are way too weird and temperamentally unqualified to be anywhere near the White House.

This "looked presidential", as some of the pundits are saying today? Bullshit. President of a kindergarten maybe.

[shayes51]

29. I thouht he looked sick all night.

These pictures kinda prove it. Not fit for the presidency in so many ways.

[OldDem2012]

30. In the 1st pic, she's demonstrating what Obama did to Mitt during the debate. nt.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. The First Picture Makes One Think Of Lubricant And An Artificial Phallus/nt

[RoccoR5955]

39. Me too

You must also be a prevert!

[FSogol]

33. K&R. Glad someone else noticed this too. n/t

[CreekDog]

35. I thought she did that to keep Mitt from catching cooties from the help

[mcar]

37. That was so bizarre

I told my husband it was like she was afraid the Romneybot would crash into the crowd.

And did you notice the way she was guiding him off the stage after? So strange.

[kerouac2]

40. Looks elated that he didn't vomit on himself during debate...

Really, look how giddy he is. He is just so thrilled with himself for not sweating enough to pass out on camera.

[yellowcanine]

45. Both of them have a serious case of forced laughs and fake smiles.

Ann in particular has the look of a phony sorority girl who just learned she lost out to a more popular rival but has to fake being a cheerful loser before going back to her room and kicking a hole in the wall.

Ann has implied that Mitt dumps on her when he is upset about something. I am guessing the rest of the night was not a happy time.

[K Gardner]

46. Kicking this on my way home from work for those who didn't see it.

[Cannikin]

49. Looks like Ann Romney is a top.

Who knew?

[politicasista]

51. He sounded hoarse, out of breath, and looked very sweaty

Too much Jack or Jim maybe.
