13. Daddy Romney controls the fortune, he's obviously funny as hell...

..charming, witty, perfect, etc. In families with extreme wealth, the guy who controls the money they'll inherit, he becomes hilarious, and quirky, and amazing. They all know he's a petty, arrogant, childish, bully, but if you had a father like that who also sat on hundreds of millions of dollars, do you think they'd call him out??? He's petty and narcissistic enough to cut them out of the family fortune.

"The Romney Olympics" Yeah.. he's JUST like the rest of us.
