"Romney Derangement Syndrome" and the Battle of Bain Capital

[DU Ute]

please stop. you are good at interviewing cool and interesting people. stick to that.

Yes, but would he be good at interviewing Mitt Romney?

[oxcoug]

You're supposed to END with "come on."

True - probably also need an "!"

He pantsed you in public, and YOhio is merely looking out for your best interests. You should listen, and at the very least challenge DDD to a fight less he make a public apology.

Hah, touche and good point. But at this point I think it's YOhio that wld get the challenge. But I worry that might involve going to Dayton.

The Daly show gets into it.

best joke:

It's like Mitt Romney answered the Republican Party's eharmony ad and now you're saying it's unfair

I watch the Daily Show during lunch and that one was great. The best thing about their attacks is that I get to see who actually understands PE firms and investing and who doesn't. My tally is:

Doesn't: Newt, Perry

Does: Mitt, Paul

Not sure: Santorum (he's sitting out the Bain stuff....smart), Huntsman (I haven't heard him say anything about it and he probably understands it)

I believe Huntsman jumped on that one too. The only one who probably doesn't really know what is going on is Perry. The angry fat hobbit and Huntsman know better.

I had been calling him "angry dwarf" but I think "angry fat hobbit" is more satisfyingly demeaning.

Yes, much better than "angry little attack muffin," which LA thinks is the bee's knees.

The extra time it took you to get cute and put the link into the text made you a hack and me a CUF news breaker.

Whoever made that thing is a poor man's Michael Moore......in fact the director probably isn't even very fat.

The guy who made King of Bain made Mitt's videos in 2008.

I'm glad Mitt got someone knew to makes his vids this year.

Supposedly he made the pro-Mitt videos. I wonder what the backstory is there. Apparently the guy is former associate of two of Mitt's current strategists. There must have been some falling out or something. Or maybe the allure of 30 pieces of silver was too much.
