Interesting... Maybe the Ruskies knew that Romney was a ‘Democrat secret asset’.

Mitt, simply awesome.
The Liberation of Mitt Romney
Romney told me that he doesn’t think much anymore about his 2012 defeat to Barack Obama. “My life is not defined in my own mind by political wins and losses,” he said. “You know, I had my career in business, I’ve got my family, my faith—that’s kind of my life, and this is something I do to make a difference. So I don’t attach the kind of—I don’t know—psychic currency to it that people who made politics their entire life.”
Not everyone he’s met in the Senate shares this outlook, he said. “People are really friendly, they’re really nice—except Bernie,” he said, laughing. “He’s a curmudgeon. It’s not that he’s mean or whatever; he just kind of scowls, you know”—Romney hunched his back and summoned a Scrooge-like grunt. “For Bernie, it seems like this is kind of who he is. It’s defining. It’s his entire person. For me, it’s part of who I am, but it’s not the whole person.”
. . . . . .
They manage that tension in different ways: While the president spent a too-online Saturday earlier this month unloading on Twitter—launching #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY into the canon of viral Trump taunts—Romney enjoyed a quiet afternoon picking apples with his grandkids in Utah and refusing to take the bait. When I met him in his office a couple of weeks later, I asked if the Twitter insults bothered him.
“That’s kind of what he does,” Romney said with a shrug, and then got up to retrieve an iPad from his desk. He explained that he uses a secret Twitter account—“What do they call me, a lurker?”—to keep tabs on the political conversation. “I won’t give you the name of it,” he said, but “I’m following 668 people.” Swiping at his tablet, he recited some of the accounts he follows, including journalists, late-night comedians (“What’s his name, the big redhead from Boston?”), and athletes. Trump was not among them. “He tweets so much,” Romney said, comparing the president to one of his nieces who overshares on Instagram. “I love her, but it’s like, Ah, it’s too much.”Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

John Kerry trying to jump on the Mitt Train.
Get out, "sénateur!" Your French sucks next to Mitt's, and you're the reason for this whole Syria fiasco.

Smart move by Mitt to admit to who is alter ego is. Reminds me of Don Draper marching with Pete Campbell into Cooper's office when Pete was trying to blackmail him about being Dick Whitman. Takes away the secret, and instantly it becomes a non-story. Plus, I like the comparison of Pete to Sean Hannity.

frank, actually, he is. We had our boot on Assad's neck until Kerry opened the door for the Russians to waltz right into Syrian and prop of the regime.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostYeah, he’s not the reason for the whole Syria fiasco, but I’m sure his French is shit.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

The favorite part of this piece is where Mitt's Twitter alter-ego "likes" a response to Newt Gingrich's tweet re impeachment -- something like "when you were impeaching Clinton for cheating on his wife, you were cheating on your second wife with your current third wife."Originally posted by myboynoah View PostLooks like Mitt's secret Twitter account has been outed: Pierre Delecto

Mitt Happens!!!Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

It's so awesome. No doubt folks scoured Pierre Delecto's twitter feed looking for crap to show that Mitt behind the mask really is like the rest of us, and . . . . . that was the most ribald thing they could find.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostThe favorite part of this piece is where Mitt's Twitter alter-ego "likes" a response to Newt Gingrich's tweet re impeachment -- something like "when you were impeaching Clinton for cheating on his wife, you were cheating on your second wife with your current third wife."
