   For your viewing pleasure: Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter) Channeling Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney on the Twitter:

   Yes all quotes are as reported direct from Mitt’s mouth. If only the GOP had a cunning plan to kidnap the man until election day & hide him some place discreetly where he’d cause himself no more trouble & harm. He’d be doing a whole lot better in the polls. JMP

   And in honor of Willard’s visit here to glean some more moola comes these definitive take downs on this generational Bad Idea:

   Via Jeffrey Frankel, with Lots of meaty linkage:
   “Mitt Romney Rejects His Natural Voters”
   http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/mitt-romney-rejects-his-natural-voters-by-jeffrey-frankel

   And the fun one from Charlie Pierce of Esquire fame:
   “I’m Mitt Romney, bitches, and I’m all you got left:” http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/romney-speech-after-secret-tape-12824014

   The eternal idiocy of the frame & the question lies in this:

   “Was Mitt Romney a Member of the 47 Percent?” Yep. Seems likely: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/09/was-mitt-romney-a-member-of-the-47-percent/262519/

   And here, it’s called Government. It’s how it works:

   David Brooks:

   “The people who receive the disproportionate share of government spending are not big-government lovers. They are Republicans. They are senior citizens. They are white men with high school degrees”.

   But best summed up best by The Onion:

   “First and foremost, I would like to offer a heartfelt apology to all the whores, junkies, bums, and grime-covered derelicts out there who make up nearly half our nation,” a visibly contrite and solemn Romney said outside a campaign stop at a local high school. “Let me assure you that I in no way meant to offend any of the putrid-smelling, barefoot masses out there. My campaign is not about dividing this nation, but about bringing all sides together—the rich, elegant members of the upper class, as well as the 47 percent who are covered in flies and eat directly from back-alley dumpsters.”

   “I am fully committed to building a better future for every American,” Romney continued, “and that means ensuring all 150 million grease-and-urine-soaked members of our society get a fair shake.”

   You almost can’t make this stuff up! JMP
