"I have paid taxes every year" a classic non-admission admission.

Yeah, sales tax on his cars, property taxes on his homes ...

Loosely affiliated with the non-denial denial.

who else sees fundraising emails from the DCCC (they go straight to my Junk folder) from one "Robby Mook"? Great name/alias for someone parting you from your money on the D team.

― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Monday, 6 August 2012 18:49 (thirteen years ago)

why are you reading your junk folder, doesn't that defeat the purpose

prob the same reason I read NRO comments

sometimes good stuff goes to Junk; email doesn't work as perfectly as precise drone strikes yet.

Okay--I thought it was a 400-pound Irish guy who ran a pool hall.

I think he also played the "MacGruber" character on SNL.

Try to catch this little clip CNN showed of Romney grocery shopping today. The camera catches him just as he's about to walk into the store; he stops, takes a look at the shopping carts, starts to go in again, doubles back and grabs a cart. You can almost see the thought bubble: "What would a regular voter do in this situation?"

― keeping things contextual (DJP), Monday, 6 August 2012 20:55 (thirteen years ago)

acc to nymag he was asked, after coming out of a hardware store, what he bought, and he said: "hardware stuff."

but i don't have corroboration on that.

― goole, Monday, 6 August 2012 20:55 (thirteen years ago)

when they ask him "paper or plastic", his calculations go into overdrive and his eyeballs start spinning backward

lol!!

When one reporter asked Romney if his house guests were named Rob Portman or Tim Pawlenty — the two most-buzzed-about potential vice presidential candidates — he just laughed.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha,” Romney said.

this guy's good. REAL good. he's got the instinct. you can't buy pepsi without pissing off coke >> unless you ALSO buy coke. this guy's a fighter
