forget which of the thousand romney pieces mentioned this, but supposedly it was during the harried search for ecstasy girl that mitt first encountered the neighborhoods/living conditions of less wealthy americans.

he was then 49 years old

But all went better than expected, and Romney even left behind a $1.75 tip on an $18.25 tab.

― fit and working again, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 16:03 (thirteen years ago)

I like the phrasing of that, where it's obvious he just passed over a $20 and said "keep the change" but it's making it sound like he counted out $18.25, then dug up a separate $1.75 and said "here, a tip 4 u"

― set me on fire RAAAAH (DJP), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 16:04 (thirteen years ago)

mitt romney tips less than 10%, pass it on

getting kinda o/t now, but a cato dude wrote an interesting short history of the relationship between libertarians and the old right in the US

oh man he linked to them in the column, I am as bad as him

― dmr, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:34 (thirteen years ago)

from the UK pov "you didn't build that" barely seemed to register over here compared to the "47%" quote IMO.

― piscesx, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:38 (thirteen years ago)

you didnt build that was pushed hard by the gop but no one really gave a fuck

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:43 (thirteen years ago)

Wish Obama had made a "you don't give a fuck" gaffe so the whole Republican convention would have been call-and-response applause lines "WE GIVE A FUCK!" which sort of sums it up anyway, them caring a lot about shit no one else gives a fuck about

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:47 (thirteen years ago)

wow that milbank thing was unreadable.

― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:48 (thirteen years ago)

aside from their inclusion in the weird porous bullshit category of 'gaffes' they don't seem too similar to me. if it's just 'negative things that happened in a campaign' then yeah romney's was worse because it was a weird manifesto rather than a less than preferable phrasing of a sentence fragment.

“We’ve had 43 straight months with unemployment above 8 percent, and what does the president have to say to all this? He says ‘forward.’ I think ‘forewarned’ is a better term.”

huh? am i right people?

― EVERYONE COOKING SCMABLED EGGS,CHEESE WITH TOASTER!! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:50 (thirteen years ago)

― EVERYONE COOKING SCMABLED EGGS,CHEESE WITH TOASTER!! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

i mean yr punchline cant really be more like forewarned

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

a METRIC shit ton. like the EUROPEANS use, eh? huh? right?

― EVERYONE COOKING SCMABLED EGGS,CHEESE WITH TOASTER!! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

im having trouble w/the word forewarned i guess

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

He should have spent the last two months studying Young Money punchlines.

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

Or Excelsior threads, I guess.

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 18:53 (thirteen years ago)
