I haven’t found one word yet about Ann Romney’s gown in the MSM. The same MSM that has swooned over every inch of cloth and under-the-boob belt that Michelle Obama has donned for four years.
This is as good as another debate win if enough people see it.
Romney got in some zingers about Obama that were hilarious (but true).
Also, he finished with dignity and respect to the Alfred E Smith gathering.
Reminded me of Reagan.
I give Romney credit for being funny. I posted it too. Obama did okay. But Romney did very well.
Romney’s presence was better than Obama’s.
Someone actually wrote some good material for Obama, but it was presented in his typical lackluster manner.
Heh. When they pan to SCOAMF during Romney’s bit you can see the fake smile plastered to his mug. You can almost sense the mental command, “Get that fucking camera off me NOW”.
Lawrence “faggots and sailors” O’Donnell cops phony Southy accent and challenges Tagg Romney to a scrap:

This is too much.
“In the spirit of Sesame Street, the president’s remarks tonight are brought to you by the letter ‘O’ and the number 16 trillion.”
Goddamn #@%ing brilliant.
I’m confused…haven’t comedians been telling us for 4+ years that there’s just nothing mockable about Obama? SNL hasn’t yet had a skit that makes fun of dear leader. Also, we’ve been told that Mitt is stiff, robot-like, a weirdo religious dude who can’t relate to normal folks. Huh.
This is much funnier than all the binder jokes put together. But that’s a low bar.
Libby
Obama et al have created this FrankenRomney monster that scared the wee wee out of everyone
then they got to see Mitt, unfiltered, at the first debate and by golly he’s an actual decent human being! Who knew he doesn’t eat small children with scrambled eggs at breakfast??
Decent guy; very good and relaxed public speaker. Unlike Teh Won, who speaks as if he’s…well…eaten something binding, and trying to push one out.
OK, it’s official. I’m a certified Romney sycophant now. I LMAO. Each ridiculous stereotype about him was perfect fodder – a textbook example of how great humor is fundamentally constructed.
Bravo, sir!
Here‘s teh won doing his thing.
I think that Romney speaks much more like a law professor than does Obama. It doesn’t seem as if they both have the same law degree, does it?
“…although Mitt is his middle name. I wish I could use my middle name.”
Probably the funniest thing Obama said.
Great picture of the Romney’s.
Slart
O had some good material, but you can tell he’s just not comfortable with self-deprecation. He delivers with all the stiffness that is attributed to Mitt.
*we’ve been told that Mitt is stiff, robot-like,*
Of course he is. He simply inserted the humor chip for this particular dinner. Obama, on the other hand, is brilliant off the cuff, on the cuff, on the teleprompter, whatever. Brilliant I tell you. And Hilarious. Jon Stewart said so.

But what if Tagg doesn’t want to take a swing at you Mr Odonnell? He has no grievance with you. You’re kind of a nobody. The wrath is directed at the lord of the manor not his paid toads and deluded sycophants.
To put it another way, “The man got beef with Biggie himself, and you homies ain’t shit.”
“Brilliant I tell you. ”
Brilliant but sub-optimal?
In 1980 I crossed over to the Reagan side after the New Hampshire debate and “I’m paying for this microphone.” There was no doubt I’d be voting Republican in November, the question was who would get my vote in the California primary.
Romney’s moment — coming many months later — may have been better timed for the attention span (and political divisions) of 2012.
Ah yes, the ruling class.
Darleen, to be fair I did run across one style mention of Ann over at my favorite swamp fevor fantasy rag HuffPoop. That lede read:
“Is Ann Romnet trying to be ‘edgy’? Whats with the blue nail polish?”
– For 4 years they’ve been slathering lipstick on the pig who has all of her clothing designed by Rapheal the pole vaulter, and Jug ears had to wear elevator shoes just to look his wife in the eye, but suddenly when the rat-ass media is presented with real class they ditch ‘glam’ as the in thing.
– Can you say ‘cattiness’ and use it in a sentence kiddies?
Drudge runs a headline: Fidel Castro suffers stroke – near ‘a neurovegetative state’
But hell, how could they distinguish? Fidel has been a neurovegetative Marxist-Leninist for over six decades.
They’re pretty sire he’s a veggie now sdferr. He told his brother he wants to visit New York again, but this time without the chickens.
Bet they won’t pull Fidel’s feeding tubes.
With Mitt an accomplished speaker and a quick wit, I was asking myself if he was Reagenesque too. I don’t think he has the Reagan demeanor – by comparison Mitt burns too bright and has a brittleness to him whereas Reagan was old shoe comfortable and genuinely self-effacing without being as obvious as, say, Barry.
The problem is that that’s all about appearances and while dump-Obama fever has infected everyone, we know we don’t know what Mitt’s statist proclivities mean yet. In the machine he’ll inherit, even a full-on libertarian will be thwarted and Mitt’s not been that candidate from the start.
Exactly. Watching the Press lose their craven minds is almost worth whatever comes next. Of course the sick bastards will hang any monetary collapse on Mitt, plus the likely implosion of the American welfare state will be saddled on too.
In terms of press, Mitt is not standing in an envious place. He’ll be convicted and then tried by fire.
Slightly more than two weeks to election day and the liberal rag The Hill runs a headline: Obama under pressure to spell out his agenda for a second term
Now that’s funny. If you happen to like laughing at retards.
Actually, there was one. But just the one.
Other presidents seeking re-election have their second-term agenda set forth by convention time, at the latest. Obama’s campaign theme is basically, “I’m too beautiful to be defeated.”

Get ready for the collective, non-stop legacy media jihad against Mitt once dismisses the Unicorn Rider without so much as a Certificate of Participation on 11/6.
Safety Tip: Don proper eye wear to avoid getting fragged by bits of cranium flying around 11/7.
– I think Romnry showed his class and graciousness last bught. Lines he didn’t use:
– “Don’t get me wrong, I love the Americn press, their accracy and fair presentation of myself and my idea’s. If you ever doubt it just pick up a British newspaper.”
– “Its good that we can all say we’re better off than we were 4 weeks ago, Just don’t volunteer for consulate duty.”
Swope [Downey]! You were just three decades ahead of your time only you set your sights too low!(nsfw) It was advertising, but advertising as a means to the Presidency, not merely to a loot-a-liscious corporation.
Shelley Berkley has to be the ugliest tranny to ever go into politics. How tranny? It takes balls to voluntarily show a face like that to crowds everywhere, braving hoots and scorn.
I love Ann’s gown. That’s how a First Lady should dress. No flashy jewelry, not too much cleavage or lack thereof, upswept hair. It’s flattering, it’s floor-length, its appropriate to the occasion.
Someone will find out how much it cost and make a big deal out of it. It doesn’t matter that Mitt bought it for her.
Absolutely everything that Michelle wore for the last 4 years has been written about in glowing terms. She is the most beautiful, most fashionable first lady we’ve ever had. Even as her ass got bigger and bigger and she wore those stupid boob belts all the time.
When Ann is the FL we will never hear a word about her, I’m predicting total radio silence.
(that dress is quite elegant.)
I’d look for her to get the Nancy Reagan treatment, myself.
How dare she flaunt her wealth like that when ordinary Americans struggle and suffer in this (newly discovered) near-Depression!
What the hell is a boob belt? On second thought: why should I care?
Boob belt = wide belt, 3-5 inches wide, cinched tight under the breasts or lack thereof. Often worn by former FLOTUS Mitchell Obama in an effort to conceal the fact that she has a pear shape.
“What the hell is a boob belt?” Impromtu waist-line accessory. This style of dress is used to hide the width of a womans hips. Very common in prom dresses and bridesmaids from hell costumes.
Heck, I don’t follow fashions on Earth, let alone Kashyyk.
