Yes, Your Honor, I Am Sorry, Sorry I Got Caught.
So Mitt Romney is freekin’ sorry.
How many men do you know who can strut through an apology without ever actually looking sorry. Whatever number that is, add one more, which probably brings your count up to …. oh, I dunno, one?
I have to hand him this: he is multi-talented. He can talk and piss me off at the time.
Good Lord, the man can even flip flop on being wrong.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has described his disparaging remarks about the 47 percent of Americans who don’t pay federal income taxes as “not elegantly stated.” Now he’s calling them “just completely wrong.”
First it was inelegant, now it’s wrong, tomorrow it will be a slip of the tongue and by Monday he’ll be claiming, “I never made that statement.”
In the pinball game of truth, his flippers are a little farther apart than most people.
But, here’s the kick in your groin —
He added: “And I absolutely believe, however, that my life has shown that I care about 100 percent and that’s been demonstrated throughout my life. And this whole campaign is about the 100 percent.”
When would that have been, Mitt? When you were firing people? When you held a kid down and cut his hair? When you shipped your money off shore to avoid paying taxes for the roads we all use? When you didn’t even know what the Lilly Ledbetter Act was?
Honey, I will go surfing in Nebraska the day you can ever show that you care about, or even understand, 100% of America.
Thanks to Aggieland Liz for the heads up.
In his quest to be POTUS, he will achieve only three of those letters: POS. That doesn’t count, as a “sorry Momma”, because it isn’t spelled out.
1Yep and Big Bird isn’t on his T-day menu neither.

Yessireee, Bob, just Mitt and Bain showing a little love to some of the 47 percenters in Illinois!!
3I keep reading headlines, on a lot of websites this morning….. something to the effect that Romney told 27 “myths” in 38 minutes in the debate the other night…… or maybe it was 38 “myths” in 27 minutes.
Regardless…… when did a LIE become a “myth”?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
4MIEMAW….when a Repub says ’em.
5Romney retroactively did not make that statement and besides he didn’t mean it.
6Geez, I thought Repubs were Party Before Country, but Mitt is the most selfish person I ever saw. He’s a compulsive liar. He can’t tell the truth about what be bought at the store. Seriously, how is he going to deal with world leaders with his lack of credibility? One more month of listening to Mitt’s crap & I’m taking a vacation to cleanse my brain.
BTW, Does Rick Perry know that Mitt wants to take away Sesame Street? How will he learn his letters or math?
7Mrs. Romney is concerned about Mist’s mental health. After seeing the wild-eyed, smirking performannce during the debate, so should we all be.
The same might be said of the hissy fits thrown by some of the political punkdits afterward. Get a grip ye of little faith.
8He says he really did not mean it (about the 47%) seems funny that he kept defending the statement as true after it happened, so did his buddy Ryan.
9Have you all seen the latest videos of Romney, it seems he may have sneaked notes into the debate! This was apparently against the rules.
Dang you, JJ, I need new undies after seeing that picture, I laughed so hard.
10Romney should wear a sign – “I got caught” – pretend he is at his church service and tell the truth. Sorry about the wishful thinking, folks.
11Romney played the hard core conservative early on so that his superpacs could fill up with millions from his billionaire backers. Then he played the tea party partisan to attract that
12Republican contingent. Now he sees that his message is not getting him high enough in the polls, so he has become the feel-your-pain moderate. His handlers must think we are fools who can’t remember from one week to the next the bullshit he has been spouting. Make no mistake, if he wins, he goes back to pleasing his hard core financiers and they will expect HUGE returns on their investments with regard to perks for the wealthy and goodbye middle class, women’s rights, healthcare, environment, education, Wall Street regulation and hello war with Iran.
The only 100% Mittens may be for would be those he considers good Mormons and all his rich cronies.
13Late to the game but I want to note the timing of this. As soon as the debate was over he ran over to Hannity as fast as he could to issue this “apology”. My guess is, he had this all set for the debate and when anyone brought up the tape he was going to take the wind out of its sails with this. Unfortunately, neither President Obama (who probably saw it coming) or Lehrer (who I don’t know what) brought it up. Thus stymied, he ran to the friendly arms of Fox.
