Mitt's the Pits

The governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, is a complete fool. He's using his status as a member of the minority party in our state as a joke as he travels the rubber chicken circuit. No, he's not taking up yet another career as a comedian, he's actually thinking of running for president...yes, of the United States. If he thinks anyone in this country is interested in ANOTHER Massachusetts candidate in 2008, he's really got to be smoking something.

Here's a sample of his "humor":

"Being a conservative Republican in Massachusetts," he told a GOP audience in South Carolina, "is a bit like being a cattle rancher at a vegetarian convention."

Bada-bing. For months, this blue-state governor has been pitching himself to conservatives in a way that campaign experts say is highly unusual -- perhaps even historic. Instead of talking about his home state with the usual lip-quivering pride, Romney uses it like a vaudeville comic would use his mother-in-law: as a laugh line.

As in: "There are more Republicans in this room tonight than I have in my state!" -- another joke he used in South Carolina.
