Mitt Romney Jokes (About, not By)

These claim to be the Best Late-Night Jokes About GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.

Got a better one? Please?

Have I Seen This Horror Movie Before?

“Newt Gingrich, is, of course, unelectable” says (to pick just one example) TalkLeft in “Great News For Dems: Newt On The Rise”.

Asking Works

The phone rang. “It’s Elizabeth Warren,” my wife said.

I assumed it was a recording.

It was not a recording. It was the candidate herself, charming and at once folksy and erudite, asking for help on her campaign.

How could I refuse?
