Can this get any funnier? Romney Sells Inauguration Access, Nine Months Early!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Former Governor Mitt Romney is already offering top donors access to a special “Presidential Inaugural retreat,” planned on the assumption that he will be elected president this November.

The offer, in a fundraising email circulated by a top Georgia supporter to fellow Republicans and obtained by BuzzFeed, is one of several goodies offered to those who contribute more than $50,000 to the joint fundraising committee known as “Romney Victory,” a program whose outlines were first reported by POLITICO.

Those donors will be named “Founding Members” of Romney Victory and invited to a California retreat with Romney and offered “yet to be determined access at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August.”

They will also “have preferred status at the first Presidential Inaugural retreat,” the email says…

But Romney already appears to be preparing to open his nascent administration to his top financial supporters, the email from Stormont suggests, and the email contains an unusual combination of promises of access and early measuring of the presidential drapes. It also lays out the cost of other levels of access. At one Georgia fundraiser, for instance, $10,000 is required to “get a photo with Governor Romney.”

A cool $50,000 reserves your seat at the “presidential inaugural retreat. [The copy of the email obtained by BuzzFeed was forwarded by Richard Stormont, a former executive at the Marriott hotel chain, on whose board Romney sat.]

I am astounded not only by the arrogance, but also the haste to have himself *deemed* the Republican nominee.

Well, I will definitely support Newt over Romney, but there is NO WAY I can sit by and let Obama have four more years, when I could have done something to prevent it.

Obama is way worse than Romney, let’s not kid ourselves.

I don’t want that blood on my hands.
