Now I understand why this piece of garbage has been pounding Romney. He’ll have no chance with a Romney victory.

Jealous twerp. Jealous of Ryan his fellow congressman. Will his drinking partner Mike be press secretary?

McCain, Romney, Scarborough. There is a logic to that progression. I think Lincoln Chaffee deserves his shot, though.

Aw, that’s just Joe, he’s trying to seal the GOP’s fate, i.e., doom.

Straight teeth?

Has a closet full of tailored suits?

Divorced and remarried?

Tanned, rested, and ready?
