Tearful Mitt Romney Announces He Has Rare Disease Where You Can't Sit Quietly On Stool



HEMPSTEAD, NY—Highly emotional in the wake of last night’s town-hall-style debate, a tearful Mitt Romney called a press conference this morning to “come clean” about having a rare, little-understood disease known as Shuttlesworth Syndrome, a condition that prevents its victims from sitting quietly on stools anytime they are repeatedly told to do so.

I know his WPOS syndrome was kicking in as he addresses the 50-thousand a plate attendees!
And his WTF alert kicked in last night when Obama beat his ass!

given he has a reason, and goes back to injuries in car crash. Making fun of disabilities, no matter how mild, is in really bad taste.

a disability is a disability. Even if in his case it is a mild one.

You are CONFLATING issues... there I go, using a university level word the President "invented" the other day, but it applies here too.
