[AlCzervik]

[TahitiNut]

14. Well, Dick and Betsy DeVos (Amway) are Dominionists ...

... some of the most fundy of the fundies - and I doubt they'd support a Mormon.

[maddiejoan]

5. I think of another movie.

Scarecrow of Romney Marsh.

[Stop Cornyn]

7. Everytime I hear Willard Romney I think "who the fuck would choose Mitt as a nickname?"

[HughMoran]

8. Up here we've been calling him "oven mitt" for years

:D

[napi21]

12. Here's why.

Mitt Romney is the son of former Michigan Governor and 1968 presidential candidate George W. Romney, and 1970 U.S. Senate candidate Lenore Romney. His name "Willard" was after hotel magnate J. Willard Marriott, his father's best friend.<3> Mitt, his middle name, comes from his father's cousin Milton, who played football for the Chicago Bears.

I guess we can always blame our parents for what they do to us with names!

9. I always tend to think of Max Headroom.

[Disturbed]

13. I envison a Cyborg with magic underwear.

This has not been photo-shopped.

[doublethink]

18. Why does that picture of him remind me of David Byrne of The Talking Heads? .....

And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here? Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

[niyad]

20. no, tony snow was the max headroom clone--with less charm and brains than max

[Lint Head]

15. Mitt will not get the nomination.

:dem:

[napi21]

17. I'm actually hoping that Rudy gets the nod. He has so much crap

in his background, I believe lots of Pubs will just stay home!

[melody]

19. Hey, I loved my pet rats ... do not besmirch the name of "rat" with a comparison to the Mittster

Also, Willard was the name of the guy who owned the rat, the rat was named "Ben", but your point is well-taken.
