Mitt Romney's Tears of a Clown

Posted by GottaLaff , Cliff Schecter's Blog at 5:27 AM on December 18, 2007.

How many commentators *coughChrisMatthewscough* will mock Willard's crying the way they relentlessly poked fun at Hillary's laugh?




Poor overly-sensitive, uber-weepy, unable-to-contain-himself Willard. He's all tied up in emotional knots lately. Cue the violins:

Mitt Romney's eyes filled with tears Monday as the Republican presidential contender recalled watching the casket of a soldier killed in Iraq return to the United States and imagined if it were one of his five sons.

This is the second time in two days that he's gotten all misty-eyed. He wouldn't be, gasp! pandering would he?

During a news conference afterward, Romney defended the tears, which came a day after he similarly choked up on NBC's "Meet the Press." He did so while recalling the relief he felt after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon church of which he is a member, granted full privileges to blacks in 1978.

Get out the paper fans and the fainting couch. You never know when he'll need reviving.

"I'm a normal person, I have emotions," Romney told reporters. "I have emotion just like anyone else. I'm not ashamed of that at all."

He's just a normal guy with normal emotions who's cried more in the last 48 hours--during a highly competitive presidential primary campaign--than he has in the last 50 years.

Question #1:

How many commentators *coughChrisMatthewscough* will mock Willard's crying the way they relentlessly poked fun at Hillary's laugh?

Question #2:

If he breaks down this easily, how would he react to a catastrophic event during his (you should excuse the expression) presidency?

1. Only Biden can get away with tears.

Cry over this, Mittins.

3. Willard is the Potemkin Primary Candidate

Little rush of wind, and the man blows over.

2. Great minds...my exact thought. This guy does a lot of crying. He's either really overtired or

his hormones are raging. Don't his staff people think maybe this crying thing of him might make him look a little weak? They really should shut him up!!

5. Mitt the Metrosexual

:rofl:

6. Showing his softer feminine side.

7. Bet he uses Miss Clairol instead of Grecian Formula

8. Even Fox is pointing out that's the third time in a week he talked about crying. LOL

4. He had to pull off the road so he could weep, when he heard

on the car radio that blacks could finally join the mormon faith...(he would have been 31 then)

I don;t doubt that he may have cried.. I just doubt that happiness had anything to do with the tears

9. as phony as a 3 dollar bill
