Mitt Romney Incapable of Correctly Reciting Famous Political Aphorism

As the Republican race has gotten nastier over the past month, the vast gulf between bean bag — which may have been some kind of turn-the-century Skip-It — and politics has been remarked upon with increasing frequency. Especially by Mitt Romney, as recently as this morning. The only thing is, he never says it right. Ever:

They give several examples of where Romney got the aphorism wrong, most of them with him reciting that "politics ain't bean bags." But he mangled it even worse on January 8: "“Anything wrong, I'm opposed to. But, you know, this ain't, this ain't the bean bag.”

As far as we can tell, Romney has not accurately recited the aphorism a single time during this entire campaign. Nitpicking? Sure. Romney is usually only off by one letter. Still, "politics ain't bean bag" has been repeated for over 115 years now. It's four words long. It shouldn't be too difficult to master.

The bean bag chair, that ain't it
It ain't juggling bean bags.
No Mexican jumping beans in those bags.
