Coming off his triumphant victory in the Illinois primary, Mitt Rmoney sure looks like the Republican nominee. So maybe I should just hang fire on Rick “Jesus loves me more than you” Santorum, crap historian and enthusiastic Tiffany’s customer Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul. Must focus on making fun of the Massachusetts Mormon.
Thanks to the Daily Kos for this wonderful image
But, I’ve already written about him strapping Seamus the Irish Setter to the roof of his car, his Cayman Islands bank accounts, his cringeworthy attempt at playing Patriot Karaoke, and his approval of the right heightedness of Michigan’s trees. Do I have to wait for him to commit another gaffe?
Well, that didn’t take long.
Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney’s top spokesperson, was being asked on CNN if he wasn’t worried that maybe the Mittster wasn’t being pushed too far to the right in the primaries and if this wouldn’t pose a threat in the general election, when he let fly with this little pearl of accidental honesty. “Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign,” he said. “Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.”
So, after he gets the nomination, you will never hear again about how he wants to kill Planned Parenthood or about how much of a “severe conservative” he is. That was just for the rubes in the primaries.
The sad part is, Fehrnstrom might be right. I think everybody’s forgotten about his Cayman islands bank accounts already. People tend to have really short attention spans, and the American voters are worse than most.
Some people blame the Internet for this, or mobile phones with their text messaging. Some people blame television. Right now, I’m thinking that maybe the whole problem started with the Etch-a-Sketch.
