Questioning Mitt

Apparently, Mitt Full of Dollars Romney had a bit of an incident at a campaign stop in Florida this morning, when he refused to answer questions from reporters and, in fact, tried to prevent them from getting anywhere near him.

Has exactly as much credibility as Mitt Romney

It seems a strange strategy for a presidential candidate, but I can see how it makes sense from Mitt’s point of view.  The core of his support comes from people who would vote for Bozo the Clown over Obama and as long as Mitt Romney doesn’t actually say anything those people may continue to think, erroneously, that the Mittster actually has more of a clue than our big footed, red nosed friend.

Still, in the interest of livening up a campaign which has been godawful dull since Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann are no longer in it, I propose the following game for journalists.  It’s called “Ask Mitt Romney a Question!” and it goes like this: You get two points each time you get a question in, regardless of whether it’s answered.  One point each for follow up questions.   5 bonus points if you are physically expelled from the event where the question is asked.  You are allowed to ask the same question any number of times, until it is answered. It can be shouted from across a room, if that’s as close as the secret service will let you get.
Suggested questions: Is it assault if a gang of high school students holds one boy down and cuts his hair? Do you think it’s funny to trick a blind person into walking into a door? Is bullying a natural and necessary part of adolescence?  When did you stop being an arrogant jerk, what was the moment of enlightenment? What would you do to create jobs? (tax cuts for the rich doesn’t count) Which endorsement are you prouder of, Donald Trump’s or George Bush’s? How many homes do you own? How many servants do you have? When you attack Iran, will you send in troops or just drop bombs and kill random civilians? What newspapers do you read? (That’s kind of a lame question, but it worked before) How is Romneycare different than Obamacare? What is the correct height for a tree, anyway?

Have fun, journalists!  Winner will receive the thanks of a grateful nation.
