Former (we say that with relief!) Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney has been making quite a few enemies this week. Let's find out who is on his sh*t list now:
--The entire state of Massachusetts. Romney's latest commercial never utters the word "Massachusetts," but it isn't exactly flattering to the people who elected him. The commercial claims, "In the toughest place, Mitt Romney's done the toughest things."
Oh, yeah? If his argument is that he made Massachusetts straighten up and fly right (pardon the puns), he didn’t exactly get results. As soon as he was on his way out the door, we rejected his successor and elected a liberal. So, if he wants to say that he did such a great job over here, just point at Deval as Exhibit A of why that's not the case.
And isn't it funny that Romney calls Massachusetts "tough" while at the same time portraying the state as a crew of traditional bleeding-heart liberals? Does that make us granola-lovers who can beat your ass? What's that all about?
--John McCain. McCain thinks Romney can stuff it because Romney used to have a much softer stance on immigration. McCain said, "Maybe I should wait a couple weeks and see if it changes. And maybe his solution will be to get out his small varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his yard." McCain has also decided to make a fundraising stop in Boston, perhaps to court local conservatives who feel miffed by their previous darling.
--Gay people. Whether or not gay people are on Mitt's Sh*t List depends on his mood and the day of the week. Since he's running as a hard-right Repub, they're definitely on it, but he's trying to soften it up, saying that he's not anti-gay. He's just anti-gay marriage. So, does that make him a closet anti-gay?
