Romney: Hunting the Great White Lie

Mitt Romney is pathetic. It’s one thing for a Presidential candidate, in the thick of a pitched battle one week before the general election to exaggerate his hunting prowess to win over the other guys voters. It’s entirely a different matter to tell audiences, almost a year before the primaries, to blatantly pander to hunters by claiming you are a lifelong hunter when what you really mean is you went hunting once as a child, and once last week.

I’ve been deer hunting twice, and used to shoot rabbits and gophers on my uncle’s cattle ranch. I hardly consider myself a lifelong hunter. That’s just retarded. Pandering should be a crime punishable by allowing registered voters the right to walk up and slap you upside your enormous, pretentious, over-ego-inflated head.

There must also be something in the water in Massachusetts that causes pathological lying. When are you going kite-surfing, Mitt?

About The Quip

A psuedo-reformed political hack takes stock of his life, family, community, and living in our nation's capitol. If a good writer writes about what he knows, expect me to cover politics, technology, telecommunications, consumer gadgets, pop culture, the constant struggle that is parenting, the two best kids in the known world, the wife that makes me crazy, the odd moments I get to enjoy my hobbies, and a big goofy mutt named Kobi.
