So we know that poor Mittens is so bored that he’s had to buy a new SUV (not American made) and go on a Costco shopping spree. Rick Santorum has revealed his true loony side and gone to World Net Daily as a columnist, writing hysterical screeds about the UN and black helicopters (man, did we ever dodge a bullet there!). Herman Cain has shown that his goofiness wasn’t an act at all; I expect to see him on the stand-up circuit soon.
Any other news of the weird?
Rick Perry is thinking about running again in 2016!
The good folks at the Texas Observer offer 5 reason she shouldn’t try again…
Well, Sarah Palin is now making addled commentary on the fiscal cliff (and had to apologize to the GOP for calling them “wusses” in,I believe, a tweet). So rather than moving on, she refuses to go away.
(As a side note, I was wondering if Palin’s increasingly demented and self-serving proclamations have tarnished her image amongst previous true believers. And, based on the existence of websites like us4palin that I ran into while Googling for a cite, I’m sadly forced to acknowledge that not only don’t they realize they dodged a bullet in 2008, but they’re actively staring down the barrel of the gun without first checking the chamber while cleaning it.)
I viewed him as Bush redux: an inept bumbler who couldn’t string two sentences together.
Did they remember the enitre list?
They should have stopped at two reasons. Perry isn’t going to be able to follow all that.
I was amused to see her in a clip on Chris Matthews, blathering on about how “socialism leads to communism”, with that pregnant pause that’s usually followed by some variation of “Hitler”. Looks like she’s had “work” done and went overboard with the tuck, which just adds to her Stepford Wife look. The Oracle of Wasilla, indeed.
Having an SUV and shopping at Costco is “weird”?
Anyhoo, kind of interesting Santorum couldn’t manage to turn his candidacy into a better gig then writing for WND. You’d think at least some place like Focus on the Family would throw him a bone. I suspect the fact that he can’t get institutional GOP outfits to get him something a little better doesn’t bode well for a 2016 run.
Oops–I typed “she” instead of “he.” The Texas Observer is full of reasons Ricky shouldn’t be President. Or Governor. Or Dog Catcher. Start with the cartoons of Ben Sargent…
Perry does share Bush Jr’s lack of talent. But he does not have the Bush Family Machine behind him…
I heard that Obama guy found himself a job. I heard it’s the shittiest job in the country, tho.
Come on, they’re not all closeted… 
Explains why Romney let him keep it. Someone told him it pays $400,000 and he asked “Weekly?”.
Yes, to Mittens, that’s pretty weekly.
I never said ‘weird’, so I’m not sure why the quotes. He’s bored and probably depressed, according to those around him. A common outlet for that is to go shopping.
You asked for “other news of the weird”, suggesting your own stories were weird. Sorry if I misread.
I guess, though I’d like to think that if I was worth a couple hundred million, my “feel better” shopping would be buying myself a life-size replica of a medieval castle or a tropical island, not a 24 pack of toilet paper.
He went to Costco because just wanted to hear somebody say"I love you".
Doesn’t he know its a known fact that being President destroys your beautiful goodhair?
Here’s Daily Kos showing his “massive shopping spree” :rolleyes:. I’ve gotten more at Costco than him in one trip, and he makes approximately 777 times what my income is. I doubt that’s barely $200. Unless his local Costco sells gold bars or law school diploma certificates (I love you too, ElvisL1ves), it’s nothing.
And I hope the SUV isn’t referring to the Maisto. Google doesn’t suggest he bought a new SUV. That’s a toy car. As in you can’t sit in it. For his grandkid. Also apparently Hot Wheels et al. are all made in China. It’s pretty hard to avoid China, it’s not like a toy is going to fund a nuke.
Punditry pays better and doesn’t come with the fearful taint of responsibility.
So I did. Although the Romneys shopping at Costco does seem a bit weird to me. I’d expect them to send the help.
