Is this the Romney/Ryan campaign, or an elaborate SNL skit

From the Orlando Sentinel (bolding mine):

"Although Mitt Romney was supposed to visit Orlando on Monday, the campaign announced late Sunday that the presumed Republican presidential nominee was too exhausted to make the trip. The news came after Romney spent what one campaign official said was an exhausting 48 hours of championing his new vice presidential pick."

Now, the Romney campaign is denying that the event was cancelled due to being exhausted...and he "hits the gym". Seems it would be an easy thing to fact check. Just ask the Orlando Sentinel who from the campaign sited exhaustion as the reason for the cancelled event.

This has got to be a joke! This guy can't be for "effing" real! I keep expecting Chevy Chase or Bill Murray coming out and saying the whole Romney for President crap is an elaborate SNL skit.

- Accused of being out of touch? - Have your son film you doing laundry at the Super 8!
- Questioned about your time at Bain? - Retroactively retire three years earlier...and don't ever answer whether or not you agree with the company you founded and were listed as CEO of screwing over the Middle Class workers, just say; "I wasn't there at the time"!
- Business experience is what qualifies you for the job? - Insist people stop talking about your business experience!
- Accused of having no clue about the Middle Class and Poor? - Grab a "shopping-cart-thingy" and go buy some "hardware-thingies"!
- Afraid the dancing horse will be an embarrassment to you? - Pretend you don't have a frickin' clue..."what horse?...where?"
- A story about lashing your dog to the roof of your car comes out? - Make sure you're filmed with your "pet-thingy"!
- Pass health-care reform with a mandate? - Rail against a health-care reform mandate!
- Wingnuts complain you're not "wingnutty" enough? - Pick a complete whackjob as your running mate!
- Wingnuttier running mates views considered toxic? - Hide wingnuttier running mate from the media!
- Report surfaces that you're exhausted? - Strategically hit the gym! (That wattery substance you feel is called sweat)!

I swear, you couldn't make this shit up!

if a story surfaced that Romney supported Gay marriage and hated American muscle cars, the campaign would film him making a midnight run to Ckick-fil-A in a 1967 Pontiac GTO.

Let's float a story that he dissed a squadron of veterans who like to get together and clog dance while wearing kilts and no underwear.

or that he hates Polka Music and Kimchee. They'd be tied up for years trying to find a German-Polish-Korean restaurant.
