The purpose of the Republican convention is to introduce America to the real Mitt Romney. Fortunately, I have spent hours researching this subject. I can provide you with the definitive biography and a unique look into the Byronic soul of the Republican nominee:
Mitt Romney was born on March 12, 1947, in Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Virginia and several other swing states. He emerged, hair first, believing in America, and especially its national parks. He was given the name Mitt, after the Roman god of mutual funds, and launched into the world with the lofty expectation that he would someday become the Arrow shirt man.
Romney was a precocious and gifted child. He uttered his first words (I like to fire people) at age 14 months, made his first gaffe at 15 months and purchased his first nursery school at 24 months. The school, highly leveraged, went under, but Romney made 24 million Jujubes on the deal.
Mitt grew up in a modest family. His father had an auto body shop called the American Motors Corporation, and his mother owned a small piece of land, Brazil. He had several boyhood friends, many of whom owned Nascar franchises, and excelled at school, where his fourth-grade project, Inspiring Actuaries I Have Known, was widely admired."

Brooks as comedian? Satirist? Misfired humorist? or unbeknownst truth teller?

(16,371 posts)Deliciously snarky and hilariously on the mark that he should be writing for The Daily Show instead of trying to be a mediocre conservative pundit. He's finally found his calling.

But David forgot to mention about Mittie's winning the National Pole Dancing Championship in 2009.
