Mitt Romney has fallen victim to Hurricane Sandy

Between his previous assinine remarks about FEMA and disaster relief agencies, and now New Jersey governor Chris Christie praising President Obama up and down on national TV, Romney has become the latest victim of a monster storm.

You can load him up with the rest of the debris and cart his political ambitions away for good.

We can't load him up with the debris because that is under FEMA's jurisdiction. That would be "immoral".

We'll just let him lie there and let the states handle it.

Think orange trucks with a funny name.

FEMA is very strict about what type of debris they will pay for. Rmoney would not qualify.

Now, under the "Hazardous waste" devision I could make an argument for disposing of him.

in Ohio tomorrow with Richard Petty trying to solidify the Neckcar, er, Nascar vote. Then, his bus loaded with who knows what will be in Virginia sometime this week. Seems like the bus ought to be in Maryland or Pa. since they were harder hit.

Oh, that's right, neither of those states are in play for the a$$hole.

that in a disaster situation they don't want random donated supplies unless they are in large quantities and on pallets, as companies could provide. They feel that the usual food drive assortment is just not economically feasible to handle, and they should know.

he starts bad mouthing FEMA and giving another "disaster relief is immoral" lecture. I don't want him to feel left out.

Or provide shelter to those who lost their homes. Hell, Mitt should be able to house hundreds of people...as long as they promise to vote Republican.

These people are so mindless that they don't know how to shut off the valve that makes them say things that would get someone else diagnosed with Tourettes.

voting taking a hit. Which is bad news for us.

Hopefully 'independents' will give Obama a 2-3 point swing for actually helping.
