Anchor Shepherd Smith just remarked that somebody should tell Mitt that it's 2012 and to get rid of the 'Mom' style jeans.

The reporter on the ground in Ohio didn't know what to say--just mumbled something about this was Mitt's attempt to be one of us, the 'people'.

I get the feeling Shep doesn't have much time for Mitt!

1. I think Shep leans left...n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

4. Yeah, monmouth, I always get a leftish

vibe from Shep. He has to hide it to keep his job, but I think his heart's in the right place.

9. I've had a soft spot for Shep ever since his post-Katrina on-the-scene reports.

[Surya Gayatri]

18. Same here, Bravo! nt

41. He says plenty of normal conservative stuff, if you follow him.

Mostly he's just a funny kind of mean. I'm not convinced that the once a year bitch-slap-to-the-right he throws out isn't just a gimmick to garner some attention and build ratings. Being the Fox Newshead most capable of genuine human compassion isn't exactly a challenging achievement.

2. I thought I was reliably informed on DU that pundits do not comment on the dress of male candidates

And that only sexism could explain why they mention HRC's or Pelosi's fashion.

Bless my sweater vest maybe it's not so.

[emulatorloo]

3. Lol

[Surya Gayatri]

7. Maybe not! Bwaahaaaa!

I sure hope somebody posts the clip--worth seeing again!

25. How Dare YOU!

LoL

5. This thread is useless without pictures.

[d_b]

10. lols

[lunatica]

14. Just what I thought

There's nothing there, there.

[jaysunb]

16. It's not the jeans, it's that

"girly" fit.

[IndyJones]

50. Oh, it's the jeans for sure. They go half way up his stomach and make him look smooth.

Just sayin'. I thought "mom jeans" the other day when I saw him on some TV blurb.

[montanacowboy]

17. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

are they up in the crack of his ass too>?
OMG this is hilarious

Mr. Empty Pants

[Surya Gayatri]

20. Eeeeck! Wedgie! Have you ever seen

anybody more ill-at-ease in casual clothes than this dipshit?
SG

[Surya Gayatri]

24. My thanks, d-d...

This thread definitely needed a visual. But, I hope somebody posts the video from Faux.

32. Ohhh, you're the man/woman, d-d!

Is there anyway to embed it here on DU?
I'm useless at this kind of stuff!
SG

[d_b]

34. I tried

but it won't work =/

[Surya Gayatri]

38. Thanks anyway, d-b!

I'm a tad dyslexic. Sorry about miss-typing your user name.
SG

[Skinner]

39. Ha!

Classic.

[Rex]

44. What is he doing...er...nm

I don't want to know.

[Surya Gayatri]

13. Jackpine, I'm useless at pic and video

posting. Can you find a photo of Mitt in his proletarian jeans to liven up this thread?
SG

[d_b]

6. hahahahahha

[PearliePoo2]

8. Nooooo.....let him continue to wear Mom's jeans!

It just emphasizes his "dorkie-ness".

(or "dorkie-less" or "C"....all of the above)

[countingbluecars]

11. Chris Matthews mentioned Romney's

'Mom' jeans several weeks ago. I got a chuckle out of that too.

[lunatica]

12. What are Mom jeans?

He just looks stupid the way he walks. Short quick little mincy steps like he has blisters on his feet.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. I think they mean a bit full in the butt...

riding high on the hips, above the waist even.
The opposite of slim, designer-style jeans, I guess.
SG

[countingbluecars]

19. Mom jeans according to SNL

21. Thanks for the link, counting...

Unfortunately, I can't access hulu from my foreign url.

[Broderick]

23. LMAO

[corkhead]

45. Hulu won't let me see it because I have advertising blocked.

ah well, I believe you.

47. They have their own wikipedia article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mom_jeans

[mercuryblues]

22. They

have to be that style to hide his special underwear.

[Surya Gayatri]

28. Ding, ding, ding!

Nothing too form-fitting would do with those special undies underneath!
SG

[PatSeg]

26. I had just said something about his jeans

the other day. It looks like he's trying too hard to be every-man and it looks too forced, like much of what he does and says. He should just be "Mitt", whatever that is. I don't think I've ever seen anyone try SO HARD to be liked and accepted. It is really uncomfortable to watch.

[Surya Gayatri]

36. It really is cringe-making, isn't it?

In fact, in any normal social situation you'd feel sorry for the guy.

But, this asshat thinks he's presidential material, which changes everything.
SG

[PatSeg]

42. We all knew people like that in high school,

but you don't expect such behavior from a highly successful man in his sixties. I can just imagine what goes through his wife's mind whenever he's on stage.

I still think the man has lived in the shadow of a father who was bigger than life (much like GW) and still has to prove something. We all had to pay big time for Bush's "daddy issues", I hope we don't have to go through that again.

[Surya Gayatri]

43. How true, PatSeg...his awkwardness

seems almost juvenile, as if he suffers from arrested development.

Deliver us from another mal-adjusted son looking to 'best' his daddy.
SG

[PatSeg]

46. Arrested development!

Yes, that's it.

[JBoy]

27. I'm sure Romney thinks his jeans are "just the right height".

[Surya Gayatri]

31. Oh, snap! n/t

[nclib]

33. LOL n/t

[Ikonoklast]

35. Any higher and his voice turns soprano.

[Surya Gayatri]

37. I wonder if he gets heat chaffing in

the crotch area? Those jeans ride so high, he must have to do a modified spread-eagle to walk.
SG

[C_U_L8R]

40. it takes a lot of elastic

to fit those magic underpants in there

[flamingdem]

48. Okay, how about a kinky Mitt

in Mom leather jeans and leather cap (use your imagination, eww)

[IndyJones]

49. That's hilarious! I thought the same thing! I love Shep...follow him on twitter. He's pretty

funny.
