Very Presidential: Mitt Romney Also Made Fun of Random ‘Chunky’ Women

[kpete]

"
Yesterday, we learned that Mitt Romney wasn't shy about mocking onetime potential running mate Chris Christie's weight. (According to Mark Halperin and John Heilemann's Double Down: Game Change 2012, the former Republican nominee "marveled" at Christie's "difficulties in making his way down the narrow aisle of the campaign bus" and "cackled" at a video of the New Jersey governor without his suit jacket.) An excerpt of Halperin and Heilemann’s book published today by TIME reveals that Romney’s fratty attitude toward fat people does not stop at Christie: "'Oh, there's your date for tonight,' he would say to male members of his traveling crew when they spied a chunky lady on the street." Very presidential.

1. read the whole excerpt. it is good

During the veep picking process the Romney campaign used fish related code names for possible running mates. Rubio was "pescado" and Christe was "puffer fish."

a sucker - remora to be exact. Paulie an angler and Barack a blacktip, no doubt. McCain? Lutefisk.

This is the same asshole who shoved his children's faces into their food plates and laughed about it. Nothing you could tell me about him would surprise me.
