Mitt Romney waxes poetic about 'magnificent' French vacations with wife

Mitt Romney waxes poetic about 'magnificent' French vacations with wife

by Jed Lewison



After more than one month of dodging press questions, Mitt Romney finally had a media availability today, taking five questions in less than 10 minutes. Two were on immigration, two were on who his vice presidential pick would be, and one was about his most fond memory of France.

Romney, who regularly attacks President Obama for allegedly trying to turn America into Europe, was unabashedly enthusiastic about the time he spent vacationing in France with his wife. He recalled the joy of "walking around the city of Paris," which he called "one of the most magnificent cities in the world."

This is the same Mitt Romney who not only attacks President Obama for supposedly being too fond of Europe, but also slammed him for allegedly taking "elaborate vacations." Now, however, Mr. Car Elevator says he wants to go back to Paris. "I look forward to occasional vacations again in such a beautiful place," he said.

I thought Republicans were going to crack down on jobless persons and their globe-trotting ways?

would fit on a Deux Chevaux. But I don't suppose he was driving one.



And for once I agree with Mittens about something - Paris is indeed one of the most magnificent cities in the world.

We still have six months of Romvelations and watching the Teabaggers gnash their gums at every turn.

No way RimJob is going to make it to November without stroking out.

His cluelessness is totally stunning.

He is so out of touch, it's like his fingers are made of stones.
