1. and boner responds, "thank you. and who are you again?"

[railsback]

2. Oh, no - The Kiss Of Death!

Just ask Manny Pacquiao.

[still_one]

3. One loser to another one

[ReRe]

8. Exactly...

...my thoughts when I read the title to the OP. We are of like minds...

[Ken Burch]

4. Well, does Mitt have anyone else to talk to these days?

[Wait Wut]

5. Amazing.

There is still a Republican in this nation that will speak to either one of them. It would make a beautiful story.

[CherokeeDem]

6. The orange man takes Romney's call...

but wouldn't take President Obama's on election night???

I hate these bastards....

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Cha-ching!

And no need to go any further on that...

[Botany]

11. nor would he take Gov. Christie's calls either

[2naSalit]

9. So THAT's why he was crying again!

But seriously, as mentioned above, probably the "kiss of death"... (one can only hope) and that made him cry.

But then, maybe they can communicate as only one Cheeto to another (although temporary) Cheeto can!! Maybe R$ was trying to convince him to give up the Crayola image for his own sake this time around. Either way, I can't imagine how R$ could give anyone good advice.

[PatrynXX]

10. about as useful as a Donald Trump approval.

bonk. ie.. just watching this new third party called Republicans go down the drain into the black abyss of unknown..

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. ......

[ReRe]

13. So Romney thinks he is the titular head of the Republican Party now???

I swear, that "Party" doesn't know which end is up. "John Boehner is reelected speaker of the House in the 113th Congress and Romney calls to congratulate him." That is one sick effed up bit of reality, right there... Geesh!

[blueclown]

14. Who gives a shit.

Is this really news?

[Cali_Democrat]

15. Who's Romney?

what does he do?

[AtheistCrusader]

16. I guarantee Romney will be back to run in 2016.

It's a fucking certainty.

I can't decide if that's good because he's a gaffe factory, or bad because goddamnit go away already.

[SunSeeker]

17. He won't take Christie's calls but he'll take Romney's?!

Rachel is right, Boehner really is bad at his job.

[Tutonic]

24. Tee hee hee, now Boehner has the stank all over him.

Romney and Boehner can drink dirty water together.

[SunSeeker]

26. LOL nt

[Cha]

18. Did he thank him for raising his taxes?

[lexw]

19. In the land of make believe...

Maybe he wakes up some days thinking he won.

[Tutonic]

25. which loser are you referring to? Tee hee

[mentalsolstice]

20. DWTS for both of them!

However, I don't watch the show, so I'll save $$$ on the eye bleach.

[Zambero]

21. Bad Loser calls Bad Speaker

There could not have been too many recent success stories shared during that conversation.

[Lasher]

22. Who is this Romney person

of whom you speak?

[marble falls]

23. Maybe the Mitt curse will strike again. No one is paying Paul Ryan too much attention, though ....

he had to take some Teapublican flack over his 'cliff' vote. He took a phone call from Romney and now John Boehner has taken one. Bet you he's been drinking a lot more lately.
