"The Real Romney"

Romney was a precocious and gifted child. He uttered his first words (“I like to fire people”) at age 14 months, made his first gaffe at 15 months and purchased his first nursery school at 24 months. The school, highly leveraged, went under, but Romney made 24 million Jujubes on the deal.

Romney is also a passionately devoted family man. After streamlining his wife’s pregnancies down to six months each, Mitt helped Ann raise five perfect sons — Bip, Chip, Rip, Skip and Dip — who married identically tanned wives. Some have said that Romney’s lifestyle is overly privileged, pointing to the fact that he has an elevator for his cars in the garage of his San Diego home. This is not entirely fair. Romney owns many homes without garage elevators and the cars have to take the stairs.

1. Has Bobo Brooks finally seen the light?

Or is this just a part of the MSM finally turning on Romney?

3. "...He had a pet rock, which

ran away from home because it was starved of affection. He bought a mood ring, but it remained permanently transparent...."

4. I love the part about the sons:

"Bip, Chip, Rip, Skip, and Dip..."

But I don't know what was meant by,
"After streamlining his wife’s pregnancies down to six months each..."

to make it more efficient.

7. Is David Brooks voting for Obama this time around?

I thought he was a conservative, but obviously he doesn't like Romney.

Nice read, LOL!

8. Unless he's a complete fool

...he'd have to vote for Obama

10. Satire usually has an element of truth in it

This is great satire.

12. And yet, it's so close to who he is, that it's nearly *not* a parody. Shades of dudya.
