Mitt Romney (R-Utah, er, Mass.) disrespects the Philly cheesesteak

[KamaAina]

one of those Super Bowl bet things...

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has apparently turned his nose up at Philadelphia's beloved cheesesteak as part of a friendly Super Bowl wager with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.

Romney, a first-term Republican governor, refused to accept the traditional Philadelphia sandwich in exchange for lobsters in the traditional pre-Super Bowl bet between leaders of the two states represented in the game.

"He said the cheese steak had no nutritional value," Rendell told reporters Wednesday at an event, citing that Romney was fitness-conscious.

Remember Kerry's encounter with the Philly cheesesteak? Swiss, indeed! How would they get the holes in the can of "Swiss Whiz"? :-)

[Longgrain]

5. Please PLEASE say it's so.

Let's get that carpet bagger back to Salt Lake city. I'll even pay for the airfare.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

10. Salt Lake or Grosse Pointe? Where exactly is this asshat

from?

[ooglymoogly]

23. wherever...sadly now he is gov of ma.

[Longgrain]

28. Depends on weather there's a campaign going on

or an Olympics that needs whoring for.

[Momgonepostal]

6. What a total jerk

Just accept the friendly wager and give the food to your staff or suggest an alternative bet. He's an uptight ass.

[WindRavenX]

7. Romney is a complete moron

I fucking can't stand him, and I have NO idea how such a facist Republican POS got elected in this state...

[Arkana]

8. On behalf of all Bay Staters

I apologize for Asshole Mittens. He will be gone by 2006.

[BlueStateGirl]

9. It doesn't matter, Mitt's on the losing side of that bet.

[Zuni]

11. Mitt Romney will be gone soon

[koneko]

12. He SO doesn't deserve to represent Mass.

I didn't vote for him.

Then again, I didn't volunteer for Shannon O'Brien's campaign so that he wouldn't get elected, either.

I won't be making that mistake twice.

What a fucking maggot puswad dickhead slimeball fuckface. How's that for diplomacy, taking the highroad. It's passive aggressive, and he is a fucking dolt. :mad:

He evokes the same kind of negative responses from me that Bush does, albeit on a lower level. They're both sleazebag assholes who don't deserve their offices.

13. Besides Being A Closet Queen...Mitt's Fine

A Total friggin' disgrace to an otherwise great Commonwealth:toast:

[Longgrain]

14. Be sure to take the surveys alongside the article in the link

from the original post. Apparently us Bay Staters aren't alone...

Nobody likes Mitt.

[WindRavenX]

16. then how did he get elected?

NOBODY I've asked this has given me an answer. I can see how an occasional moderate Republican could get elected, but Romney is so far to the right that it just boggles my mind how this state could vote for him!

[DaveinMD]

18. because Dems ate their own

the primary was nasty and the party never unified.

[Longgrain]

19. I think It was the media...

as usual. Bad press for O'Brien after her "Tattoo" remark during the debates. The Media Whores ran with it for days...

[Bunny]

15. No nutritional value, eh?

Fine. We'll send the fucker some scrapple then! Nutritional value my ass! :mad:

Does this douchebag have ANY concept of diplomacy, graciousness, and tact? Wait, don't answer. I can figure that out on my own. What a dick!

[DaveinMD]

17. I hate Romney as much as the next guy

but a Lobster for a Cheese Steak is not a fair bet. Lobster is about 20 bucks. 4 times the value of a cheese steak.

[Bunny]

21. Although your point is valid, money wasn't the issue. n/t

[DaveinMD]

22. I know

Romney is an ass, but I hate the Eagles so I'll take his side on this.

[Bunny]

25. Okay! I'm a Steelers fan myself, so I have no love for the Pats.

Never been a big Philly fan, either, but nobody disses the cheese steak!! :silly:

[DaveinMD]

26. I'm a Giants fan

I hate the Eagles as much as I hate Republicans.

[Floogeldy]

20. Anne Francis likes the cheese steak

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. Romney the cahpetbaggah needs to get the hell out of Mass.

he's an embarrassment.

[name not needed]

27. Fuck Romney

He doesn't have to eat the steak! He can shove it up his ass for all I care.
