Political columnist Roger Simons shows admiration for Mitt Romney's body

[antiimperialist]

Columnist Roger Simons from The Politico magazine described Mitt Romney in a rather unusual way, upon declaring Romney the "winner" on the last debate.

Simons said Romney

has shoulders you could land a 737 on.

It's not the first time Simons shows admiration towards one of Romney's body parts. He previously said that Romney had

chiseled-out-of-granite features, a full, dark head of hair going a distinguished gray at the temples, and a barrel chest.

1. Wow.

Guy's got a man-crush on Mittens almost as bad as the one Tweety had for Little George in his sock-stuffed flight suit.

:puke:

3. Just wait til the Mittens-man rolls out his cod-piece outfit

It will be the uniform for fighting the Crusad --- er, uh war. Simon will be drooling so much he can't write.

2. Very creative-I love how you did that as I just browsed that story!

:7 :thumbsup:

4. Now I know one thing

Judging by the criteria used by Simon to determine who's a good politician, I'm 100% convinced that he won't be voting for Dennis Kucinich.

5. Probably typed it with one hand.

6. But when Al Gore really was in great shape in the 2000 campaign

the media sneered at him for it.

Yet another thing that's admirable if you're a Republican but laughable if you're a Democrat.

7. Looks like an attempt to cast him

as the patriarch and macho soldier type - which deserves to be critiqued for its cultural, gender, and military-worshipping implications, as well as the obvious comparison to how women in politics are normally described.

critiquing it from the homophobic perspective is less necessary, imho.
