Romney is baffled by a plate of doughnuts, then calls Obama “out of touch” with people

Watch Mitt Romney struggle to identify a chocolate doughnut:


His butler must call them something else. That clip is like Mr. Burns having dinner with the Simpsons.

After sitting around with the poorz for a spell, Mittens then had the nerve to say, “[Obama] said the private sector is doing fine. Is he really that out of touch? I think he is defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people.”

Right. Obama’s the one who’s detached and “out of touch” with American people, not the multi-millionaire with five (more?) mansions who has bank accounts in places like the Cayman Islands and Switzerland, and says he likes to fire people, isn’t concerned about the very poor, and thinks corporations are people — definitely not that guy.

And then there’s this: Mitt Romney held a roundtable discussion at an Iowa restaurant but the Des Moines Register reports that security ushered the owners and staff “to a back portion of the restaurant and they were unable to meet the former Massachusetts governor.” Perfect.

Yesterday in an Iowa grocery store: Newt Gingrich’s ego met reality

Clean up on aisle four!

When a man in a camouflage coat grabs your hand in an Iowa grocery store and calls you ‘a fucking asshole’ to your face, it might be time to take stock of your position in the state.

For Newt Gingrich, who was on the receiving end of the unorthodox greeting Tuesday, it was a sign that his campaign is returning to earth after having rocketed since Herman Cain’s collapse.


Ouch!  That was definitely a two-dozen-donut-and-gallon-of-ice-cream remark for Newt if ever there was one. Luckily, he was already in a grocery store.

And btw, Newt isn’t JUST a fucking asshole. He’s recently revealed that he’s a crazy fascist as well:

“Just so we’re clear, this week, a leading presidential candidate articulated his belief that, if elected, he might (1) eliminate courts he doesn’t like; (2) ignore court rulings he doesn’t like; and (3) take judges into custody if he disapproves of their legal analyses.

I hope it’s unnecessary to note that Gingrich’s vision is stark raving mad.

I’ll just conclude with this observation: Newt Gingrich believes Barack Obama is a wild-eyed fanatic, guided by an extremist ideology, hell bent on overseeing a radical overhaul of the American system of government.

The irony is rich.”Steve Benen
