Look I am ALL for Mittens showing us his more human side, but does anybody else wonder if Mitt has bothered to shower since he lost the election?
By the way I am pretty sure we would never see the President grinding on Michelle like this.
I'm just saying.
He looks like he has been drinking for 2 weeks and just decided to venture out of the garage and see what the little lady is cooking up. Apparently, he only combs his hair for campaign appearances.
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Great description!
DeleteIf he wasn't a devout Mormon, I would have thought the same thing. Maybe he was just dosing on cough medicine (the drug of choice for young LDS kids).
DeleteWhere is his magic underwear??? Wouldn't the extra layer under that limp T-shirt show signs of it?

As an ex-temple mormon, I couldn't see any garment lines on either one of them. With Ann, her outer top is low enough to be able to see at least a little of her garment top as well.
Delete@Barbara Carlson
DeleteActually, the magic underwear these days is pretty thin, it's like satin. His arm is pushing his shirt (and presumably his undershirt) back a bit... but off the cuff you're right, it's usually pretty obvious. I'm more concerned about that giant sweat stain under his arm. Or is that just somethingh on my computer screen??
OMG.... I suddenly got curious about them wearing their garments (as mormons call them) AKA magic underwear. Because for other mormons it's usually easy enough to tell if someone's wearing them or not-- trust me, there was always SO much gossip about so-and-so not wearing her garments anymore--so I did a google image search on Ann to see if I could spot it. I actually found pictures of her in a sleeveless shirt! i also found out that a lot of mormon bloggers accused her of not wearing them:

I'm just wondering about the likelihood that Anne Romney actually cooks vs. having a hired cook do it.
ReplyDeleteCooking as entertainment is not the same as cooking because you have to feed a family on a limited budget. Sorta like Marie Antoinette and her "play" farm at Versailles.
DeleteIt looks like a lab, not a kitchen.
DeleteThose cabinets look like something you would see in a lab or a doctors exam room.
What is WRONG with these people?? The HAIRY ASS ARM with the pasty whiteness showing....WTF is that all about?
ReplyDeleteMeh with his junk pressed up against Ann's ummm...ample sized bum?
Meh with that weird...strangely natural...er...SMILE!
And Ann...poor Ann...she looks like she's about to turn around and tell him with gritted teeth..."Please don't start crying...AGAIN...you know it scares the grandkids".
These are BILLIONAIRES!
I think Ann is shrieking through gritted teeth "Go brush your goddam teeth and don't you ever get that close to me again!"
DeleteI don't know, I don't really see anything dirty in that...Just looks like a backwards hug to me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm just desensitized to dirty.
OH my gosh this is a terrible picture. This does not look like a home of a millionaire. It is dead and empty like s palins home, unless this is his new home in California that is just not quite done yet. Still a creepy picture. yup he looks creepy.
ReplyDeletemhrt
Gotta say one thing—no dents in the fridge!
DeleteIt's sweet! If only he could have showed this side during the campaign. Kind of nice to know that he CAN put his hair down sometime.
ReplyDeleteIs that dirt on his arm or his spray tan is peeling off? It does look like he hasn't shaved and showered since the election.
ReplyDeleteI am so Thankful to Anonymous who kept Rove from flipping the vote.
She looks like she's thinking "Don't touch me, loser."
ReplyDeleteLOL....exactly.
DeleteI always get the creepiest feeling with Ann and Mitt's intimacy dynamics, it's more like Ann is his MOTHER than his wife. I postures more like a little boy.
ReplyDeleteShe often says she has 6 'boys' and the dynamic between her and her 6th son is very off putting.
This capture reflects that creepy feeling, like he just got up after boozing it up the night before with his buddies, like he's home from college for the holidays and came straggling into the kitchen where 'Mom' was putting something together. The way he is coming up from behind and wrapping his arms around her is more like an older son, than a husband.
Yep, Gryphen, you nailed it...creepy.
I love your comment. I get that same repulsive creepy feeling. "intimacy dynamics" is an interesting way to put it, it sounds like a software program for a robot.
DeleteEXACTLY! That sheepish grin of his looks like the kid who just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. That's why this photo creeps me out. Because HE doesn't realize what it SHOWS. Some things should remain private, and I think his Mormonness didn't prepare him for a public life. In other words, how to present yourself for public consumption. Nobody wants to see a leader in this mode.
DeletePortrait of an unhappy wife, for eternity.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't look like he is grinding on his wife. He does look disheveled. I'm wondering who cooked the food props for Ann.
ReplyDeleteI just remembered her appearance on GMA. She's making welsh cakes and they ask her what she's doing (while standing in front of the griddle) and she says "They're burning...the griddles too hot... you (people) have to lower the griddle..."
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOVymHcE-cU
My guess is Consuela the cook is standing out of frame with a fire extinguisher ready. lol
C'mon Gryphen, be fair. Pinocchio Mittbot is just trying to prove to us that his robot parts have been oiled with happy (who cares about a dumb old election anyway) and he can act like a "real boy now".
ReplyDeleteI think you're being a bit harsh G. There is no evidence of grinding here, though I don't know why he wouldn't try to look more presentable before posting the photo on his facebook page. He's probably trying to look like 'regular' folk...even though we all know he's as irregular as they come...
ReplyDeleteHope there are no grandchildren around - what fool doesn't close drawers and cupboards
ReplyDeleteCome on, the cook and maids got shuffled out of there so fast they didn't have a chance to.
DeleteFor someone worth a quarter of a billon dollars, those are some cheap-looking cabinets.
ReplyDeleteNo shit, I have the same kind ... in my LAUNDRY room.
DeleteThis is most likely a vacation rental in La Jolla CA where he's been spotted twice by the media. My friend saw the two of them walking down the beach last week with no entourage, and looking much like they look in this photo. If it's not a rental, it's the multi-zillion dollar house they bought and plan to renovate with a car elevator, which is on a tiny quaint lane wide enough for one car, going one-way. The neighbors are not happy.
DeleteI thought the same thing!! And I'm not rich by any means!
DeleteLooks like Ann's concern for Mitt's emotional well being has elevated now.
ReplyDeleteAnn: "Willard! Is that a stack of dimes in your pocket or are you just glad to see me boiling our Krugerrands?"
ReplyDeleteShe looks a tad weary of it all, in my opinion. Didn't she say that, if he were elected she was worried about his mental health? I wonder how it is for her, now? Did she ever entertain what it would be like if he lost? or was she as assured as all the rest that she would be First Lady for the next 4 - 8 years.
ReplyDeleteHee, hee, hee....he does look like he has been on a bender for a couple of weeks or he is majorily depressed. Ann looks remarkably calm...?
ReplyDeleteStrange guy.
ReplyDeleteThink the meds are, just now, wearing off and he's reacting to that.
DeleteLooks to me like he's just so thrilled he doesn't, actually, have to be president and do the job, 24/7, for four years, he can't contain himself! Now, he gets to play everyday.
I don't think he ever really wanted the job, itself, but was pushed into it by ego, LDS leadership and the real head of the family, who thought she could lose him in the White House and be rid of him for four years while she held court and hosted extravagant parties. Now, he's home and underfoot, forever. Too bad, annie, remember you get him for eternity, too!! Karma...
Entirely too close to a choke-hold grip.
ReplyDeleteWild Tortoise.
So long as he stays out of the White House....
ReplyDeleteM from MD
"By the way I am pretty sure we would never see the President grinding on Michelle like this."
ReplyDeleteOh I don't know, it's just a hug. But I have to agree with Olivia, he looks more like he stumbled in and drunk hugged Ann, who doesn't look too pleased.
I wouldn't say grinding, but I'd say choking. Like the Bloggess says: "A hug is a strangle that isn't finished yet."
ReplyDeleteit would seem like a 'no chance in hell' kind of thing that mitt would run again in 4 yrs, but i have heard rumblings in that regards.
ReplyDeleteseeing this 'regular guy' hugging my wife picture and 'regular guy' mitt pumping gas picture the other day, im starting to think he already has started.
He'd be 71. I think the days of president grandad are over.
DeleteAnonymous7:34 PM
DeleteOnly in your fantacies would this guy run again.
He would be mocked, and run out of town if he tried to run again.
Cialis ad.
ReplyDeleteThat funny expression at the gas station might have been because the little yellow pill lasted too long. After about seven hours he was was on the way to the doctor but had to stop for gas! Try to do that and look normal when your johnson is really a JOHNSON!!!
DeleteAs i said elsewhere.......they deserve each other
ReplyDeleteOh, he's not grinding. It's just a hug. My husband does this with me all the time. But Mitt sure looks like he hasn't had his morning shower yet. How strange to let himself be photographed that way.
ReplyDeleteIt's like he said "F**k it! No more g*dda**ed hair gel! Yes, very odd plain kitchen. Maybe that's the kitchen in their car elevator. But why's he trying to act all natural and common now--messy hair and hairy arms (yukko he must have a hairy back and butt too)...why now if he was trying to be like one of the regular folk? very odd.
ReplyDeleteGranite countertops and glass subway tile aren't cheap. That's a convection or downdraft range and looks like a huge built-in Sub Zero(?) frig/freezer. Looks like a double oven next to it. None of that is cheap.
DeleteHere's how the President hugs Michelle - also the most re-tweeted photo ever! http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2012/11/07/facebook_photo_of_barack_obama_hugging_michelle_is_most_liked_most_retweeted.html

they both look pretty beat up, but props to them for the "real" picture. ugly cabinets.
ReplyDeletethe kitchen looks cold and unhomey.
DeleteMaybe Paul Ryan can send his son over to wash the dishes when they are finished. If you blow it up, look in the back corner. Overripe bananas and
ReplyDeletea store bag of onions and something else all jumbled together. Let's just say whoever took this photo did not stage the ugly kitchen very well. Is this really the new CA home? Does Mitt hide 99% of his cash and make them live like people who make $100,000 a year instead of $57,000 a day?
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a Condo in La Jolla. You pay for the zip code and get garbage for real estate. A lot of people simply buy the house for the lot, then level it and rebuild. There are quite a few properties that are dated and/or not well maintained but still command a hefty price. If you're not gutting it's a complete tear down. Zone might require you keep the exact same foot print or that you keep one existing wall. Don't know. La Jolla is too rich for me.
DeleteI will say that they have a rat problem. It's all the ivy. The rats love living in it. Also roof rats live in a lot of the palms and trees.
There are plenty of other areas with either sea views or expensive homes. Point Loma. Mission Hills. La Jolla is for snobs who want that zip code to pretend they're not part of San Diego.
those look like cheap ass ikea cabinets. I wonder if that's a rental?
ReplyDeletePerhaps, this was housing at Disneyland after the roller coaster ride?
DeleteYeah, that's what I thought, and the corner kitchen is way too small for one of their grandiose houses
DeleteThat's the basement kitchen. The fancy stuff is in: the main floor kitchen, the poolside kitchen, the dockside kitchen, the private jet kitchen and the backyard kitchen. The garage kitchen has an elevator, just like the cars.
DeleteHow come Sarah didn't have a prayer or a Presidential slam over Israel or a pretend loving family photo of everyone gathered around her moose dinner? I hear the prodigal war hero is home again from the trenches of whatever general he drives for. Maybe Sarah will finally acknowledge his child as being related to her?
ReplyDeleteIf you go to the C4P site they have a link to the Palin Thanksgiving photo that was given to them by Bristol on today's Open Thread. I would post the link here but for some reason I can't get it to work.
DeleteWhy is it that the Palin kids don't wear shoes and socks. Trip-p looks too big to be almost 4 years old, maybe almost 6. Willow looks like she hasn't missed any meals, and the Pimp looks out of place.
DeleteIt is an interesting photo. I wish Gryph would bring it over here. Somebody is missing. I can't tell whether the woman next to Track is Britta or a suddenly very tall Piper. Whoever it isn't, isn't in the photo.
DeleteI've been to other sites where they are saying that if this photo had been posted pre-election, he might have won. I can't disagree more. This is staged. The kitchen is essentially sterile and Romney is trying way too hard to appear human.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope that these two don't hang around as Palin has for 4 dreadful years. Just go away. Visit your money in the Cayman Islands but just go away. You have zillions of dollars; go away. You've been running since 2007 and can you explain what part of "We just don't like you" don't you understand?
You can't get into Habitat for Humanity like Jimmy Carter because "those" people they build houses for are all takers. You can't create a documentary like "An Inconvenient Truth" like Al Gore because the 2 friends you have left in the GOP would disavow you and you can't be a "comeback" kid because you lack the smarts, the charisma and the sex appeal of Bill Clinton.
So just take Anne and her contempt for us people and fade into obscurity while playing with your car elevator but do GO AWAY!
Amen and thank you for expressing it perfectly!
DeleteAKinPA8:04 PM
Delete'''I've been to other sites where they are saying that if this photo had been posted pre-election, he might have won.'''
I agree with you. He had no chance of winning period. It's his policies, and lying, and flipflopping. NO picture could make anyone win. Some people are really stupid, for saying things like that.
Lady Ann sold her soul years ago to live the high life, she did her part bearing 5 little Mitts and being the trophy wife...now she has forever to enjoy with this creep. I can imagine she will be pushing him out the door to find work as looking at this picture...yuck,having this hanging on you all day everyday can not be pleasant. The good news is there are all these lawsuits pending about Bain...she will still be able to dress up and be in the media "standing by her golden man".
ReplyDeleteLike Laura Bush. From what I understand, she hasn't lived with George since they left the White House.... but after what Babs did to the wife who divorced one of her sons, only a fool would divorce the creep while Babs is still alive.
DeleteI wonder how Laura felt when Babs had her heart attack... Babs is going on my dead pool list.
Did the "illegals" get a break from the kitchen for this photo-op or was it deducted from their pay? Inquiring minds want to know.....
ReplyDeleteHave a nice tumult...
ReplyDeleteAnn seems very uncomfortable with her husbands arms around her. Mitt looks like he's been taking some "happy pills" to get over his loss.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight...and EVERY might hereafter.
ReplyDeleteOh come on, the picture isn't that bad. I wish the guy happiness in his life, while at the same time thanking God/ the universe/ the voters/ whatever powers that be, that he is not our president.
ReplyDeleteHe should hie off to Kolob and take the nutty half of his party with him!
DeleteMy thoughts exactly.
DeleteSheesh
Worst thing I can say about it is to echo the comments others have made about the cabinets. Overall this is not a cheap kitchen, but they spent all that money and still ended up with a cold, kitchen-by-Ikea ambiance. Not a bad metaphor for the man?
DeleteQueen AnnToinette certainly was right to worry about Willard's mental health wasn't she? The man looks deranged. Thank heavens he lost.
ReplyDeleteHe creeps me out, makes my skin crawl. That's a missionary move he learned in France, also known as "French Grind".
ReplyDeleteAnn always has that plastic smile. That's probably the summer cottage- same cabinets and counters- and there's plastic cups on the back counter, yeah like "those people" drink from plastic glasses!
I can't picture them as "first family" material.
Thank the Dog for small favors. At least he's not copping a feel.
ReplyDeleteI think he really is mentally ill. This photo, and the one at the gas station, he looks unkept and disheveled.
ReplyDeleteromney: Mommy you lied to me. You said I would be president.
ReplyDeleteann: They wouldn't listen to me when I told them to, "SHUT UP." Now you go away and play with your etch-a-sketch.
I cant stand his lying,fake self.He was proud of getting people off healthcare. He went to the NAACP event and showed his ass.He did it again to the Latinos.
Then women, children, pets, food...
he actually thought he had a chance to be president with no ideas or platform. Fuck him and ann too. And bug eye tagg.
I second that.
DeletePerson taking photograph: Ann, go stand in front of the stove.
ReplyDeleteAnn: The what?
Ugly ass kitchen cabinets for a millionaire.
ReplyDeleteWe have a winner!
DeleteI'm sure the help...you know, "those people"...had to show them where the institution kitchen was located.
ReplyDeleteBizarre GOP Thanksgiving Pics Make America Ask, ‘What’s wrong with these people?’
ReplyDelete...Bizarre, no? Let’s face it, there are questions that must be answered here. For instance, if you are the kind of person who leaves the cabinet doors open, then you also tend to be the kind of person who leaves your used towel strewn on the counter, not folded. I have serious questions about TowelGate. Must convene a special committee. Maybe John McCain’s Old Man in a Tree can lead the charge.
But maybe it’s just a real life Martha Stewart Thanksgiving with “aspirational” warmth! Yes that must be it, because no stylist worth their salt would have let Mitt pose in that shirt with what could look like sweat stain under the armpit. And their eyes look genuinely unguarded. So maybe the Romneys are just super casual. Mitt’s recent gas station appearance did have the same kind of slightly deranged appeal — a real up, in my opinion, from the cold smugness of candidate Romney.
Ann looks happier than she did during the entire campaign. She looks warmly disheveled, while Mitt — the leaning leader of dependency — looks like he would happily dive into Ann and never emerge. Maybe Mitt just finished having “fun” pushing his grandson’s face into butter. Good times!
Who knows what goes on there — the one thing I am sure of is that I’m concerned about the way Mitt leans on Ann. All of the time and in this picture. Seriously giving thanks now.
So, from our last two failed Republican Presidential candidates, Thanksgiving brought us the Old Man in the Tree and the leaning, uncombed Mitt in the sterile white kitchen with the open cabinet doors but folded towels. America has questions!
Any guesses what’s in John’s tree and why? I’ve got $10,000 on it being the ghost of John McCain past, back when I’m told he stood for something.
http://www.politicususa.com/bizarre-republican-thanksgiving-pics-mccain-romney.html
He and Ann really thought they were going to win. They thought they'd be packing up all their houses and ordering the movers to move them into the White House and figuring out how to make it all tax deductible.
ReplyDeleteThey only thing they were successful at doing was letting us believe they had a shot just by virtue of being on the other half of a Presidential ticket.
Well Ann, it's not hard anymore, just keep on keeping on being a millionaire housewife with Mitt puttering around now.
The title of the photo should read, "Ann, you're all that I have left in the world. No, you won't be Queen, but please stay with me, please."
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mitt is thinking, "Thanksgiving, I give thanks that it's finally over. I tried, Dad, I gave it my best shot. At least Ann still loves me, right?"
ReplyDeleteMaybe thats the kitchen of one of the hidden sisterwives and their family. It wouldn't be cost effective to waste too much on those wives.
ReplyDeleteSee? Even white collar criminals have feelings. This Thanksgiving, I am grateful I will never have to say, "President Romney".
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to bad plutocrats.
The hands always tell the story. First, Mitt is hugging his own arms and she is pushing away from the cabinets with one hand probably because he IS mashing into Ann. Her other hand doesn't look to relaxed. Also her head is bowed down like it was pushed there.She just doesn't look comfortable at all.
ReplyDeleteIf that's a refrigerator/freezer behind them, I wish to gawd I had one that big!
ReplyDeleteHe even manages to make warm and fuzzy look like wanton and kinky.
ReplyDelete
