God that was painful to watch.
Letterman always pokes fun at the celebrity guests who come on to read the Top Ten list, but in this case you can almost feel his disdain for Romney. And the VERY pointed jokes at his expense seem to reflect that.
For the sake of comparison you can watch Rick Perry's turn early last November right after his debate debacle.
If the Romney campaign really believes that people will warm up to Mitt if they just see more of him, I have to say THAT may be a strategic error.
Wow!! Off Topic but I just saw Sarah's latest video. She looks TERRIBLE! Her herpes sore is massive and appears to be throbbing. This is a seriously sick woman. Why won't someone get her help? She is obviously unhealthy and all the drug use is catching up to her. No wonder her entire family hates her and wants nothing to do with her. They're probably afraid to catch her herpes! It's obvious now why she had to phone it in the other day! I wouldn't want to be on TV either looking that bad.
ReplyDeleteIf Willard became president we all be bored to death.
ReplyDeleteWow! How did they get a cardboard cut out to talk?
ReplyDeleteI love how Letterman keeps his back to Willard the whole time. GinaM we love you.
ReplyDeleteNow that Dave has had Perry and Mitt do the Top 10 I imagine he has to give equal time to the rest of them. I'm hoping he resurrects the old velcro suit for Gingrich. Hard to imagine that hunk of bunk sticking to the wall much like the vast majority of his crazy ideas.
ReplyDeleteRon Paul could do a spot-on imitation of Larry 'Bud' Melman and the rest of them can do a group Stupid Human Trick by jumping into a big dish of orange slush and being pushed over the side of the theater's roof.
Mitt showed he is a good sport, and Dave came out and shook his hand.
ReplyDeleteIf Mitt ends up being president, we could do worse.
He's the King of the Constipated. Clearly a people person. Has as much charisma as a banana slug (apologies to banana slugs) and is equally warm & fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not sure Romney got that he was being mocked. I think he thinks he scored to be reading a top ten on Letterman. I'm sure that's how his aides sold this to him.
ReplyDeleteI think Letterman more than anyone or anything else was responsible for the McCain/Palin loss. You'd think after that all Republican nominees would avoid his show like the plague.
Mitt is such a boring stick figure. I don't think I've ever seen Letterman so disinterested or disdainful.
ReplyDeleteThat was pathetic! Where's the hook to drag him off the stage?
ReplyDeleteRomney always had that problem, for some reason he just can't seem to connect with people in any way. The irony of it is, he probably gave himself a pat on the back afterward, thinking he hit one out of the park.
ReplyDeleteWhat I would love to see is Christine O'Donald do a "will it float" segment.
And, yes, Letterman's disdain was evident an palpaple, expecially his sign off "Good luck on the Campaign Trail" in the most deadpan voice he could muster while laughing.
