Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Last week while campaigning in Michigan, Mitt Romney said it was good to be back in the state where he was born because "the trees are the right height." Andrew Heller writes, "The comment was so stilted, and he does that sort of thing so often -- from "corporations are people too" to telling unemployed Floridians that he's likewise jobless -- that it makes me wonder about him. He seems perpetually out of his element when he speaks in public, like the king in The King's Speech, only without the stutter."

So what maybe the trees are just the right height, at least every other word isn't a LIE or Bullshit story like the current CIC,,,

AnD Obama is just the kind of CIC who can NOT see the trees in the first place because the forest is in the way,,,

Williard's high on trees.

"I like driving cars."

Way to go Rainman.

I'm an excellent driver.

Meh.

Was he drunk?

Mitt is able to appreciate God's creation. He knows the trees are just the right height. That shows a spiritual insight most Americans lack. He has my vote, that's for sure.

All I heard was "Like me please. Plllleeeeeaaaasssssseee like me. I used to be liked. Once. Would you please like me".

This is what happens when the magic underwear rides up a bit to much. Cut's off circulation to the brain, engages babbler mode.

This could never happen with Frothy and his Mutant Ninja Turtle boxer shorts.

What Mitt meant was the trees are high enough for his airtight dog carrier to get under

Dude that's the kinda shit Corky would say if Obama had said this. The guy had a gaffe, don't blow him on an anonymous blog like this.

I like air. Can i see a show of hands for anyone else who likes air? I like water too.

Some of my best childhood memories, involved breathing air and drinking water. I don't know about you, but michigan has some of the best breathing air and drinking water I have ever seen.

So, vote for me, before Obama takes away your air and water.

Maybe teleprompters aren't such a bad idea, after all.

That video clip of Romney is hilarious.

"A little history. I was born and raised here. I love this state. It seems right here. The trees are the right height. I like seeing the lakes. I love the lakes. There's something very special here--the great lakes, but also all the little inland lakes that dot the parts of Michigan. I love cars. I don't know, I mean, I grew up totally in love with cars. It used to be in the '50s and '60s if you showed me one square foot of almost any part of a car, I could tell what brand it was, and model, and so forth. Now, with all the Japanese cars, I'm not quite so good at it, but I still know the American cars pretty well and drive a Mustang. I love cars. I love American cars. And long may they rule the world, let me tell you."

Was he high?

It's right up there with:

"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love."

Doc, don't be so hard on Mitt.

Millions of us wrote something very similar to that in our "What I Did This Summer" reports.

In third grade.

For example, I distinctly remember in fourth grade writing that Cape Cod was ideally suited to be called Cape Cod because it was shaped like a cape.

Maybe I could sell it to his campaign.

He sounds desperate.

Three years ago he gave Michigan the finger and he expects them to vote for him.

What a maroon.

Now he has to campaign in overdrive and comes off sounding like Rainman spewing word salad sentences of things he loves in a flailing idiotic attempt to appeal to Michigan voters.

If he wasn't made of plastic you could see him sweating.

Another great thing about is his modesty. I was reading that he is actually worth over a billion dollars. But does he brag about it? No. He humbly claims he is only worth about $250 million. That's a classy guy.

What? You mean to claim that Rmoney is believable to you because of.. what? Obama?! Are you a fucking (or celibate) moron?

Precisely what we should be acknowledging - Rmoney is a humble billionaire who made is money putting thousands and thousands of Americans out of employment. At least he keeps those offshore banks employed for life. Hell, he might even own a couple, but we'd never know because he's such a simple man of modest means.

Another great thing about is his modesty.

Lot's of modest people have swiss bank accounts. Much better to keep your own estimate of your $$$$ on the low side so people will not go looking for the hidden overseas assets.

((I still know the American cars pretty well and drive a Mustang. I love cars. I love American cars.))

Does he really drive a Mustang? Personally I can't see him behind the wheel of that car. Lexus or BMW, but a Mustang? I'd love to see proof of this.

Mitt was driving a Canadian built car in his TV commercial.

While many Michiganders remember his father, Mitt can't count on them automatically voting for him.

After all, his father was for the Civil Rights Act, against the Vietnam war ("I've been lied to by the generals"), and took a cut in pay as CEO of American Motors because he said he makes too much compared to hourly employees. For starters.

Mitt wouldn't vote for his own father if he were a candidate today.

The guy had a gaffe, don't blow him on an anonymous blog like this.

Bradford is a spoof. He's actually kind of funny if you accept that.

Rmoney likes the little lakes in whatever place they are, especially next to them perfect trees. If you don't want the gummint moving your lakes around on you, vote Rmoney.

Unless, of course, you'd like your lake moved to another place, then vote Rmoney, He'll move it for you. He'll strap it to the top of his Rambler.

You mean something similar to this:

Carney: Obama Didn't Turn Down The Keystone Pipeline
www.realclearpolitics.com

EX

Your attempts to change the subject aside:

Why should a SECOND Keystone pipeline be built? With oil companies EXPORTING record amounts of refined gas they've blown the argument drilling more oil here somehow reduces our dependence on foreign oil, doesn't it?

Romney: "I love Michigan. It looks pretty much like the last time I visited ... in 2008".

"Bradford is a spoof.
#30 | Posted by northguy3"

The fact that you have to explain that to brainless morons like Sohefox astounds me.

#32 Let him have his brain dead talking point.

He is quick to point out the politics involved in not to give the green light to the pipeline, but he is dense to the politics involved in creating an arbitrary and irrational deadline to make a decision in the first place.

Nevermind that the sole purpose of the pipeline was to get around paying taxes in the US by the companies that would be pumping that dirty crude through forests and parks. They wanted all the profit, none of the cost and a release from liability should anything happen.

"Does he really drive a Mustang?"

Yes, a 2005 convertible.

"Bradford is a spoof. He's actually kind of funny if you accept that."

I actually read his "no citation necessary" as if he were Elvis saying "thank you very much." It really adds to the experience.

"I like the Michigan trees and lakes more than Mitt does, even if I've only been to Michigan once. That's because I know Jesus made all those trees and lakes and none of them use contraceptives. I would move to Michigan except it would be too far for me to commute to my job as a corporate whore."

Mitt is on to something. I mean really, who doesn't like trees? This is an issue which can unite people. Everyone likes trees.

I love little baby ducks. Old pickup trucks. Slow moving trains.
And rain.

A question not addressed by Mitt, of course, is what to do with trees that are not the right height? And I think we can all appreciate why Mitt would avoid this issue. His candidacy has already generated enough controversy as is.

No citation necessary.

All trees that are not the right height need to be euthanized immediately if they cannot be made to conform to Republican standards of height.

Bradford-I think you nailed the issue. The GOP talks about being a big tent party, but they have yet to explain exactly how tall is their big tent?

Oh crap-another issue Rmoney has flip=flopeed on:

Romney's mother Lenore, 85, recalled toting her teen-age son along during her raucuous 1970 Senate campaign. 'He wanted to punch anyone who didn't like his dad,' she recalled. 'I told him if he did that he was through. I told him to go over and punch a tree if he was that mad - and he did.'

He punched a tree. Not just any tree, a Michigan tree. Was this tree not the right height, Mr. Romney? Which side of the tree-love issue are you really on?

Unless, of course, you'd like your lake moved to another place, then vote Rmoney, He'll move it for you. He'll strap it to the top of his Rambler.

#30 | Posted by northguy3

I'm having a hell of a time imaging that. Romney will strap a lake to the top of his Rambler, and move it for me?

Well, I guess that's no more amazing than Obama lowering the sea levels.

I doubt they even get wet.

Just the littler ones, and there will be some brown oozing down the back window.

And a pissed off boater or two. That helps, thanks.

Yeah, both Stewart and Colbert played the tree clip on their Monday show.

The guy is just one ginormous Panderbear by this point.

Due to his "GM should just go bankrupt" article 3 1/2 years ago MItt's actually going into MI, the place he was born and grew up (His dad was CEO of AMC for years), 4 points behind Santorum.

Is lulzy.

Be Well.

Best part about Monday's Colbert Report was finding out that his 91 yo Gramma is doing alright now.

Cool beanz.

Be Well.

I like old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

what to do with trees that are not the right height?

#54 | Posted by BradfordWinston

Ah, this is a good point.

And if we encourage trees to be height-challenged, we are gonna have a tree height GAP. Then the communists will take over.

Surely, there's a gov't program we can use to throw money at this problem.

I LIKE GRAVITY!!!

I know there are those out there that want to put gravity down.

I like american gravity best of all.

I want to send a message to Obama. Stop wasting my hard-earned gravity!

I remember once when I thought the trees were just the right height and the moon coming up was so pretty and the chips and twinkies were really good.

of course it was on a hilltop at college in 1968,,,

(wink wink)

When pressed on the subject, Rmoney clarified with:

There is unrest in the forrest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

I'm not a big-game hunter
I've made that
very clear
I've always been
a rodent
and rabbit hunter
Small varmints

My Friend
by Willard M. Romney

Corporations are people
my friend
of course they are
Everything corporations earn
ultimately goes to
the people
Where do you think it goes?
Whose pockets?
Whose pockets?
People's pockets
Human beings
my friend

Where do you think it goes?
Whose pockets?
Whose pockets?
People's pockets
Human beings

I've met human beings.
I like human beings.
They smell funny but I still like them.
They're people.
Human people.
Not like us, but still likeable in their own way.
.......Mittens the Robot

A Kanrei Klassic from August 2011:

To the tune of "People are People"

If Corporations are people
Then why should it be
Wal-Mart and I get treated
So differently
If Corporations are people
Then why should it be
Wal-Mart and I get treated
So differently

I pay my taxes in full
And always on time
I pay a dollar in taxes
To every one of your dimes
You get a voice as an individual
Now you want one for your cash
As Politicians bend backwards for a piece
Of your stash

I can't understand
Why we let the government
Give to corporations
What they give to man

If Corporations are people
Then why should it be
Wal-Mart and I get treated
So differently

Sounds like he was off teleprompter.

So what--I like the beaches!

Am I the only Retorter to notice that when he's agitated Mitt Romney sounds exactly like little Jimmy Valmer from South Park? Let's test this. Tell us a lame joke, Mitt!

This would actually be really funny, but his delivery sounds so insincere it makes your skin crawl. Mitt doesn't give a flying fuck about Michigan, or the American Auto Industry. He got his, but he stills wants to be President, so he can be the priest fulfilling a Mormon prophesy. An organization that could pay off the national debt, because of the clever ways they hide money behind their religion.
