Besides, I try not to click on the Washington Post. What do they give me, five articles a month before I hit the paywall?

..."Carlos Danger" was Anthony Weiner's handle. But, it all makes sense, since they are all bunch of pervs.........Mitt has skeletons...... I would bet.

Actually,, the Salt Lake Trib has an article limit, but so what--it was a great piece.

Hit one of the links, folks--lots of fun!

More mirth before meat: Delecto's DISapproval ratings,

16% Strongly approve
30% Somewhat approve
25% Somewhat Disapprove
26% Strongly Disapprove

In the other thread, I mentioned seeing "Pierre Delecto 2012" t-shirts. Just the thing to go with my "sore/loserman" shirt, which is kind of worn out.

...and his fantasies of greatness...or significance? Or something.

Considering his full, legal name -- "Willard Mitt Romney" perhaps we should call him "Willard Mitty?"

He seems so desperate for a legacy, which may turn out to be little more than booklet of lame jokes. No, I doubt Romney will be the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy, or any other prophecy.

That is a very good article. In another life Mitt might have been a great man.

From J. Marsolo's column,

"(T)his should end the career of Pierre/Mitt to be the next John McCain as the go-to-guy whenever the Democrats and the media need a 'Republican' to attack President Trump and conservatives. Pierre/Mitt is now a joke, a buffoon. The Dems and media may use Mitt, but nobody has any respect for him. Who now cares what Mitt or Pierre says?"

Thus, LW, I respectfully take exception to his ever being a great man in another life. What this episode shows is that he's sneaky, cowardly, and duplicitous, using a lame nom de guevara to anonymously lob his his small-bore mortar rounds, embellish his credentials and advance opinions. In his political soap opera, he's learned that he has just "One Life To Live."

Lest we get into a political tangent, I'll mention without getting specific that he's quite the flip-flapper (sic).

He has every personal advantage--money, resume, connections, experience in the "real world"--and he occupies the inside lane, as it were, if the GOP decides to change direction. That is the stuff of greatness.

What he lacks is character. It is a fatal flaw.

Could be worse. He could be phoning in to radio shows as someone else to pat himself on the back.

The Twitter thing is funny but not funny enough to be hilarious or genius because the account itself isn't that interesting.

And Mitt is not in the same ballpark as any kind of "greatness." Just another mediocre rich empty suit blowing with the wind.

He'd make great GA material though, except that I think he's embarrassed the Brethren too much already. Plus he'd never be satisfied with being low man on the Q12 seniority totem pole.

Mitt has always been quite the prankster. He impersonated police officers/campus police in high school and college, and disguised himself and called himself Tim Yenmor at a student meeting in Berkeley in order to protect their sacred ax. It's all classic Mitt.

He's a bully with an attitude, plain and simple. But he sure wants the world to know that he hates our leaders, that the "mantle of authority" is missing. And that he is qualified to be a critic of everything that goes on that has nothing to do with him.

There should be a certain place (the dump yard) that we could cosign all the losers of presidential elections. They all get bitter with their whining and complaining. It's not attractive.

I won't be specific because doing such would be entirely too political, but I could not disagree more strongly.

It appears that those who used to complain about others' playing the victim are now doing it themselves.

As is the right of any person--even you--in a democratic republic.

He is less qualified than I to complain? Is he less qualified than you?

Where may one find enumerated the requisite qualifications for expressing an opinion? Or do you just want to shut down people who disagree with you?

Really? They should lose their rights as citizens? That seems a strange principle on which to run a democratic society.

Aren't you on the winning side? And yet with all your "whining and complaining," you come across as "bitter."


--------------------

I couldn't agree more. The winners' whining is unattractive. But as citizens with freedom of expression, you and your fellows still have every right to complain.

So too Romney.

Isn't Pierre the French equivalent of Peter?

And Delecto is basically the same as "delectable"?

What's Mitt (aka delectable Peter) trying to tell us?

The last time I was this confused was when I was dating Leggy Ferenda, the Italian supermodel and she confessed to me that she was dating Erga Omnes, the East German women's swim team coach.

I think Mitt's twitter name should be Carlos Danger.

Other variations include "Carlos Delecto," "Peter Danger" (quite a pun there!), and so on.

Carlos Danger, Pierre Delecto, and John Barron all walk into a bar.

Superficially, that's a funny joke but there's a lot more to it than humor.

Well stated.

...verbage reminiscent of his time in France as a Mission President's assistant...where he almost killed a Catholic Priest, and the Mission Prez wife died in a roadside collision. Move along...Mitt IS PIERRE DELECTO!...the guy who got away with murder!
