oh, your essay was so good!  I’ll donate a dollar if 49 other people agree to also.

darn, you would have so much fun at that game with Biff, or Tagg, or whichever son.  they’re all so smiley!

or a baseball signed by Mitt! that’s so meaningful because….why?  was he a baseball player?  I don’t even know.  I thought he sprang to life as a governor.

god, I’d forgotten about the dog….....

The best submission will receive an all-expense paid trip for 2 to join me in the Romney family seats at Fenway Park for a Red Sox game.

Sounds like the plot for a really bad porn movie.

Or so I’ve heard.

Update: Shit! You have to donate $50 to the PAC, or your entry will not be considered.

Color me completely not surprised.

Although a $50 entry fee might be the only way Romney the younger can avoid spending time with a couple of bug-eyed birfers, complete with neo-NAZI tattoos and a twitch under one eye caused by too much meth.

Well, Willard Romney’s middle name is “Mitt,” which is essential equipment for a catcher. So I guess his autograph is as good as Babe Ruth’s on that account alone.

oh, a catcher’s “mitt”!  I, uh, get it, maybe.  ugh, those people are so weird. 

I kinda don’t want to attend a baseball game while they’re on the same planet, just in case they may be there.

but my dollar offer stands.

Betty, I’d never really understood just what the dog-on-the-roof reference was.

Somehow, I envisioned his leaving the carrier on the roof absent-mindedly, and driving for a few blocks, as many of us have done with purses or bags of groceries. How can it be possible that a man who roped his Irish Setter’s carrier to the roof and drove for 12 hours wouldn’t be run out of town on a rail, much less considered for office? I just hope he tries for the presidency again, along with Rudy and his dogkiller wife. And wolfkiller Sarah. What an attractive field of candidates.

The deliberate cruelty, not to mention treating another being as if made out of the same plastic polymer as Romney, stuns me.

stupid fuckers…its all about the money, isnt it? these fucking Republicans cannot do a simple charity work without putting money into the equations. Would it have killed them to at least allow registered Republicans to submit an essay?

btw, i thought I should mention this..but did anyone see the look on Mitten’s wife face (whats her name?) every time he lost in a state and promised to continue being the running against McCain? She had that dont-fucking-blow-away-the kid’s-inheritance-you-stupid-fucktard-in-a-country-whe re-no-likes-you look. me putting my money on the fact that she will not allow Mittens to run for local school board member let alone President ever again.

She will not allow Mittens to run for local school board member let alone President ever again.

I would bet a case of beer he runs again, Mrs. Romney’s opinion of the endeavor be damned.

Hmm.  You know, Betty, in some places it’s illegal to conduct a contest for a prize of monetary value where an entrance fee is required in order to participate.

Which is why contests all have those “alternate methods” to enter that don’t involve including a box-top or proof of purchase or whatever.  And why, when the Obama campaign had fundraising drives to win a trip to Denver, etc., they also offered ways to enter without giving $$$.

I wonder in what state Mitten’s PAC is registered, and whether those rules apply to the activities of a PAC in that jurisdiction or not…

i’m soooo disappointed!

mittens has suspended his youtube account!

That thought occurred to me too, Allan. Hmmmm. A little research is in order, methinks!

If you give a hundred bucks can you be exempted from the possibility of winning the game with googlyeyes?

Eh, there are tons of places that only take literary submissions for a fee. I’m a member of the Dramatists Guild and we get emails about “pay to play” scams constantly. But as part of a political fundraising ploy, it’s pretty skeevy.

On the other hand, what could be more American?
