Keeping It Classy In The Romney Family [Reader Post]

Loading

Up and at em’ last Sunday morning with some reheated Tim Hortons and a cat I am not particularly fond of in my lap I did my usual political news search looking for something to be offended by. What I came across left me in a state of befuddled indignation.

It came from the U.K.’s Daily Mail. It was titled Trick or treat! Romney’s son and daughter-in-law  dressed as the Palins last Halloween for famous couple’s party”. Being far more curious then then a Washington based journalist I clicked the link to be confronted with this picture.

Who is this you may ask and does that guy really like Yamahas that much? Is he a driver posing with a race queen or a drunken sponsor’s wife? No. That is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Romney, Mitt Romney’s second son posing as Todd and Sarah Palin.

Like I have previously stated I was looking to be offended, and amazingly I find myself working up to froth just short of trying to defecate on a New York City patrol car. Are the Romney’s 3.0 mocking the Palin’s in a way like one would dress royally acceptable as a man that mastered minded bombing your country and subjects seventy years ago? Are they mocking them like a bully points downward, laughing, and mocks his or her victim as they lay on the ground sobbing in the mud, imitating there shame? Or are they mocking the rest of us Todd and Sarah’s who work blue collar jobs and would love to have a shiny new Yamaha hat and shirt? Living in Maine I know a few young bucks that would love to purchase them at discount before Matt donates them to charity due to no further need because Halloween is now over.

Whatever the reason or whoever Matt and Laurie’s little jape is aimed at its now out in the open for anyone to speculate upon or find offence from. I saw my opportunity and went for it. At the very least Laurie’s blog should be vetted by her father-in-laws team of political strategist and opposition researchers. (I don’t believe Mitt Romney’s legal team needs to be involved. That would be overkill.) Now the question left is who will they dress up as next year? I hope someone close to them with a working knowledge of the common peon will advise them against dressing as a blacked face minstrel rendition of Barack and Michelle Obama.

P.S. I got dibs on the two Yama’s Matt bought so he and Laurie could sit and rev them up in the back yard for their 2012 Halloween Party power point invitation.

PITTY…

I didn’t know Tim Horton’s is in the states. I miss the coffee and muffins.

It’s entirely possible that the couple may approve of the Palins and dressed up like them for that reason, (emulating rather than mocking).

What a goof!

Hmmm…I wonder if Matt has ever asked Laurie to dress up like Palin since. You know, “Nudge nudge. Nudge nudge! Know what I mean? Say no more…Know what I mean?…A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?.”

Say no more!
