Whither The Mittster?

I simply cannot let the exit of Willard Mitt Romney from the Republican contest for that party’s presidential nomination go unnoticed without a look back at some highlights.

Where to begin? Well, we had Roger Simon of The Politico swooning over him here, along with Romney’s claim that France has seven-year “trial marriages” here, his abandonment of former campaign liaison Sen. Larry “Wide Stance” Craig here, his criticism of Rudy Giuliani for running a “sanctuary city” for illegals in NYC here (Giuliani’s response that Romney ran a “sanctuary mansion” was the only positive moment of the former’s campaign as far as I was concerned), as well as Romney’s proposal to end taxes on investment earnings for families making less than $200,000 per year here (definitely not my neighborhood – and how does it feel to have your campaign ended now as well as that of John Edwards who you criticized?).

Well Mitt, just don’t take any instinct of self pity too far – The Onion has been known to accidentally hit upon the truth from time to time.
