What does Mitt Romney wear to bed? "As little as possible"

The normally uptight Mitt Romney found himself on Friday pondering how best to answer the question, What do you wear to bed at night?
"I think the best answer is as little as possible," the Republican presidential candidate said.

(sorry to have to tinyurl this--it's from The Clicker--but the link was about six lines long)

I wonder whether this coy little tidbit comes from the kind of mistaken thought process that led him to choose Paul Ryan, who was widely described as being handsome before being more widely described as being a liar.

Does Mitt really think that this kind of information is attractive rather than repellent? Nobody wants to hear their grandpa wears as little as possible in bed. Maybe he's thinking of the "boxers or briefs" question that Bill Clinton got when he was running, but... Bill Clinton was Bill Clinton, who was so cool he didn't look stupid playing the saxophone. It's just sort of sad if Romney thinks that planting an image of Naked Bedtime Mitt in our heads is going to intrigue anyone or make anybody think he's a regular guy.

Not hot, Mitt.

How much does Romney know about foreign affairs? As little as possible."

How much does Romney care about his fellow citizens? As little as possible.

How much is Romney willing to disclose about his tax returns? As little as possible.

What does Romney plan to do as president? As little as possible.

They have to wear it all the time except when bathing or doing the horizontal tango. The really weird thing is that women have to wear it under their bra and other undergarments. But I really don't want to think about Mitt Romney's underwear, magic or otherwise.

Yuk.

Too much information, Mitt. We really did not need to hear that.

And Paul Ryan is not handsome, he's creepy.

you're a Bishop Mormon. It's mandatory to wear them at all times. Protects you from the wolf under the bed. So imagine him wearing those instead of naked. Personally I prefer the former.
