Jeesh. Give the guy a break.

or what interests are shoveling him money hand over fist
through Rovian so-called "charity" organizations.

What a laugh. Charity indeed. Mitt should be ashamed of
being supported by a "Charity". Goddamn moocher he is.

If you were called to a meeting with the Governor...you had to stand at the tape?

It 's so odd I can hardly believe it...maybe he's germ phobic...

I guess he's not germ phobic because he's reaching into the crowds .Still, his sense of entitlement does rival royalty.

Where did you read this? I'd love to see the whole article or story that this little tidbit came from.

I don't think he could be germ phobic--he couldn't be a politician and actually be afraid of touching people. It must just be a control/asswipe thing.

The man is just not right.

Edited to add: sorry, never mind--it looks like you're talking about someone on TV with Chris Matthews. I can't wait to watch it later!!!

BOSTON — When the ceiling collapsed in the Big Dig tunnel here, Gov. Mitt Romney was at his vacation home in New Hampshire. When the Bush administration warned that the nation was at high risk of a terror attack in December 2003, he was at his Utah retreat. And for much of the time the legislature was negotiating changes to his landmark health care bill, he was on the road.

During Mr. Romney’s four-year term as governor of Massachusetts, he cumulatively spent more than a year — part or all of 417 days — out of the state, according to a review of his schedule and other records. More than 70 percent of that time was spent on personal or political trips unrelated to his job, a New York Times analysis found.
