So what is this shit Romney said about Bill Clinton telling him he thought he'd win?

Tonight on Lawrence O'Donnell's show he played a newly released clip of Romney on that post-election conference call. In it Romney claims Clinton called him after he lost and said a week before the election he thought Romney would win, but then Hurricane Sandy happened, made Obama look presidential and he won.

I don't think President Clinton needs to respond to this claim, in that he doesn't need to dignify it with a response because it comes from the mouth of a serial liar, but if he did come out and deny it boy wouldn't it even further cement Mitt's reputation as the mendacious, bullshitting sack of shit that he is.

....feel better about losing. He was laughing when he talked about it.

Romney is a proven liar. That's all that needs to be said.

7. And Clinton considered joining the GOP after hearing Queen Ann's convention speech?

WTF? Seriously? Or is Clinton fishing for a fat donation to his Global Initiative? Or is Romney just going stark, raving mad and "hearing things"? After all, Queen Ann did mention her concern for his "mental well-being" on more than one occasion.

He has been a choir boy since the Lewinsky crap. His CGI is important and he wouldn't hurt it by making stupid remarks like that. Mitt is an idiot who will say anything. People like him see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear....no sense of reality.

11. Mittens trying to get the last lick.

Remember when you were a kid and you fought with your siblings or close friends and your mother said stop it and you kept slipping in a lick trying to get the last lick until Mom popped somebody. The one who got the last lick won. Juvenile Mittens is playing that old game. If he can smear Bill on his way out the door, he wins. After all, President Obama could not possibly have beaten him without Bill.

12. I hope Clinton does deny it

Because as much as I hate to admit it, I am not 100% sure he didn't say it. It doesn't mean he actually believed it...he probably was just trying to make Romney feel better, since on a human level he knows what it's like to go through a presidential campaign, and it was never meant to become public.
