And it was born the same day as another "Royal". The idiot thinks that his grandchild is somehow more important than the other 38,000 children born that day...

That he was kinda of making a joke about the royal baby.
A facebook friend had a baby the day of the royal baby birth and they also posted something about the baby being royal.

He and Ann truly believed it "was their turn to rule". Thy said it enough times during the campaign for me to believe he wasn't joking.

that EVERYONE thinks their grandchild is more important than the other 38,000 children born that day. If you don't know that then you have never been a parent or grandparent. So apparently everyone is an idiot.

I don't care that he thinks it's special, I think he is an idiot for thinking it's ROYAL. He and Ann believe that thay are better than you and I. We are "You people" to them. Born on third base and he thinks he hit a Triple. The man is an egotisical sociopath and I'll call him on it every time.

If you are so indifferent, why not go find somewhere else to play? Other boards (or a bridge) might actually appreciate your support of Romney and Bush. Then again, they might find you disagreeable as well.

...Prince Romney's use of the adverb 'royally':

roy·al (roil)
adj.
1. Of or relating to a monarch.
2. Of the rank of a monarch.
3. Of, relating to, or in the service of a kingdom.
4. Issued or performed by a monarch: a royal warrant; a royal visit.
5. Founded, chartered, or authorized by a monarch: a royal society of musicians.
6. Befitting royalty; stately: royal treatment.

royal·ly adv.


I think the suspicion is especially justified given the recent birthing of an heir among the "Anglo-Saxon royalty". Remember, Romney is reputed to have a great appreciation for the Anglo-Saxon heritage.

There might have been a bit of friendly one-ups-man-ship in the 22, as well.

Mitt is not just any old grandpa. His Facebook isn't for his family. I realize he's not the first nor will he be the last public entity to believe the masses give a hoo about his private life. And yes, grandparents generally do have annoying and wonderful habit of bragging on the grandbabies to any poor sap standing still... however..... Mitt's public display is particularly annoying for the same reason his wife expected us all to feel sorry for her because the campaign schedule was so demanding.

He is happy to have a new grandson and posts that on Facebook.

Obviously, he is weak when it comes to humor, but it is pretty obvious he was making a joke on THE baby. Given the number of threads on DU about that, who are we to criticize him on that.
