Mitt Romney's Porn Problem (by Chris Kelly at HuffPost)

Chris Kelly
Mitt Romney's Porn Problem


Mitt Romney doesn't know porn, but he knows what he likes. And he doesn't like a children's book called King & King.

Last Friday, he was telling the National Right to Life Convention about his deep and recent feelings on abortion -- lately he's against it -- and he kind of drifted off subject:

"And parents of a child in second grade were told that their son is required to listen to the reading of a book called The King and the King (sic) about a prince who marries another prince. The school's rationale was since same sex marriage was legal, the education system should advance the idea... I immediately drafted and introduced legislation to grant religious liberty protection, but the legislature wouldn't even take it up."

I know that doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the high purpose of the Right to Life Convention -- punishing sluts -- but you can see Romney thinking it's the kind of thing they'd like to hear.

Mitt Romney: You'll come for the pandering. But you'll stay for the gay bashing.

Now, for all I know, Massachusetts is knee-deep in abortions -- I try to avoid it, by flying into Providence instead -- but it's unlikely that the women having them are grade-school lesbians.

It's an applause getter, but it isn't logical. Almost makes you wonder what other kinds of crazy things he believes.

...(snip)...

According to another article I'm lazily plagiarizing, Mitt Romney sat on the Marriot Board from 1993 to 2002, may or may not still own Marriot stock, and reported an $80,000 campaign donation arranged by J.W. Marriot last April.

Personally, I don't care what hotels do. (I just wish they'd make a little shampoo bottle with a top I could open when I'm in the shower and my hands are wet. How hard is that? And did I mention the Toblerone?) But -- again, according to right wing anti-porn wackos, so sue them and not me -- Marriot has provided its guests with entertainment including:

Bad Wives 2
 Bi Bi American Pie Dark Meat Sandwich Hustler's All Girl Slumber Party Kinky Kouples Sex Games Maximum Ram
 Nasty Office Nymphs
 Naughty Neighbors
 Naughty Collegiate Schoolgirls Newlywed Infidelities
 Quick n' Nasty - Petite Poundings Risque Biz & Bad Habits Spring Break Pantyhoes
 Ten Xtreme - Interracial Facials Three Women & a Resort
 Women in Uniform Special
 Young As They Come
 .....(more)

I bet this never happened. Let's see some proof, Mitt.

4. It's a real book and a real lawsuit
There's also a sequel...King & King & Family in which the main characters adopt a girl. The authors are Dutch. I saw let's all buy copies and get ol' Mitt to autograph 'em!
