Mitt the Player


The way Mitt Romney talks to the American people reminds me of the same way young fellows talk to their girlfriends when they are 17 and trying to cheat on them. They will say anything, make up anything, and hope that the girl likes them enough not to check. There is a stunning disconnection between what comes from his mouth and what is true.


The truth is that much of what Mitt says is a lie, but what the hell, right? Perhaps Mitt Romney doesn’t understand, having married so early; he has never courted anyone since he was a teenager. He still finds himself at some awkward, desperate stage, imagining he can just wink at them and play loose with facts.

If the American voters are as naïve and gullible as teenaged girls, Mitt might win. Then what?
