I wish you wouldn’t call Gov. Ward Cleaver “Slinky.” A slinky is an adorable toy and hours of fun for the whole family. Romney is smug, self-satisfied, and callous…not slinky!
I bet Romney has binders full of useful information like this.
But let’s not jump the gun with our good byes just yet. Keep yer powder dry for the interminable legal battles ahead.
“Legitimate storm” cracked me up even though it wasn’t Romney’s line!
