Ann Romney, speaking about her husband Mitt:
“I still look at him as this is the boy that I met, in high school, when he was pulling all the jokes, and really just being crazy. Pretty crazy. So there’s a wild and crazy man inside of him … just waiting to come out.”
It’s true. He once had a sip of coffee and stayed up until almost 11.

Yeah, I bet he was a real cut-up back in high school. Tippin’ cows. Occasionally wearing Keds instead of the usual high-shine dress shoes. Eating jello without fruit embedded inside. Laying his sister off from the lemonade stand they set up on the sidewalk.
The man is 65 years old. If da crazy hasn’t come out yet, my guess is that it isn’t coming.

I agree with this statement. His current policy positions are wild and crazy.

Is she claiming that he used to be Steve Martin?

OK, so assuming we believe this for even a minute, Mittens is wild, crazy…and hasn’t grown up any since high school. And these are supposed to be among his positive qualities as a presidential candidate?
But what’s sad is that there’s no progressive equivalent to FOX News – this would be such a great headline: “Anne Romney: I’ve waited for Mitt to come out since high school”

I hate to be the bearer of sad tidings but that little boy was long ago rooted out in the halls of senior corporate management, drown in the pool of the senior management gym, and the remains retrieved and transported in the dark of the night to be unceremoniously dumped with the rest of the toxic goo.
Bye bye lil Mittens

jimmiraybob – sure ‘lil Mittens’ wasn’t murdered then raped by Mr Bek in the 80′s (remember Bek never specifically denied it).

There must have been a pretty low bar set for humor in Romney’s high school.

Some people say that it would be irresponsible not to speculate.

As pointed out on NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me today, the only way Romney could have a wild and crazy guy inside him is if he’s pregnant with Steve Martin.

Ann Romney needs to STFU. She’s only made a handful of public statements, but somehow every one has made her intensely unlikable.

Al Gore and John Kerry probably both look at Mittunswillard and say to themselves, “There, but for the grace of the REAL GOD, go I, one stiff gaited, lack of affect, podperson step at a time. Romney is possibly the only person who could make either of them look,”loose”.

Let’s hope not, or else he’s bound for hell! The Mormons eschew the drinking of coffee, tea, or caffeinated beverages, don’cha know?

Oh, yeah, Mittens is a wild and crazy guy alright, that video of him hanging with the black folks and sayin’, “Who let the dogs out” was enough to convince me right there.
