When he isn't doing his Steve-Forbes-circa-2000 impression (a Republican of my acquaintance rolled her eyes and nodded vigorously when I pointed the odd similarities between politicially hapless zillionaire Steve Forbes and politically hapless zillionaire Mitt Romney), our favorite antifemale Mormon guy is making the pulses throb wildly in matrons of both sexes. Get a load of this (h/t DownWithTyranny):
In this media-driven age, Romney begins with a decisive advantage. First, he has sensational good looks. People magazine named him one of the 50 most beautiful people in America. Standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall, Romney has jet-black hair, graying naturally at the temples. Women-- who will play a critical role in this coming election-- have a word for him: hot.
Hoo boy. Hose the ladies down.
In the '20s, there was the It Girl. Nowadays, we have the Mitt Boy. All must fall down in abject abjectness before his cut bod, his artfully tousled hair, and his studly balance sheet.
So, when will Maureen Dowd start sharpening her claws on Pretty Boy Romney? When will she start obsessing to all and sundry about how much his hairdos cost? When will she start calling him 'Breck Girl'? Or "Oromnbi"? Or does she only do that to Democratic presidential candidates?

Hi Phoenix Woman!
shit, he’s hot
hey - who photo-shopped Mitt’s head onto my body?
Hey PW! One big difference between Redubyacan zillinaire Forbes and Redubyacan zillionaire Romney. One looks like a dweeb and one looks like a Stepford resident. (And since I pretty much can be considered to look like a dweeb, I can say this.)
SUCH a good question.
My guess is, when she tells what SHE spends on that sultry red ‘do of hers.
PW I can’t see the pic again, I am using IE7. anyone else have a problem?
Mitt’s first name is Willard. You know…like the RAT!
lolo @ 1
Damn, Lolo - you’re on fire!
Good question. When will MoDo to get her claws in Mitt?
Consistency really demands it, you know.
Lou Costello @ 8
Fits with PW’s earlier post today a few threads back…
dakine01 @ 4
I was going to call him an empty suit but I like Stepford Resident. Thanks dakine!
dakine01 @ 5
Dweebishness is as dweebishness does……
Speaking of that, can anyone tell me why Bill Gates, with more $$ than anyone else on the planet, evidently DOES spend only $12 on haircuts??
Does he ENJOY looking like a dork?
Jane Hamsher @ 10
Consistency? From MoDo? Jane, have you been sampling adult catnip again? ;})
Mutant Poodle @ 8
I think only 2 today.
Hot. Hot. Hot.
oddmommy @ 13
I think he’s hot, but that may be the gazillionaire thing
oddmommy @ 13
When ya got his money, you can look like anything or anyone you want. I mean, who’s going to tell him, other than MAYBE his wife.
lolo @ 12
;})
“sensational good looks”. One of my 84 year old mothers more famous quote is that “if women are going to vote for a president because he is good looking then they do not deserve the vote”.
That goes for the rest of us too, thanks mom.
chrissy_matthews @ 15
Tweety Mitt = ♥
MoDon’t saves her best bitchy venom for Democrats who aren’t “masculine” enough to be president.
Yet she writes books about women not needing men.
The lady has serious issues.
Romney is safe from MoDon’t-he’s just right for the Daddy Party. His money isn’t an issue-Republicans are supposed to be rich and the richer they are, the more studly they are. He’s MODont’s ideal candidate.
Well, I would, in the unlikely event he were to ask my opinion.
Kevster @ 22
but fabulous hair. I hope mine looks that good at 60
dakine01 @ 11
Exactly! I was thinking that. He fits in well with that vermon pile.
lolo @ 21
Hey my didn’t show up : (
lolo @ 21
Are you suggesting Tweety’s next Man-Crush?
Oh I just love how republicans understand the wimins so well! Of course we couldn’t even begin to consider such weighty issues as social justice, the health care crisis, or fledgling fascism. Look at them wimins acting like citizens! Har Har!
Nope, once again we’re blinded by our hormones and left all fuzzy every time we view the Romney visage. Because a bag of hormones is what we is!
I’m surprised the wingnuts and their pundits haven’t yet gotten around to polling separately the ’soon to be pregnant woman vote’ the ‘virgin woman vote’ and the ‘housewife vote’..oh shit they already do:
“Married women, single women, soccer moms.”
Silly me, must have been the Romney-Man up there getting me all woozy and slutty. Quake in your pants wingers! I’m divorced, I’m a slutty bitch who likes sex and I wouldn’t vote for that prick on a bet!
Ah. I feel so much better now. Thank you.
plus sign didn’t show up twice!
The mods greatly appreciate it when you pick a screen name and stick with it. Sock puppeting is cause for being banned from commenting.
Thanks.
RBG @ 31
Ok who did it?????
Wil @ 24
fabulous?! Gimme a break. If SHE’s a redhead, I’m Paris Hilton.
And as for not “needing” a man, when evidently ya can’t GET one, well…..I believe there’s a fable about that sort of thing.
Sorry folks, there is something about MoDo that turns me into a total f******g fishwife.
““if women are going to vote for a president because he is good looking then they do not deserve the vote”.
That goes for the rest of us too, thanks mom.”
Super idea, I think the men should sacrifice their vote first and their right to say no to sex, drive motorcycles, sports cars or run companies as well. Just to make sure we start off on even ground.
how much does his haircut cost him and does he get his back waxed?
RBG @ 30
Even for transparent comedy?
My bad.

If you haven’t seen South Park’s take on Mormonism…A MUST! They tell the story of Joseph Smith.

What makes you think I was referring to your comments?
Jane Hamsher @ 10
Ah, but that’s the hobgoblin of foolish minds, as Emerson once said. And besides, he’s a Republican, so he can be as Breck-Girl-y as he wants to be.

Have a chocolate bar.
Lou Costello @ 38
was recently approached by two young lady LDS “missionaries” while walking my doggie. Funny, I thought they only used boys for that stuff. How very progressive of them.

Delusions of grandeur.

Can’t see it, but don’t want to complain or they’ll ask me to send them a picture. So, shhh.
oddmommy @ 43
I run into all types and totally baffle them with logic. I don’t have faith in God..I KNOW and it has nothing to do with the Bible. Totally freaks them out.
oddmommy @ 32
Me too she makes my blood boil. I liked her before the 2000 election but after the way she went after Gore, forget it.
I’m not having any problems, lolo.
You all know Romney will be on 60 minutes tomorrow, right? If you can stomach it.

A lot of small, um, minded wingers would prefer you take your self-assured an un-apologetic self somewhere where they can pretend that you (and your sisters) don’t exist.
Hot? Eh. I’d rather have poor but smart and kind.
Phoenix Woman @ 36
ok I will just imagine. This is the first time this has happened. I wonder why, oh yea MS sucks.
Back to more weighty matters:
Some fact checking on Romney’s campaign ads.

I gotta see it!
Dear Mods. I changed from Texas Betsy to TexBetsy a few days ago. Still me.

i get only the very tip of the top of the pic.
Firefox, lolo.
“Consistency really demands it”. ‘Consistency’. Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever heard.
TexBetsy @ 50
The “Romney is hot” logic (hard on the heels of Gordon Liddy’s “what a package” barftasticism), leads to the conclusion that Darryl Hannah should have chosen Rick Rossovich instead of Steve Martin at the end of Roxanne.
I am filing a copyright on barfasticism.
Don’t worry about missing this pic, lolo, but figure it out for later. It is nauseating.
allan_in_upstate @ 52
Yes, do check it out and save it in case we need to show our repub neighbors.

The bar on the Republican side must be really low
john in sacramento @ 65
Does this mean that gay men are not a significant voting block in repub primaries?
kate @ 28
Ditto, except I’d say the fascism’s further along the path than fledgling.
Romney is a lightweight so despite the anticipated media blackout on all of the bullshit that Romney fed the people of Massachusetts when he ran for governor (when contrasted will all of the bullshit that he’s shoveling now), he’s gonna get smoked by competent opposition. This may mean he’s the GOP offering, but the D contenders will take his lunch money. He’s an empty suit and from what I gathered as I watched him in MA (and today) unafraid to embrace hard core wingnuttery and a bit naive in a “Woody from Cheers” sort of way.
So is he going to give me that lap dance with or without the slingshot? Work it, girl.
Lou Costello @ 55
Sheet he’s hot is it photoshoped or for real.
TexBetsy @ 66
Dunno, you’d have to ask someone who’s gay or Republican
Hey thanks lou. How about the rat pic. Prettyplease.
There must be something wrong with me-libido wise. Not my type.
Seriously — go to Mozilla.com and download Firefox. It’s FREE! You’ll never go back to IE unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Java recently did some updates that MSIE-based browsers can’t handle. Firefox? No problem.
In other news: The Shiite-dominated Iraqi parliament is on the verge of passing a motion to force US troops out of Iraq.
You would think that this would lead every single American news broadcast, but you’d be wrong: The story comes to us courtesy of Yahoo!News in Singapore.

I’m totally lovin MITT! can’t wait until the godbags figure out what that religion he practices is all about. they don’t have a god - each and every man is a god.
can.not.wait.
oh - teh mitt’s fave read: battlefield earth. just purrfect.
OMG… he is claiming he saved the Olympics… Woohoo…. It is my understanding from someone who was in management there that it was a clusterF**K and Romney just kept doing the same….
Get this…. hired standard electricians to lay TeeVee cable for the ski runs, 5000 ft lengths BUT since NO ONE was there who knew TeeVee… the cable was laid backwards…. THEN someone ran heavy equipment over fiber optic cable damaging it. I have pictures of a guy in a snow storm hauling thousands of feet of cable by hand when the original cable was strung in the summer.
Loo Hoo @ 79
they keep rolling along

Oh, and can I dream that he’ll do a Katherine Harris and squander lots of his own money on this campaign wet dream?

jayt @ 4
Whew! That’s a relief! I was thinking, ‘oh-oh. How can I NOT vote for Mitt for whose the hottest president?’ That is the contest, right?
(Seriously. I don’t find him physically attractive at all. I actually think he’s, dare I say, exceedingly bland.)
Phoenix Woman @ 74
Hurray for the Iraqi parliament. If true, how’s Bush gonna spin this!
WenG @ 84
Maybe he’ll do WHaaaanity and show off his boobs!
katymine @ 81
That would be the Olympics with this major bribery scandal, right?
Does this mean that gay men are not a significant voting block in repub primaries?
No, but the percentage of gay Repub’s *in* the primaries is pretty damn high.
Mitt Romney is a girly man.
Mitt’s been running frequent TV and radio ads here in NH and they’re Daily Show-like in their surreal , hero-portrait quality. Almost laughable.
Wordsmith @ 86
What is it with the GOP and bland pretty-boys? Remember - Dan Quayle was going to lock up the female vote (because, I hear, all you ladies do is vote for the better looking candidates anyway).
Mitt was the governor for four years of the Big Dig. Guess when he marched in and looked accountable?
The day a woman was killed by a falling ceiling panel of concrete. Oh yeah, he was manly that day. And he stayed manly til he got his manliness as far away from Massachusetts as we could kick him.
jayt @ 4
JayT for President!
I think Mitt looks exactly like the well-dressed shoe salesman who tries to convince you that you can wear a size 6 when you really need a 7. Just me, I guess.
Ahh, the great white hopes that the Repubs dangle before us.
From Wiki, “Great White Hope, sometimes plain great white hope, (originally referred) to …
James J. Jeffries (1875-1953), a white boxer who came out of retirement in 1910 in an attempt to dislodge the first black world boxing heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson.
Saturday’s CBS Evening News is running Fred Thompson as the next last great white hope of the Republican Party.
And the Dems could have a counter to this Republican Tenneseean: Al Gore, Senator from the same state.
Both Gore and Thompson have been showing their video capacities recently, Gore in his movie Inconvenient Truth and Thompson as the solonish DA in Law and Order.
Strange world.
At least Joan Vennochi(sp?), Scott Lehigh and Brian McGrory (among others) from the Globe have called him on his flip-floppery. I know they all hedge toward the middle when they run for President, but Romney’s quotes as he ran for MA governor alone would crush him if they saw the light of day in the MSM.

His hair looks like Tom Delay’s.

hey john in sacramento — i’m going to be in sacramento - rancho cordova at the sacramento marriott rancho cordova for 10 days for classes in july. is there a place nearby you can recommend for swimming, taking walks? i might have time early morning, lunchtime or evening.
thanks
But Forbes was the anti hunk. I don’t actually see the hunk in Mitt but sure saw the dweeb in Forbes, but what do I know.

But there is a pretty decent gym at the WH - right? wonder if there’s a jacuzzi?

Nevada residents: sign the petition!
Recall Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons
“Governor Jim Gibbons is unethical and a liar. He is not fit to serve as Governor of Nevada. He must be recalled as soon as the effort can legally begin.”
We have to keep him for 6 months. He’ll be eligible to be recalled in June, I believe.
Romney flip-flop, par example:
http://www.newsamericanow.com/.....-flip.html
Twain @ 96
Good.
I think Mitt is teh hot. You people are just meanies!
(/K-lo)
We know Mitt by his given name “Willard.” Look it up.
That would be the repub ladies. WE have better sense.
Jayt says:
I believe the WH health club amenities include a bowling alley…with beer and pretzels and everything!
Mutant Poodle @ 93
Doesn’t Quayle seem less dumb and unqualified afer all these years of having George W. Bush in office?
The interesting question is whether Romney will self fund his campaign at crucial moments in a way similar to John Kerry leading up to the Iowa caucuses…GOP rank and file say he’s a people-powered candidate but i dont see these ind donations sustaining at a rate anywhere comparable to Barack Obama’s.

Badwater, keep in mind that Richard Nixon is lookin’ good.
Mitt? Bring him on.
I would like someone in MSM to stop repeating the bull about women voting for looks. Did it start with Kennedy? If so, didn’t he lose the popular vote?
And if you were to be serious and do a real study, I think it would show that men are more concerned with physical appearance than women are. We look for other qualities.
Badwater @ 111
NO
You know, I am not the most fit person, but I bet I could take Mitt in an arm-wrestling match. He has a nicer manicure than I do.
Geez, now I know how important brush-clearing is to qualify for president!
Mitt is a girly man.
