Now We Know Why His Homes Need All That Space
“I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs.” —Mitt Romney in Detroit today, describing the automobiles typically found beneath his dog carrier. [BuzzFeed, via Political Wire]
Why would a 1%er even think about driving a Mustang?
Liar.
Seriously, Romney’s claim is as phoney as that picture of him doing laundry in a pristine, never worn, pair of bluejeans and a white, pressed and starched collared shirt.
Romney’s worth $260,000,000.00. What the fuck would he be doing in a truck? And if he really were the car enthusiast he pretends to be, he’d be talking about the Ford GT that he owns, not the Mustang. People would be absolutely 100% OK with Romney owning a Ford GT, because that’s the one American car that any genuine enthusiast would own if he had $260,000,000.00 in the bank. Americans don’t resent success and wealth. But they won’t tolerate a phony.
@Serolf Divad: I only hope that there is one journalist left in the U.S. who will have the initiative to check DMV records in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Utah, California, and any other “home” state in which Romney has a shack to see what cars are associated with the address.
Dude is total douchebag Lexus. I can just feel it in my bones.
@SanFranLefty: If I recall Rachel’s report correctly, when Mitt was running for guv he was told to play up the Mustang, and ixnay on the eemer-bay.
“Sorry Debbie, no new Mercedes this year. We have to set an example.”
Oh yeah? Set this!
