Mittens is apparently getting ready for Roger Ailes' newest show, FNC Cribs:

At Mitt Romney’s proposed California beach house, the cars will have their own separate elevator.

There’s also a planned outdoor shower and a 3,600-square foot basement — a room with more floor space than the existing home’s entire living quarters.

Those are just some of the amenities planned for the massive renovation of the Romneys’ home in the tony La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego, according to plans on file with the city.

Apparently, however, there's a problem: Projects like this require permits and must clear an approval process with city planners. So, in order to speed that process along, Mitt Romney has hired a lobbyist. For his house. At the cost of $21,000.

Can you say tone deaf?
