Things just won't fall into place for the presumptuous and presumptive nominee. Hell-hounds on his trail seek vengeance for the maltreatment of fellow canid, Seamus, and Mitt's living in a constant state of dread. Karma works pretty well, don't you think?
To commemorate this Very Bad Week, here is a quick summary in limerick form of the Mittonian Mis-Steps of the past few days. As always, you are welcome to add your own poetical contributions in the comments, or to point out things I've missed that warrant an additional limerick or two.
As Bin Laden’s remembered this week
As Obama’s achievement – the peak
As Commander-in-Chief
Mittens screams “Oh, good grief!
All he did was apply my technique!!”
In Afghanistan, President O
Met with Karzai, as you all now know
Gave the troops a fine speech
Mitt cries “Hey! Over-reach!
It’s unseemly that he got to go”
Giuliani and Mitt spent the day
Giving dozens of pizzas away
As their generous gift
(Or just crass PR grift)
Bragging how they’d keep terror at bay
Chinese dissident Chen Guangchen’s out
Of our embassy, now there’s no doubt
He’ll get hospital care
With his kids and wife there
Mitt should not have been mucking about.
Rick Santorum has still not endorsed
And perhaps he will not, unless forced
Neither Gingrich nor Paul
Have conceded at all
It’s one task that just can’t be outsourced.
Mitt did not even RSVP
For the Lone Star State’s June GOP
State convention; but Rick
Sent his back oh, so quick
To hang out with the Party of Tea.
Things have really not ended too well
For new Romney aide, Richard Grenell
Snarky Tweets? That’s okay
But for Pete’s sake: he’s GAY!
How’d he ever get past personnel??
Now that GM can proudly proclaim
That their profits are up; there's no shame
As Mitt lies to our face
"This is just one more case
Where the brilliant design bears my name"
"Start a business! Just look at my son!
With ten million, just look what he's done!
Ask your folks for a loan
Start a firm of your own
You'll find out: firing people is fun!"
Now it's YOUR turn: what have we left out?
Are there other faux pas we can tout?
Leave a comment or two
I'll see what I can do
To exacerbate Mitt's sense of doubt!
