Manly Mitt is terrified of questions that don't come from the Elite Beltway Punditocracy:
Republican Mitt Romney isn't sure yet whether he'll participate in the CNN/YouTube.com Republican debate in September, but he's no fan of the format.
"I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," he said in an interview yesterday.
Hmm... now why do you think he might not be a fan of YouTube, I wonder? Got anything to do with this?
And it looks like smiling and holding up a sign that compares a US Senator to the guy who killed 3000 innocent Americans isn't the only thing we should "lighten up" about. Mitt on the Manchester GOP Shoot-Em Up Derby:
He said he's flown F-16s and shot Uzis and an AK 47s, "and they're fun. But I don't think anyone is suggesting that these kinds of weapons are going to be in the public domain."
"It sounds to me like a novelty and a fundraising opportunity," Romney said. "We have to lighten up a bit as a society and not always be looking for 'gotcha.' "
If they're so much fun, Manly Mitt, if you're so fond of fighter jets and machine guns, why did you, like Shotgun Cheney, have other priorities during Vietnam? And why aren't you attending the event? Perhaps because you are terrified of YouTube and its ability to send around the world video of you trying to fire an Uzi?
I think I might just vote ABM in the Republican primary this year: Anybody But Mitt. I'm tired of cartoon presidents.
Evening Update:Man, that was fast. No wonder he's so scared of YouTube. He's a YouTube magnet:
