And I will have a great life knowing that Romneybot is far away from the White House.

Unfortunate, isn't it?

"Don't worry, honey. He's going to go to a lovely farm where he can play with other old millionaires."

He said that if he won, he was going to get a Weimaraner.

Weimaraners everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. They don't want to jet around on the roof of Airforce One.

The Onion's headline was great: Obama, Romney remain about equally powerful.

Didn't he self-deport already?

But - in his mind - it will NEVER be as good (and divinely mandated) as it coulda, shoulda, woulda been.

Really, couldn't have happened to a more deserving ::shudders:: person.

Romney is still part of the 1% and don't worry..they are still in charge.

Well, at least he can stop paying taxes again.

I was expecting his concession speech to be: "Fuck you all. I'm moving to Grand Cayman."

A life of luxury, but not the luxurious life of the Mormon messiah he was looking forward to. Someone else is just going to have to usher in that 1000 years of eating out of silos or whatever.

Yeah, but a lot of people now know him as a two-faced liar. And who wants to do business with that?

I'm reminded of all of the hedge fund scumbags and financial weasels that got shaken out of the investment business in 2008. I was told that they were tossed out on their butts. That may be true, but they landed on fat wallets that cushioned their fall.

You mean like the guy building the basketball stadium downtown?

Yeah he will... and somehow that just seems unfortunate and wrong.

I guess it's back to deceiving only his family and business associates. Seems much less satisfying than lying to the entire nation, but still, a good life.

Yeah, well. Rosebud is the name of the sled.
