Will do and/or say anything to win and election, all the while being arrogant and insufferable.

Frankly I think he was just a very convenient Mormon with a daddy who had contacts and name recognition and with Mitt's contacts he was a person who could weasel big bucks out of the Federal Government to pull the SLOC's asses out of the fire. They needed a fellow Mormon to keep all the secrets that needed to be kept and they would naturally trust another Mormon. Just like if it were Freemasons the Freemasons would have looked for a Freemason.

From Salon "Mitt's Over-Hyped Olympic Gold":

"Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt tapped Mitt Romney to take over SLOC and save the Olympics. In the words of Salt Lake Tribune editor James Shelledy, speaking to Lawrence Wright: 'The Governor conducted an exhaustive 48-hour search for the best B.Y.U. graduate available.'"

I'm sure he'll say he knew nothing about the pins until they showed up in Salt Lake and it was all the decision of some staffer. You know, like shredding all the interesting documents like contracts and invoices and budgets and board minutes. Just some low-level staffer.

Somebody at Obama supporting Super-Pacs has got to be creative enough to make an ad out of that which just paints Rmoney as the self-absorbed ass he is.

He should be too embarrassed to show his face in public. EVER!!

Who does that? Who puts their face on an OLYMPICS commemorative pin? Does he think he exemplifies Olympic athleticism? I don't get it. My gawd, what a narcissist!!
