"She also got me a 3-pack of shirts at Costco, and...and, they're very nice shirts."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Oh, Mitt. You and Ann really ARE one of us. Well, two of us.

Ann: "He's wearing them ALL THE TIME now!"

Just showed the clip on Morning Intern Killer Joe. David Gregory said Romney's remark about loving the shirts "doesn't have the ring of truth."

[RKP5637]

1. Oh... How could we have EVER doubted the honesty and sincerity that they really are just

another couple of struggling Americans just like us. In fact, I think we should take up a donation to help them with their finances.

[Tennessee Gal]

2. Condescending Bullshit!

Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Just be who you are .... elitists who don't have a clue what it is like for the average American.

[reformist2]

3. They'd be better off not saying anything at all.

My follow-up question would be, if you don't spend money on expensive shirts, maids, cooks, etc... what *do* you spend it on? Or are you pretty much just money hoarders?

[BumRushDaShow]

5. OMG

What you just wrote was exactly what I mouthed to myself before getting to your post!!

Bingo!

[Tennessee Gal]

9. Car elevators are probably quite expensive.

And don't forget the horse!

[Loki]

4. Are the Costco shirts

like magic underwear? Clueless, just clueless.

[Quantess]

6. I wonder what the billionaire campaign donors think of this COSTCO shopping jaunt?

I have no idea, I am just wondering.

[chelsea0011]

7. 3 pack shirts? I haven't seen those at Costco. Maybe the Queen could

tell us which one she shops at.

[Ninga]

11. That is almost exactly what I said! I haven't seen a three pack of any other kind of shirt other

than undershirt.....ever.

[GodlessBiker]

27. Agreed. Maybe he's talking about undershirts.

I've never seen any other kind of shirt in packages of three at Costco.

[Tom Ripley]

39. Can't be undershirts; he only buys those from the Deseret catalog

[dipsydoodle]

8. Maybe she meant a packet of three.

[Ikonoklast]

10. "I can still smell the scent of peasant on them!"

"Aaaaah, fresh peasant!"

[Berlum]

12. Telling

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. I was stunned that she knew the name of Costco's brand

she must have been well prepared by her handlers.

[Terra Alta]

14. trying to relate to the average American

but it isn't going to work.. after all, how many average Americans have elevators for their cars, and a horse that competed in the Olympics?

[monmouth]

15. Isn't the CEO of Costco an Obama supporter? I'm pretty sure..LOL...n/t

[Inuca]

18. Yes, and

AFAIK he is scheduled to speak at the convention next week.

[yellowcanine]

16. I thought from the David Brooks piece that Mitt only wore Arrow shirts.

Was I wrong????

[tanyev]

17. Like someone who went shopping at a local market while vacationing in a 3rd world country.

[Vinca]

19. Do they sell Ann's $900 blouses at Costco?

This would be like me wandering into a shop she frequents, buying a $50 shoestring and saying I love shopping at the Richbitch Emporium.

[Paladin]

20. Beyond Pathetic. (nt)”

[hombre]

21. Show Their COSTCO membership card

It is easy to verify if these two "idiots" really did shop at COSTCO's for shirts, or any other items. All they have to do is summit their COSTCO membership card. But, that will not happen as they will have the same excuse as their taxes.

[Initech]

45. I really question the legitimacy of Romney's Costco membership.

Is it valid or was it purchased in Kenya? Is that his real picture on the back of the card or is it photoshopped? And further more - were his receipts signed by Romney himself? Come on - I'm a Costco-er, I want answers people!!!

[Major Hogwash]

22. "We all are just po' folk, like y'all are, me and Lil' Abner here."

"And owning a quarter of a million dollar horse and entering it into the Summer Olympics is something else y'all po' folks do, too, huh?"

"Does anyone of y'all own 2 Cadillacs and think that is not normal?"

"Lil' Mitt told me a joke last night. He said 'if you have so many cars that you have to own a car elevator to bring them up from the lower sub levels in the garage at your mansion, then you might be a redneck.' Don't y'all think that is so dog-goned funny?"

[deutsey]

23. Perhaps she can pick him up a bag of Purina Poor People Chow too

in case it's needed

[mulsh]

24. no mention of the snack bar's excellent hot dogs & pizza?

I don't need to see their membership card.

[Javaman]

25. 1) I buy some of my shirts at Costco

2) unless you are getting white t's or socks, they do not come in "3 packs".

3) they are lying.

4) all they do is lie.

[wilt the stilt]

26. To all the posters that doubt 3 pack of shirts

you are right. I am a member as you are. There are no 3 packs of dress shirts. complete bullshit and nice try Ann. I don't think you have ever stepped into a Costco. Tell us Costco members about the store layout. That will tell us if you have ever shopped there.

[HipChick]

28. It doesn't matter if it is a lie, there are folks stupid enough out there to believe it

[99Forever]

29. So the new campaign strategy is to insult our intelligence, Mittwitt?

You actually think anyone brought your condescending bullshit?

Go fuck yourself and take your arrogant waste of oxygen, wife with you.


3 pack of shirts from Costco, my ass.


Our Costco Mbr# is 11179520****. What's yours?

[LynneSin]

30. I suspect this guy here has no complaints........

[nc4bo]

31. David Letterman monologue last night: Ann & Mitt Romney Lies!

From his "Mitch" monologue last night. I found it very entertaining. The rotisserie starts turning good around the 4:00 mark.



http://www.cbs.com/video/show-redirect/?pid=3Ha2aFJGpFBf

[Amerigo Vespucci]

34. Like they say, brevity is the soul of wit

Perfect piece. The buzzer was all they needed.

[nc4bo]

38. MSNBC just interviewed Mr. Noun, Verb 9 11 and he was whining about Letterman's buzzer + LIE

monologue. Any one who caught Letterman last night had to know exactly what The Ghoul was referring to.

Ghoulie never mentioned Letterman's show either

Yay Dave - they watched you too and I it stung!

[spanone]

32. 'dances with roves' doesn't hear 'ring of truth' bwahahahahahaaa

[Amerigo Vespucci]

36. Yep...must have really pained him to say that.

[NightWatcher]

33. I just saw that. You wanna talk about contrived, BS. Mitt's never been inside a Costco

They dont have parking for Rolls Royces at the Costco...

[Not Me]

35. Just out of curiousity...

in what country are Kirkland dress shirts made?

[ashling]

37. "They are

just the right height

[eShirl]

40. If they really want to impress me, they can

dress from the Salvation Army Store and live on ramen, right up until election night.

I'll be mildly impressed, but I still won't vote Republican.

[Initech]

41. Some of his best friends are Costco owners.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

42. He enjoys shopping for "shirt" as much as he enjoys "sport."

[Initech]

46. What's this wheeled device called again?

"A cart, sir."

[sammytko]

43. so, if he's weraing them ALL the time NOW, must mean its the first time she's ever bought

them or stepped foot in Costco - if she ever did.

[PatSeg]

44. The body language

and the facial expressions screamed "LIE! LIE! LIE!" Note to Romney advisers, don't encourage your candidate to lie to look all folksy and ordinary.

They should really know their candidate better than that - Ann and Mitt just can't pull it off.

[slackmaster]

47. Costco in my area doesn't sell 3-packs of men's dress shirts

They're sold individually, just under $20 each, and they are pretty good for the price.
