Papantonio: Romney Pities Himself For Being White

[GoLeft TV]

Nobody plays the pity card better than Mitt Romney. He recently told a crowd of supporters that his life would have been a lot easier if he were Latino, because then he could get all sorts of government handouts. I guess for Mitt, being worth a quarter of a billion dollars, being white, being born into a life of privilege just isn‚t enough. Mike Papantonio talks about Mitt‚s sympathy card, and why it shows his complete disdain for all non-white Americans with Adele Stan, Washington correspondent for Alternet.

1. I feel his pain. I've been white all my life and no baseball

team has ever offered me a multi-million dollar contract.
I've never played baseball, but still ????

2. There is a Latina comedienne who did a great YouTube video

making fun of RMoney. She said, "oh yeah, we have so many Latino presidents, Jorge Washington, Jorge Bush, Jorge W. Bush." She went on and smacked RMoney down hard about the "obvious preferential treatment" of Latinos. She was funny and brutal. I don't know her name, though.

3. MITT'S BEEN UP SO LONG, IT LOOKS LIKE DOWN TO HIM!

The more I hear from Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the more they remind me of the words to that old country song, only in reverse!

6. "You know"?

Ye gods! When I listen to this all I can hear is 'you know' over and OVER again. I understand that it is the latest expression of what used to be 'Um., Uh' but they were never acceptable verbal ploys either. It would be very helpful if Stan (especially) thought through what she wanted to say and then said it. Papantonio is guilty, too, just not AS guilty. You know?
