Romney reminds me of a little kid dressing up as Zorro for Halloween.
He's a control freak like the refined aristocrat Zorro is by day.

He feeds his Dionysus by night in black clothes on his valiant steed.

And he's fictional.

1. He is fictional...
that is why I tend to
refer to him as Myth Romney.

4. That's a good moniker for him.
He really just seems all pastiche and no heart & mind.

2. He's The CEO Candidate
Mittens is out to win...and it doesn't matter how he does it or what he says. It's not the politics, it's not the philosophy (he has none)...it's the "winning" and the power that comes from it. I've never seen a candidate pander as much as this dude has..."re-inventing" himself to fit whatever crowd or poll demands it...a totally vacuous being.

3. 'Vacuous' is the word.
I've watched a lot of politicians over the years pander to audiences and interest groups, but Willard leads the league.

5. Unctuous is a good
word for Myth too.

6. LOL! It is, yes. Big time!
Myth Romney: as vacuous as he is unctuous.

9. But he has the "look"
He could play a US president on TV, and that is all many people care about.

10. LOL! Ok, he's got the look.
But if you keep staring at his eyes, you'll turn to stone!

11. I believe 'Zorro' means fox. I spent a while today trying to figure out
a fox-in-the-henhouse allegory with Romney as Zorro, but it came to pieces.

Anyway, he still reminds me of a little kid pretending to be Zorro for Halloween.
