Unleash ...

The Mittster!

GREEN BAY, Wis.—Mitt Romney has long been criticized for being awkward on the stump, but his wife, Ann, defended her husband in a radio interview today, rejecting a host's statement that Romney is "too stiff" on the campaign trail.

Per ABC News' Emily Friedman, Ann Romney told Baltimore WBAL radio that she's working to show another side of her husband. Asked about criticism that Romney is "too stiff," Ann Romney laughed and replied, "I guess we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out because he is not!"

Honey, I coulda told you he was a limp dick years ago.

That comment is funny because she made it innocently without a dirty mind like our inner nine-year-olds have. Heh.

Martin Bashir asked Karen Finney about it yesterday (as only his Limey self can) and it was obvious she has an inner nine year old too. Heh ...

If you jump through to Emily Friedman's blog post about this, you'll find lots of comments, half of them making hilarious jokes about it and the other half trying to seriously explain what Ann Romney really meant. No wonder our country is in so much trouble - half the people don't have a sense of humor.

And let's remember Laura Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2005 (you learn that she or her speechwriter are actually very funny when you read the transcript):

Cedric, am I doing all right?

I saw my in-laws down at the ranch over Easter. We like it down there. George didn't know much about ranches when we bought the place. Andover and Yale don't have a real strong ranching program. But I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse.

Now, of course, he spends his days clearing brush, cutting trails, taking down trees, or, as the girls call it, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. George's answer to any problem at the ranch is to cut it down with a chainsaw — which I think is why he and Cheney and Rumsfeld get along so well.
