Only Ann’s.
What difference does it make? The bigger the prick the more the U.S. public is told that’s “what they really want”. That don’t say “Ugly American” for nothing. Most Americans think of themselves as good natured, friendly, fun loving and compassionate when in fact they are primarily a brutish, ill tempered, ill mannered people and violent lot.
So, he went to preparatory school, and then hew anted to be a hairstylist?
Also, Mitt Scissorhands!
Brilliant!
Now do Jamie Dimon!
Several thoughts:
The man has no soul.
Romney is a thug and a bully. Cutting someone’s hair against their will is one of the most hostile assaults short of rape.
Romney is a perpetual liar. Note that all the rest of the folks involved remember it all. For this pissant to claim he doesn’t remember is disgusting.
The “Ugly American” from the book of the same, was a warm-hearted, practical farmer type who, with his wife helped natives in a fictional Asian country with wells, etc. He was ugly, but the best character in the novel. But I agree with your characterization of Americans. On the whole, we’re stupid and superstitous, too.
Privileged, sanctimonious asshole runs for president.
And Romney too.
What a choice in November.
“Ugly” referred to the American penchant for hubris and a fatal misreading of other cultures and societies.
56 million “elected” GWB and as a British tabloid asked in 2004, “how can 56 million people be so stupid.”
What kind of person can do such a thing and then not remember doing it?
Americans prefer their Presidents to be either complete idiots or silver tongued hucksters.
Mitt is a silver tongued idiot.
It’s an extraordinary story of cruelty. It’s a peak inside Romney’s soul.
The country would be better off with the idiot than the huckster.
It is unacceptable to have a presidential candidate who has done something like this. He also taunted a legally blind teacher at his prep school. His heart is empty.
It’s not a peak into Romney’s soul but rather a mirror in which much of the American public is reflected.
Most Americans don’t bother with the “heart.” Their primary concern is the wallet.
That’s not an “empty” heart but a black heart.
And those are the strong points.
He doesn’t remember this particular incident, ’cause there were so many more …
Senator !
… then millions of Brits voted Tony Blair into office once again …
And thus Obama’s announcement yesterday, who in their right mind doesn’t think the president was not tipped off about this story coming out today?

This explains why Rover fell in love with Meth Romney …
You know you can meet an “average” American and find things that are admirable and evocative on a superficial level of what one would expect of a “humnan being” but the collective zeitgeist of the U.S. of A. is that of a fearful, ill considered, superstitious, self-absorbed and selfish society.
The problem with modern day Britain is they take their cues from the U.S..
Give it a break, BT2.
Maybe Willard will double down on mean and pick Ted Nugent as his running mate.
O.K. but here’s what you’re up against.

Ted would have to
submit toget a haircut first.Mitt “I’m not a baseball glove, dammit!” Romney sounding like Eddie Haskell (Leave it to Beaver):
“Gee, Mrs. Cleaver, do I look like the sort of young man that would do that to the Beav? For Pete’s sake I’m gonna run for president some day! Please don’t cry, Mrs. Cleaver, his hair will grow back.”
At least George Washington remembered chopping down the cherry tree. Of course, that was before he smoked dope for toothaches.
@KagroX
Thank you.
Hey Senator ☺ ☺ Front paged again!!!!
Recommended … Of COURSE!!
Empty-hearted, empty-souled. That’s what comes across from the mittster, repeatedly, over and over. Entitled, bereft of understanding and empathy, compassion for those not like himself. Bush blew up frogs, Romney bullied guys he thought were gay by forcibly cutting their hair. At least it didn’t end in death, Isuppose there’s a bright side…

Good one, Mary. Recc’d.

Not to mention a power-washing, spleen replacement, and a course of electroshock treatments.
Protecting one’s self from the tyranny of the majority, in America, has always been a 2nd full-time job. Now it appears the workload will increase, yet again. With the election of our first mixed-raced POTUS we have seen the decline of the living standards and rights of the minorities. One can only imagine the nightmare, a severe tornado perhaps, on the horizon for the middle class and non-religious when Mittster the Pitbully unleashes his hounds on us all. I’m getting a really good taser and advise same to all.
This incident reminds me of the old homophobic joke about gay crime amounting to a gang of gay guys tackling a straight man, holding him down and doing his hair. Are we sure Mitt doesn’t have something he, er, needs to tell us?
twue. twue.
Mitt was off the isle of human dignity at the 13 percent tax bill. Now the satisfaction comes from knowing all his supporters will be choking on their own hate filled bile every time they vote or talk him up.
I agree. This was an assault. What a hateful bully thing to do.
MightyMitt didn’t run for re-election in Mass. because he would have lost. Personalities are comprised of an “enduring” set of charateristics. …..H Stack Sullivan. MightyMitt’s still a SOB. Of course that doesn’t mean he can’t be electced, because as Bob Dylan sang, “We’re idiots.”
