Poor Mitt,


In the midst of a campaign to elect more republican's to the state legislature, Romney is taking time out to host a one million dollar fund-raiser for his patron President George Bush Jr.
That is another million dollars squeezed out of the fast withering local GOP money base and sent off pell mell to parts unknown to buy adverts in states far far away.
The Kolobian Viceroy will make the best of the situation never fear, trying out his latest and lamest zingers on John Kerry and otherwise comporting himself in a disgustingly servile fashion.
La Famiglia Arbusto demands nothing less of it's gubernatorial thralls and vassals.
The problem with Mitt is, he won in 2002 and this has given the Man from Kolob an inflated and delusional belief in his own skills as a political strategist.
How can he not believe in his own omnipotence?
What with toadies like Scot Lehigh praising him every day and in every way.
It is enough even to turn a Bishop's head.
Mitt really thinks he has to get on the good side of the Bush machine in order to clear the decks for his own presidential run in 2008 or 2012.
On the surface, Mitt has a lot going for him as a presidential prospect, he is decorously condescending, has a full head of hair and record of inertia to put the Statue of Liberty to shame.
What is not to like ?
Moreover, fanatical GOP activist Grover Norquist is predicting the demise of the two party system within the next eight years. This means that a well positioned conservative candidate need only sweep the N.H. primary in order to carry the day.
And a republican governor of Massachusetts is well positioned to do all this...very well positioned indeed.
Alas it will all blow up in Mitt's face...it truly will.
Count on it.
When the time comes to jump into the race, Mitt will find himself under relentless bitter attack from his former patrons.
Willard will be down on his knees screaming for mercy before the first vote is cast in Franconia Notch-he can't hold up under that kind of attack.
After all Florida Governor Jeb Bush hasn't had his turn as President...and after him there is Marvin, Neil and young Noelle Bush to be considered.
No room for a bootlicking Governor of Massachusetts in that line up no matter how impeccable his movement conservative bona fides may be.
Count on it, come 2008 or 2012, the Bush Clan will do to presidential candidate Mitt Romney what they did to John McCain.
Mitt's past services to the President will mean nothing, the overseership of Plantation U.S.A. is at stake and nothing will prevent La Famiglia Arbusto from retaining it's hold on the old homestead at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Least of grinning phony jerk off from Belmont Mass.
The damn fool really thinks that he is piling up useful political I.O.U.'s for his own race...they will be as valuable as Enron stock when the time comes.
If Willard had a lick of sense he'd cancel this fund-raiser, pull in his horns nationally, cut GWB dead and hope like hell that Kerry wins in November.
With the Bush's gone to smash for a second time in ten years, Romney can credibly claim that the time has come for new leadership from a new family of telegenic overseers.
Kerry quite frankly is Mitt's only hope to get anywhere NEAR the White House come 2008.
