What happens when you put Mitt Romney's words in Lucille Bluth's mouth?
Pitch fucking perfect.

I misread this as Lucille Ball and was disappointed. Still, pretty funny.

The answer, I have found, is that a lot of people have to read a couple pages before they realize those aren't actual Lucille quotes. Because of how absolutely perfect they fit.
I mean, it's one banana, Barack. What could it cost, ten dollars?

I've been thinking lately- I really want to see Mitt Romney photoshopped in a raccoon coat and straw boater. In my mind he is now pretty much inseparable from a rich 1920s buffoon of some sort.

If passing a sixth grade general science test was a requirement for holding the office of president, neither Bush, Palin or Romney would qualify.

Mitt Romney should really take some classes or something so he can learn to do a method acting as a character who doesn't have so much money he can't help but own a fucking horse that dances.

Wait wait, new contender for Best Evar.
And now her voice is in my head anytime I read something Romney says. It's like a judo-flip Farnsworth Effect. Good news, everyone! I've managed to lower my tax rate into the imaginary numbers!

I would give Mitt a pass on the airplane window thing. His wife had a close call on a plane, which filled with smoke, and it could have turned out a lot worse.
This time (and only this time) I feel like he was just talking from a place of worry and upset about what Ann when through.
No really.

I have never watched Arrested Development (I know, I know), but I have watched Archer, and they all work pretty well if I imagine her as the live-action Mallory Archer.

If youwonder if you're have enough introspection about emotions to play a psychopath, you're not a psychopath.
