Mitt Romney is using "intern" when he talks about Hillary Clinton.

Shame on Mitt Romney for comparing Hillary Clinton to, of all things, "an intern."
Yes, an intern. Here's the full quote, from an interview with Sean Hannity. Said Romney of the woman who beats him in every poll: "The government of the United States is not a place for a president to be an intern. You need to have experience actually leading and running things."

"Intern"? Hmmmm.... now, why does Mitt want us to associate "intern" with Clinton?
What a freaking scumbag Mitt Romney is.

2. Willard is such a douchebag.
I bet that won't stop some on here from using "intern" to describe HRC, thnough.

3. Sean Hannity and Mitt Romney.
Boy, there's an interview I would go a long, long way to avoid!

4. He is but also I think he could be the most formidable on the GOP side
Because he has the Reagan type aura that he tries and use, yes it is phoney but a lot of people can fall for it. He is charismatic and says the right things. I think he would be the best shot for the republicans but doubt he can get nominated.

8. I disagree. I am rooting for Mitt
1. Any Dem will destroy him in his own homestate. A large majority of those who know him best won't vote for him, and voters from other states will notice that.
2. Right or wrong, his religion will cost him votes.
3. There is no bigger flip flopper in the race. Come on, the guy said he was more liberal than Kennedy at one point.
4. He is buying his way to the nomination, and has very little real support. Hence, he has big leads in IA and NH, but comes in @4th nationally. He has very few donors, as he himself is by far his biggest donor.

I think he has a good shot at the nomination, but a bad shot in the general election.

14. Be careful what you wish for.
People said the same thing about wanting Reagan as the GOP nominee.

The rest, as they say, is history.

5. We probably should not put a shitty, carpet-bagging governor in charge, either.
Seven years in the Senate trumps four years fucking-up Massachusetts.

6. How low can he go?
With this and the Obama/Osama thing, among others, I have a feeling he'll continue to go lower.

9. Oh, I suspect we'll see new lows for 2008 ...
I think this will be the slimiest election (so far) in my lifetime (I am in my 40s).

We are dealing with people with seriously deep pockets and no ethics, who will do everything they can to win. They already know that they cannot win on their own party platform and have no choice but to lie and attack (unless the Democrats blow it on their own, sadly a possibility, IMO).

Put on your boots and cover your children's ears, folks. This is going to make the seething, anger-ridden, money-fueled attack and eventual impeachment of Bill Clinton look tame.

7. You need to have experience actually leading and running things...
and strapping a terrified animal to the top of a car for a long trip. Never know when an experience like that is going to come in handy.

12. Mittens loves using word associations to damage Dems--too bad it's so embarrassingly obvious.

13. Every comment about Romney should include the word "dog" in some
context to constantly remind people of his animal abuse history. As in, "He's just tying that dog to the wrong roof" or something similar.

Let's see if Shit can take it as well as dish it out. But, we already know the answer.

That's beyond playing dirty (no pun intended)...

16. How old is Mittens? Five?
But if he wants to talk about WH interns, let's talk about Jimmy-Jeff Gannon and his off-the-record overnight stays before he was exposed as a fraud.
