This is an instant classic:
BONUS HILARITY:
SALT LAKE CITY—Seeking to limit the fallout from a videotaped speech in which he asserts 47 percent of Americans “pay no taxes” and do not take “personal responsibility and care for their lives,” Mitt Romney hastily called a press conference today to apologize personally to the “150 million starving, filthy beggars [he] might have offended.”
~snip~
“Let me make this absolutely clear: I have the utmost respect for all of the filth-encrusted, lesion-covered degenerates of this nation,” Romney said. “In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting real Americans in their squalid, roach-infested hellholes in every corner of this country. I promise to stand up for every one of you, even the 47 percent of you huddled together for warmth, fighting your own family members for moldy crusts of bread as you wallow in your own excrement.”
You’re welcome.

The comedians are just ripping Romney to shreds on this 47% thing. If he wasn’t such a raging a-hole, I’d almost feel bad for him.

ya gotta hand it to Rmoney, though. I mean, there’s stepping on your dick and there’s stuffing it full hog into the meat grinder, shaping it into a tiny little burger, cooking it up, and feeding it to the dogs. Mitt has done the latter and there really isn’t anyone who could have done a better job of it. Hat’s off to ya G’vnor.

Awesome. I’d thank you at more length but it’s hard to type while laughing.

@David M:
And this marks the end of the White Horse Prophecy…at least as far as Dubya Mittens Rmoney is concerned. He is carbonized toast right now.
When the comedians go at you whole hog, you’re finished.

That was a pretty dead-on impression of the Prez.
…the guy in the chair was pretty solid, too.

I wish to associate myself with the Anger Translators comments, and say that I appreciate the translator’s willingness to help keep our nation by confine himself to such a mild rebuke.

One could argue that the problem is not so much the White Horse prophecy, but the horse’s ass who believes he was meant to fulfill it.

Y’know, that does sound like the Mitt we’ve come to know and love.

@magurakurin: Um, thank you for that mental image, I think.
Also, for those of us who are lingo-istically challenged, “Cray” means … “crazy”?

Oh, I get it, I’m not star quality. ;)

Sorry, but those guys were trying too hard. It wasn’t funny.

I really think Luther must listen in on my conversations to get his material.

hehe, good video.

I am crying over here. OMG. I love Luther’s mock lamentation over poor Mitt’s whiteness.
And the Onion? Seriously, tears.
Thanks ABL!

No.
“Kray” (or “cray”) is from Jay-Z and Kanye’s song “N-Clang in Paris” (sorry, I’m lily white and will not say or spell, in any of it’s variations, the N-word).
It’s in reference to a couple of twin brothers named Kray who were some sort of crime lords in 50s London who were notoriously hard to catch.
