Real Americans love this stuff:
Mitt Romney’s campaign asked a production company with an unfortunate name to cover up its logo while handling a Romney event in Grand Junction, Colo., according to the local press.
The company, Snob Productions, has handled lighting and sound for various political candidates, including President Obama in 2008. But Romney’s campaign was apparently concerned the name would feed into Democratic attacks on the candidate’s wealth in an embarrassing way, according to the Daily Sentinel.

I can only have a beer with someone who drinks beer. I read that Utah leads the nation in Jello consumption. Not per capita Jello consumption, mind you, but in actual Jello consumption. I’m not a big fan of Jello or of Mitt Romney.

I’d work in a Santorum joke but it all seems so unnecesssary. Willard’s campaign is a failboat in search of a bigger iceberg.

Mitt Romney’s secret black friends, at an undisclosed location at the offices of one of his secret offshore bank accounts, while going over copies of his secret, unreleased tax returns.

This means that Filthy Rich Brownies, Cakes and Desserts Co, LLC isn’t going to be providing catering at the convention in Tampa, doesn’t it?

Wow, these low-level operatives must be poors ’cause teh Economic Winners don’t give a shit about such appearances. Firing them will be satisfying, indeed!

Congratulations to the Romney campaign! At long last you’ve woken up to the idea that nobody cares for Thurston Howell III in the middle of hard times!

@trollhattan:
Unfortunately it’s also a failboat that’s polling somewhere between 42 and 47 percent at any given time.

The fun thing is that if the Romney campaign hadn’t done anything, nobody would have noticed or cared; after all, it’s just some random production company who they happened to hire. Now, of course, there’s a news story about how the Romney campaign is worried about being associated with the snob image.
Well played, lads.

It’s funny to think they’d worry about people finding that logo and going “AHA! I *KNEW* IT!” as though a snob would carry around stuff that had “Snob” painted right on it (and nobody would know for sure they were a snob until they found it.)
It somehow reminds me of those teabaggers who ransacked a classroom where they’d met because they remembered hearing teachers were commies and they were looking for proof.

2 to 1, the only mustard the Romney camp has in their fridge is Grey Poupon.

One is a jiggly mass you can’t pin down, the other is lime flavoured?
One takes whatever shape you want to mould it in and the other one is made out horse hooves?

I’d have a beer with Mitt, only in the pretext of getting in a bar fight with him.

The Romney campaign is like Sideshow Bob, repeatedly stepping on the rake.

I think the problem is also the curvy dame in the logo… not exactly chaste and modest as a proper Mormon woman should be.

@The prophet Nostradumbass: We need a graphic of Mittens making his displeased faced with the Sideshow Bob guttural growl.

@ThatLeftTurnInABQ: Good thing I’d put my coffee down before I read that comment! All I can think of for a Mitt Romney shooter would be 4 ounces of bullsheit over champagne ice cubes in a platinum-plated shot glass.
