I’ll admit: up until today I had a modicum of sympathy for Willard “Mitt” Romney. He went from the debonair moderate, pro-choice, pro-gun control, anti-Reagan Republican Governor from the bluest state in the union to a pandering, principle-less xenophobe that would say anything and do anything to become President. A classically tragic figure. But all the good will and pity I had for Mittens quickly evaporated today after his shameful, divisive and fear-mongering speech at CPAC. Are you really not above equating a Democratic victory with “surrender to The Terrorists“? Geez. I thought Rudy was out already.
The real tragedy is not that the man sold his soul to appeal to the lunatic fringe; it’s that he dropped $35 million of his own cash in the process.
No Trackbacks To “Jon Stewart’s Farewell to Mitt Romney: “F*c# Y%u!”“








glad to see the daily show clips coming back.
The real tragedy is not ONLY that the man sold his soul to appeal to the lunatic fringe; it’s that he ALSO dropped $35 million of his own cash in the process.
The funniest thing is that there are right wing blabbermouths who are mourning his passage as the only “true” conservitive in the race. The far right is so far out of things and has lost so much power because of their blind support of Bush that they have gone insane. It wouldnt supprise me to see these folks commit political suicide in the coming months and truely not support Mc Cain in the genreal election.
I just wish there was a 3rd party jumping into the ring. That would finish the dismantaling of the republican party.
sure is fun to watch!

Here’s another clip too: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....85567.html
“The US could be come the France of the 21st century”
Which shall henceforth be known as ‘RoboFrance 2029′.
F*c# Y%u Mitt. F*c# Y%u and everyone who thinks like you. I’m beginning to hate the F*c#in’ Conservatives.
not to worry thirty five million down the drain , fuck thats chimp change , he,ll make it back selling america to the chinese COMMUNISTS!
Got get him John, that idiotic god fearing asshole Mitt needs to pull his tongue out of
his own ass. Sickening to what extend such religious fanantics will go. However, maybe
it is true that man/woman and the dinasours co-existed together only 6,000 years ago, for Mitt is like the diansours, NO brains whatsoever,
Oh that clip above is Craig Ferguson talking about Fixed Noise since the url doesn’t all show.
Thank you Jon for saying what we all feel. It makes me sick how these damn repugs keep getting away with this crap. Saying a vote for the dem is a vote for terrorism. Of course our “liberal” media never call them on it. Jon Stewarts response of F*ck you is the only appropiate response to this line of crap. Next time you hear some right-winger say dems support terrorism, tell them what they can go do with themselves.
Kind of sounds like McCain….. will do anything to become elected…. will say anything…. will snuggle up to anyone ….. ya that is a maverick for ya…
tyree @ 6:
LOL! Yeah. I love how everything is bad unless a reslug does it. Then it’s for the good of the nation.
35 million dollars: money well-wasted.
That’s not a tragedy - it’s poetic justice.
Now he can go back to his nine wives!
i’m notsure you know what the word “tragedy’ means
a self absorbed ego mittniac throwing money away is not a tragedy by any defination!
And the only difference between Mittens and McCain is that 35 million wad Mittens personally blew… Otherwise, all other things being equal, they have both sold their souls for a chance at power and ego fulfillment… If they Both crash and burn in the end, we can at least probably consider this Mr. Nam vets last shot at the big enchilada. I doubt if MCain can get it up again in four years.. He goes down this time, (as I hope he does), he’s dun… Mittens? Fuck, who knows what that creep would do.. Anyone who would strap a dog to the roof of a car, doghouse or not, for a roadtrip, is about likely to try anything… JD
Mitt’s got his weedwacker and no illegals to work for him [we think] so now we know what he’ll be doing in retirement. Keep your hands clean–wear your mittens Mitt.
Those Republicans deserve ALL they’ve sown. McCain as their nominee, and how they feel about him, the unreasonable so-called ‘conservative’ ones, well, it couldn’t be more deserving that they get someone they don’t like at all. Hey, at least Man Coulter is being ‘honest’ and saying she’ll vote for Hillary before McCain. Hillary would still enable Coulter to make a living but McCain would shut her and drug-abuser Limbaugh up for good. What a dilemma for some Republicans. Too damn bad, and I’m delighted.
Cardboard Mitt spent over $90 million on his failed campaign…in other news disabled war vets to get $300 in stimulus package…
Any QuickTime link for this one possible? Right now all links are *.wmv.
Thanks.
What a pathetic speech by Mitt.
Weird that someone above would claim that Romney’s speech was evidence that he would say anything to get elected when the speech was about his dropping out of the election. I think it was just coded hate-speech for the sake of hate itself. To sum up, he hates the French, hates Muslims, and much as he claims to love America, hates Americans. Good riddance.
Sometimes screaming fuck you at these people is the only answer. Well don Jon.
breakspear @ 12:
Talk about a bad case of buyers remorse.
Terrust,fear,scare tatics, increase the alert to red in color, etc…this is ALL that
the Repug candidates can talk about; not even realizing that the economy and
health care(and other important domestic & foreign issues) are what matters to
the voters. They are all sooooo childish and “full of it”. Go sit yourselves in a
dark corner of your basement w/your masking tape, plastic and be afraid, very
afraid, for you Repugs are going down the toilet along w/the other shit you spew
come Nov.
“I’m the Mitt of Earl and you can be my Mittus…” With an apology to the late, great Frank Zappa.
Bitter much, Mitt? Judging from that unhinged tirade it must have really hurt getting his ass handed to him by the voters.
Heh-heh. Nothing like watching a grown man flush money down the toilet and then throw himself in after it.
i think mitt’s magick undies are bunched up in the crouch region, making him fussy.
awww, wittle guy, who needs a nappy mitty?
The mor(m)on biz wiz’s gotta go back to work. Lotta $$ to be made handing out pink slips to mergered workers. In the real world mitwit would be a struggling used car salesman, but here in the American Matrix anything is possible.
When will the the lunatic fringe be exposed for the anti-democratic authoritarians that they are? When will people wake up and see that the Republican Party is a far greater threat to the United States than any cave dwelling terrorist? When will the media be exposed as an adjunct to the Republican Party? When will the Republican Party go the way of the Know Nothing Party? When will Republican traitors be held accountable for the crimes? When will Republican traitors be offered a blindfold and a cigarette?
Jon is so good!
Just watched.
The man sent his son’s on a RV mission to protect America and bragged and still had supporters. How could anyone not be sickened by that. Don’t you folks forget to make sure he can never rise up again. He’s as bad or worse as W.
Stewart summed it up perfectly. Mitt Romney…”F-ck You!” I also liked the part about Romney’s speech coming from a conservative mad-lib book. Do those narcissistic blow-hards know how incredibly lame they are?
No, the real tragedy was that mitt didnt spend all his money he gained thru raping American labor.
Has anyone located the Rosetta Stone that will translate why Romney, who danced with the liberals to get elected governor of Mass., and has flip-flopped on just about every issue since, is a “true” conservative, and McCain, who’s been consistent on most major conservative issues, is not?
The only thing I can come up with, seriously, is that the GOP base values a person’s ability to betray conservative principles whenever they get in the way, over someone who demonstrates ethical consistency.
But even McCain has done the same, so I’m back where I started, in need of that elusive Rosetta stone.
It’s funny I haven’t seen anyone else comment that Mitt seemed to get all choked up during the speech, starting at around 1:36. Am I the only one who perceived this? Maybe he’s so good at faking that he can do it, but he really does sound emotional, which I’ve absolutely never heard him sound before.
Does this mean that his sons, who had been supporting America’s fight against the terrorists by campaigning for their father, will now 1. join the armed service and volunteer to fight in Iraq, or 2. find some other way to fight terrorism 10,000 miles away from the battlefront?
My bet is on 2.
conservative ad-lib book! hahaha. Mitt, the BIGGEST loser.
Well, now that Mitter’s boys have some time on their hands, perhaps its time to enlist so we don’t have to surrender to terrorism.
This man was about to install a theocracy…
I laugh at this goofball losing $35 million.
And I’m happy to not have to look at this stinking face anymore.
Now just go away, you filthy, slimy, lying republican.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long, long time!
Why couldn’t he just say: “Hey, I lost…..I’m out….” I mean for 35 million bucks he’s got to lick conservative ass again with a lame swat at the Democrats?
When he runs again in 2012, this clip should be shown again and again…..
You would think we wouldn’t need these economic boost checks here in the US after Mittens spent that much money.
Gotugye @ 31:
Answered in order of the asking:
They’ve been exposing themselves for as long as we’ve walked upright.
All the time, mostly depending on the time zone they’re in, although the advent of gas and then electric lighting has bent our natural adherence to nature’s day/night cycle a great deal.
They’ve also been exposing themselves for quite awhile now. Many with modest intellects have turned their heads and refused to look, however.
Soon, I hope.
I don’t know what good the blindfold is going to do; they’ll know you’re trying to get them to smoke as soon as you light the thing. Besides, you’re gonna need a lot more than one to kill them. Why don’t we just line them up and shoot them?
scott @ 5:
You’re just beginning to hate ‘em?
I dunno. I think I’d vote for “New Coke” as the funniest line (no pun intended) — other than “F*c# Y%u!,” of course.
Mitt Romney is a brilliant businessman. Every penny he put into his election campaign gets reimbursed by the govt. Federal Election Matching Funds allow Romney to pocket the money tax free and laugh all the way bank.
You know, for a guy who despises the right’s simple-minded, short-sighted name called, I gotta confess, that “F*ck you!” felt pretty good on a visceral level. I’ve always loved being called weak on terror by Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, Ingraham, and Savage when I have as much actual military combat experience as all of them combined, which is NONE, just because I disagree with their military strategy after Hussein’s fall. Osama Bin Laden once described his strategy in a T.V. interview to break U.S. power by drawing it into a prolonged overseas war. And thanks to staggering incompetence, the neocons walked into the trap with the richest, most powerful war machine in the history of the world against a few thousand fighters armed with rifles, camels, IEDs and a little ingenuity; and suffered the defeat of (in the words of our own generals, not me) a “broken” military, and a trillion-dollar devastation of the economy.
The conservatives are not “stronger” than me. The conservatives are not braver than me. The conservatives do not understand the danger better than me. The conservatives do not love this country more than me. And shame on the Democrats for not standing up to their adolescent bullying.
Someone on Thom Hartmann pointed out yesterday that Republicans are prone to revisiting their last runner-up when picking nominees. If you think about it, Romney had done everything exactly as he should to guarantee the nomination for himself in 2012. He knew, going in, that he never intended to run in 2008. Besides, who else but a madman or an earnest Democrat would want to come in and clean up after Bush the Lesser?
I think that what conservatives saw in Mitt was their ability to shape his agenda. We all know that he conformed to whatever his constituency wanted. I’m from MA, so I remember. People saw his pandering skills as a plus as far as their ability to manipulate him
Eat SHIT MITT! It’s only fair. You’ve been feeding us shit since you entered this fuck race.
Thank you, C&L for my Jon Stewart fix.
Now, could you do something about the Al Franken Senate race? How’s he doing?
Stewart sound’s like an adolescent and it’s about as unfunny as his stand up.
Keep trying John.
