Mitt Romney Loses Coveted Endless Simmer Endorsement
Not that he had much of a chance, but this makes it official. And it has nothing to do with the fact that he may or may not have seven wives, because we would totally vote for Bill Henrickson.
It’s his food knowledge we’re calling into question. Check out this video on Wonkette, in which the great Mormon hope visits the Greenville, South Carolina Chili Cook-off, and makes three unforgivable food faux pas:
1- How hilarious is his over-endorsement of that ice cream? Even for Mr. Optimism, he goes a little overboard there. I have a hard time believing it is really quite that good. He does everything but say “this tastes better than Jesus.”
2- When assaulted by three Hooters girls, Romney passes up a request to endorse their chili. Come on, now - this is an opportunity Bill Clinton never would have missed. Do you know how many Hooters Voters there are in Iowa, Mitt?
3- Finally, Romney is confronted by a giant banana. Mitt’s response: “What are you, a pepper?” What?!? Seriously, who can’t recognize a banana? How does that look like a pepper? Get yourself off the campaign trail and into the kitchen, Mitt. Disgraceful.
Stay tuned for future ES unendorsements. So far, Hillary is in trouble ever since she called us fat, but Fred “grits n’ bacon” Thompson is looking pretty good, assuming he stays off that diet.

from fred in SC:
Gazing across plates with the remnants of grits, sausage, bacon, biscuits and pancakes, Thompson said in his trademark drawl, “mighty good to be back in God’s country.”
“Folks knows what goes into a good breakfast,” the TV actor said.

I was totally cracking up and then I got pisted. You’re telling me that the Jews in NJ/NY can’t produce an equally beautiful b-fast spread of begals, lox, whitefish, cream cheese, red onion, lettuce, tomato….
WTF ?!?!

Clearly, Fred Thompson is an anti-semite

Gonna have to agree with Freddy T here on breakfast.

80P - we’re on non-speaking terms!

Please, American’s don’t know what a good breakfast is. Just wait… You’ll see and taste and adore. And the other good folks who can’t taste, well you’ll be able to read about it. Watch this space!

Five words, Brit: Blood sausage and baked beans.
Any culture that considers these “good breakfast” has no room to criticize.
Any chance Romney thought he was a banana pepper? Maybe he’s a graduate of the John Mayer school of comedy?

Oh that’s right, whenever we bring up the breakfast the only thing you have is a “blood sausage”, I’ll give you that one… But don’t you make fun of the baked beans, they are amazing, esp. mine, I add a few ingredients in there to make them saucy-sexy!

hey stand up for the motherland, Britannia…I for one am down with the blood sausage fo shizzle.
on November 9th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Ah, what can I say… “blood pudding” is gross. I stand up for what I believe in, and that is the UK has some amazing dishes!, they just don’t belong to us!

Good breakfast requirements: Eggs, Pig, Biscuit. Anything else is optional.

I think that’s actually in the USDA handbook

You forgot one key food group, 80 - cheese.
Add that to your three winners and you’ve got a little slice of heaven.

Point taken. But in my mind, I’d put down cheese in the “highly encouraged” category. I could be satisfied without it.
BS- yeah, maybe we should make a breakfast pyramid in the shape of a pig.

what a great idea. there goes my weekend
on November 9th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Cheese - NO!
Pig shaped pyramid, what is wrong with you people.

Mitt Romney doesn’t have a chance at all to win the presidency. If you want to check out a real candidate with real values, check out Hillary Clinton. You won’t be disappointed.

Ummm…did you bother to read the rest of these posts, VFHO? Or any of the others? I’m having a hard time picturing Gansie even thinking of supporting Romney.

Looks like we got ourselves a hillary-bot! endless simmer has really made it now.

[…] the single most coveted endorsement in the world of politics, it should certainly be noted that our November unendorsment of Mitt Romney was quickly followed by a freefall in the one-time frontrunner’s poll number. Coincidence? Or […]

[…] that every single one of the candidates we un-endorsed quickly fell from contention. Remember Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton? Neither do […]
