On the Allred "surprise" - just a guess here but -- hookers and the Salt Lake Olympics

[underpants]

THAT was the main reason they called Romney in, to clear up their image when it became clear that the Salt Lake Olympics team bribed the IOC with hookers.

Just a guess but the only other thing I can think of is one of the sons did something they weren't supposed to OR Baine Capital was a bastion of HE-MAN Movers and Shakers with a hooker or cocaine appetite.

[Cirque du So-What]

1. I hope it's something more evocative than that

Especially when it comes to repugs, stories about prostitutes or drugs barely elicit a 'meh' anymore.

[berni_mccoy]

2. My bet is Romney had an affair. You heard it here first.

[JanMichael]

4. I hope so; but I am really hoping

for a sister wife. I would have to call the ambulance to help me quit laughing.

[berni_mccoy]

25. More likely this:

34. You got me laughing already.

[hedgehog]

35. +1

[begin_within]

42. Tax returns would be a lot more interesting to me than some stupid affair.

[justiceischeap]

3. Just want to say, Drudge is the one starting the rumors

Allred herself has said absolutely nothing on this.

[DonViejo]

5. Why do you believe Matt Drudge?

Allred has not confirmed or denied the rumor Drudge started. The right wing is in hysterics about it and apparently a few Dems are also. Remember when Drudge announced, "It's Rice!" Meaning former SoS Rice was going to be Myth's running mate.

[Firebirds01]

6. I heard it was

he said a lady in his church was forbidden to have an abortion even though the pregnancy was life threatening. It was mentioned as the surprise in an article about Allreds plan.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. You mean the story about actress Eliza Dushku's mom?

http://jezebel.com/5851050/the-curious-case-of-mitt-romney-an-abortion-and-eliza-dushkus-mom

[Firebirds01]

10. Yes that was it.

The article I read said Allred may try to get this story back into the national spotlight.

[Freddie]

31. In Repug world that's not a scandal

A woman with a life-threatening pregnancy deserves to die. Ask Joe Walsh.

[Stargleamer]

8. My bet--undocumented workers on staff n/t

[pnwmom]

9. I think this is a good possibility. n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. But he's running for office, for Pete's sake, he can't have illegals.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

26. My thoughts too! nt

[Sunlei]

15. yes, had to be a huge staff for mansions with acres of land

Where are they all?

[Booster]

12. My guess is the Rmoney's stiffed their hired help. Allred is good at finding that out.

[beac]

37. That gets my vote too.

Illegals and/or not paying employer taxes on domestic help (i.e. paid them under the table.)

Wouldn't it be lovely if it was one of "stay-at-home mom" Queen Anne's nannies or maids who derailed her vile spouse's campain??

[TlalocW]

13. My guess

After a particularly frustrating day of working on the Olympics, Mitt went into a Salt Lake bar and said, "Fuck it... give me a Dr Pepper."

[lib87]

39. Ha!

[bushisanidiot]

14. Scandals involving Romney Olympics leadership are $ giveaways to his friends

And that is no secret. It's all over the Internet. But of course, the msm won't talk about it.

[HopeHoops]

16. I doubt it. Do you REALLY think rMoney could get a hard on? A whole bottle of Viagra wouldn't work.

[reflection]

18. Apparently he can get at least five of them.

[HopeHoops]

19. Or hired someone to "sire" his binder.

[reflection]

21. "sire" his binder

[HopeHoops]

24. Hey, it's full of women. Isn't that the Mormon way?

[12AngryBorneoWildmen]

36. I don't know male repug bigwigs be diggin' the 'in vitro' way. Less messy.

Seriously though, I believe there's a Closet Cabal big time amongst the GOP ranks. W and Pickles (Laura), in vitro, and Las Vegas 3-way(the wrong way) with ex Knoxville mayor and W appointee Amb to Poland. Karl Rove-sham ex-mariage. Mitch McConnell/Elaine Chao-sham. Limbaugh-viagra and Dominican tykes. InVitro and surrogates used by at least two of Mitt's tots. I think Mitt and Ann went 'all glass' on of theirs. Ken Mehlman (out), Scotty McClelland. Dick Cheney-did it once for a deferment. Drudge. ps., Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[mzmolly]

17. I've read that it may involve a maid and Willard?

Though, the source is sketchy - here's the drift...

http://partners.mediatakeout.com/59124/explosive-breaking-news-mitt-romney-s-maid-is-dishing-dirt-and-if-what-she-s-saying-is-true-it-may-be-a-wrap-for-the-campaign.html

October 21, 2012: MediaTakeOut.com just spoke with someone IN THE KNOW . . . and the word is that one of WILLARD'S ex-maids is snitching on him.

And the streets say that she's about to disclose some . . . err . . . INTERACTION she had with that FRAUD Romney.

Now for about 99% of the Republicans, they'd vote for him if he was a member of Al Quaida. But for the INDEPENDENT VOTERS . . . especially WOMEN voters, we doubt they're gonna feel good about putting THAT KIND OF MAN in the White House.

Expect news to drop as early as TOMORROW. And when it does, don't forget that you heard it here first on MediaTakeOut.com

Note - the owner of MediaTakeOut is a former corporate lawyer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Take_Out Perhaps he does know something?

[berni_mccoy]

23. This is the most likely candidate. Mitt is not only a liar but a huge narcissist.

His ego is very easily bruised. Taking solace in the maid fits his character.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

27. Best bet yet! nt

[Freddie]

30. Please please please be true!!!!

Our side needs some mud flung now!

[DCBob]

41. That would be so delicious if true!!

That last line sounds quite confident.

[Iceberg Louie]

20. I'm thinking Paul Ryan and rape...

Ryan will then admit that his dumbbells were really only 20 pounders, and, because he's such a wimp, he was incapable of forcibly raping anyone, thereby relegating the scandal to the "other" category...

[brooklynite]

22. If Mittens was brought in to clean up a scandal, that would only make him look better

[Mz Pip]

28. It won't matter, whatever it is

If people are still voting for Rmoney after the stuff about Bain outsourcing and his 47% remark and his flip flopping on everything from Gay rights, abortion and taxes, and his draft dodging missionary "work" I can't imagine that a few hookers would sway any votes.

[sgtbenobo]

29. Give underpants a cigar!

Park City was rife with special favor doer's. SLC has a very active "Escort" industry. Cheers - SGT B

[renate]

32. welcome to DU!

[Fresh_Start]

33. I'm hoping for institutionalized for mental illness

I can dream...can't I

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

38. Maybe Queen Ann has to keep him on Haldol

Haldol:
Why is this medication prescribed?

Haloperidol is used to treat psychotic disorders (conditions that cause difficulty telling the difference between things or ideas that are real and things or ideas that are not real). Haloperidol is also used to control motor tics (uncontrollable need to repeat certain body movements) and verbal tics (uncontrollable need to repeat sounds or words) in adults and children who have Tourette's disorder (condition characterized by motor or verbal tics). Haloperidol is also used to treat severe behavioral problems such as explosive, aggressive behavior or hyperactivity in children who cannot be treated with psychotherapy or with other medications. Haloperidol is in a group of medications called conventional antipsychotics. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.

Even his son says that Mitt gets nuts without Ann there. (But then it could be something completely nuts like she uses it to prevent him from going off to do what Ted Haggard did to himself with 'the help'. That would be going into the tinfoil hat zone - just a few millimeters)

(I would go nuts from having to spend any length of time with anyone from that family )

There could also be some kind of early onset alzheimer's or some other mental breakdown going on behind closed doors.

While I would never really wish serious illnesses on others, this was a fun exercise into medical fantasy/potential reality

[aletier_v]

40. One of the rumor sites mentions an ex-maid of Romney's

[amborin]

43. Pam?
