Romney believes he could have said it more elegantly

[DearAbby]

I believe he was extremely coherent, articulate. What? Need to sugar coat it. Dumb down the message? We GET THE MESSAGE, Republicans.

We reject the message.

NO

1. "Fuck you 47% dahlings"

2. What a snob.

If I wasn't so lazy, and shiftless, I would go look up the Youtube url of Santorum saying that....But...::shifts back into my chair::

3. in fairness to mitt...

when he first said it in a boca raton mansion surrounded by lots of Marc Leder's hedonistic richie-rich pals it sounded kind of elegant
it wasn't until they blurred out all the expensive decor that it lost some of its shine

4. 'no one was meant to hear those remarks"

except for the 1%

5. "more elegantly" = with his pinkie up in the air?

6. He's used that excuse before.

When asked to comment on Rush Junkie's remarks about Sandra Fluke, he said something like, "I wouldn't have used those words."

I believe he said something similar about another wingnut's outrageous statements, but I can't recall the circumstances. Perhaps when a woman listening to him speak called Obama a "monster"?

He seems to have a couple of large problems: he doesn't think words have meaning, and he can't (won't?) stand up to egregiously vile remarks.

7. I daresay

these riff-raff are awfully droll. Why, yesterday I was out driving in the Rolls and I saw a man whose sartorial style, shall I say, left a lot to be desired. I threw the remainder of my bottle of Pellegrini at him and told him that if he wanted to be seen among the smart set he needed to develop a stronger work ethic and find a better tailor. Then he arrested me for assaulting a police officer.
