But the moron doesn't seem to know what a donut is. This asshat is reminding me more and more of Mr. Burns every day.

"Have the Rolling Stones killed!"
"But sir!"
"Do as I say!"

Invented by a 16 year old on a ship. One story said the hole was to help keep up with them on ships during strong waves.

Who knows it may have been the first time he has ever seen one.

Well the Republicans did away with French Fries, of I guess Donuts are out.

Get ready for Krispy Kreme Goodies and Duncan Goodies.

whos fugging idea was that? Like mittens has a clue.

where do these people come from? who actually believe a multi millionaire mofo actually gives a shit about

their crummy little donut shop/resturant, unless he's thinking of how to grab it, take the cash register, kick them

to the curb and take their daughter as another wife.

He is very used to talking to staff apparently. And the "our ride" jargon reminds me of his awkward "who let the dogs out" moment.

Maybe we can get Garrett to tell Romney to address him as "Smithers." Romney won't have a clue who or what that is either and it will be a great prank.
