Romney's new senior campaign adviser just said Romney retired retroactively in 2001 on MTP

1. This just keeps getting better and better.

ROFL

[Brickbat]

2. So he retired before he wasn't retired -- sounds like a flip-flop to me!

[The Magistrate]

28. Perfectly Straightforward, Sir: He Wasn't Retired Before He Was....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

[Tennessee Gal]

3. How does one retire retroactively?

[glinda]

18. creative lying......

[Avalux]

26. Maybe Mitt has a time travel device.....

Back to the Future? And that's why he needs the car elevator in his house???

[Ikonoklast]

32. Mormon Time Machine technology.

They're crazier than Scientologists because they've been doing it longer.

[tridim]

4. Did Mittens really choose Ed as a senior campaign adviser?

Why would ANYONE do that?

[Skidmore]

5. So can I retroactively get rehired?

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. ROFL

[uponit7771]

6. That was surprising, the rMoney campaign is floundering on this issue

[NNN0LHI]

7. They are on the ropes

[uponit7771]

10. Yeap, Kyle is blaming Obama for what Bain did in 2001

[NNN0LHI]

13. They are getting hysterical

Which is a good sign.

8. I'm going in to work tomorrow morning to retire retroactively.....

and I expect to be paid at least $100K a year but not to come to work for the next three years.

How that will go over?

[uponit7771]

9. Whe is Gregory having 2 reps on his show talking about Bain!?!??!?

[JoePhilly]

16. He's trying to make it a fair fight!!

[mucifer]

11. Sure sounds like something only wealthy people can do.

[Spazito]

12. LOL, well then, I guess his disclosure document...

filings both for his run for Governor and now in his run for the Presidency were false and that's a big "oh oh".

Damn, there has to be a crap load of evidence out there yet to be made public for Romney's mouthpiece to go 'there'.

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. I always retire and quit jobs retroactively

That's a totally normal thing that most Americans completely understand, this retroactive retirement.

It's just like when I am the sole owner, chief executive officer, chairman of the board, and managing director of my company, but don't have any actual influence on what happens in the company. Most Americans have had that experience, no?

Totally relate, dude!

[GarroHorus]

17. iIs rhat anything like retroactively becoming a virgin?

[Sedona]

19. I'm going to do that tomorrow

right after I get retroactively pregnant.

[ananda]

29. Like Princess Caroline did...

... when Prince Rainier said he would pay 4 million?

These rich folks... just priceless what money will buy.

[gollygee]

20. I have a friend who got pregnant and then got married and joked that it was OK because she'd gotten

retroactively married. As I said in the other thread about this, the statement reminds me of her joke. Which was funny. Hard to believe someone would say that in an attempt to be serious.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Sounds like the marriage anulment

versus divorce, where the marriage is retroactively declared to not have occurred in the first place. Guess this is now applying to work histories and what not.

[UTUSN]

21. R#8 & K n/t

[rufus dog]

23. holy crap, just watching out here on the West Coast

Gillespe won't even answer a simple question on outsourcing.

No response on the Olympic uniforms.

He just spent 5 minutes stuttering.

[HooptieWagon]

24. What a crock of shit.

I imagine the comedians and comic strips are gonna have a field day with that one...

[JHB]

25. "He was bitten by a retroactive spider and got amazing powers!"

He can jump to any position, slam dunk the primary bullies, and my, that underwear.

A little thing like retroactive retirement? Pshaw, he could do that easier than beating The Newt.

[nc4bo]

27. Wait. What?

These people are doing some serious crazy talk.

[Ghost of Huey Long]

30. oh my gawd, they are really losing it. Is Karl Rove on vacation?

I mean, it was probably pretty hard to come up with something to explain Romney's lies...but that is the best they can do?

In between laughing my ass off, I almost feel sorry for how pathetic they have become.

[HooptieWagon]

31. Maybe magic underwear gives him time travel powers...

So, if I retroactively retire from a bunch of jobs, can I make a career of being paid for no work?
