Mitt to quitt. Really. No shitt.
Security at CPAC has been instructed to take away a sobbing Hugh Hewitt’s belt and shoelaces. Kathryn Jean Lopez will never love again….
The kids are always the last to know.
Your not going to have Mittens to kick around anymore, so who is next? McCain or Huckabee? Decisions, decisions…
Mitt, we hardly knew ye.
Seriously. What an empty suit.
Over his political career, Mitt has taken enough positions to create a Mormon Kama Sutra. (Ooh, now there’s an idea whose time is past…)
HA! He is stepping down because he HAS TO IN THIS TIME OF WAR! He knows how to leave us laughing.
We’re still gonna have our Sunday Five Brothers fix, aren’t we?
Pleeeeease?
Please, please post the k-lo response…..
It should be priceless…
The Edsel of politics is gone – but don’t despair there will be more
MarkedHoosier,
Yeah, I thought his closing remarks were precious, too.
“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror…”
Shorter Mitt: I suck so badly that a black guy or a woman could beat me, so I’m outta here.
Nice way to leave us lefty traitors with love in our hearts for the man that gave us so much pleasure for so many months. The tough sell: now he’s gotta go home and explain all of this to the boys and try to make them love his sorry quitting ass for something other than the spare change that’s left over after he blew thru their nest egg like a randy sailor in a foreign port.
TBogg,
Lemme just take this opportunity to say that you have provided the best damn Mitt coverage of anybody, anywhere. With the 5Bros, the wives/kids, and even the dog, you were there, on top of it, under it, to the sides….
In fact, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that you had a part in bringing the Mittster down.
Could you get to work on McCain?
I will miss the Mittster….he has such nice hair.
What do you mean I’m fired?
Fuck you, I quit!
Only $40 mill?
Shoot, the Mittster could’ve bankrolled another Left Behind movie for that kind of scratch, and still had something left over for the Five Brothas.
I’m disappointed. I was hoping he would stay in long enough to top Rudy Giuliani’s dollar-per-delegate record.
I just got off the phone with a young man who is attending the CPAC (as an avid participant, not as a snark-searcher), he’s a Hillsdale grad, loves him some VDH, and he said the place was shocked.
Shocked I tell you! That Mittster loaded up the station wagon, took his magic underwear and went the fuck home.
Let’s draft Fred Thompson again!

Is this a case of quitting to spend less time with your family?
BTW, I want names and addresses of those people at the Romney blog. I’ve got numerous bridges to sell.
I won’t miss those crazy eyes and that Ward Cleaver clip-art bod.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. This comment is also waiting for John Cole to get back online as I am sure there is much rejoicing over there.
Another live update from on scene correspondent — I paraphrase, but not much.
“Mitt won our straw poll at last year’s CPAC, but it’s funny how he did it. The reason he won is because he spent more than 300-thousand dollars to buy room and board as well as cover travel expenses for a few hundred college students attending the conference. All they had to do was wear the Mitt t-shirt and spend some time passing out pamphlets, balloons and buttons.
“Then, Laura Ingraham came on stage and gave a great, roaring introduction about how we need to get behind the one conservative candidate (Mitt). Someone’s being an asshole here, because then Mitt came on and said he was dropping out of the race. I have never seen anything like that before. You should’ve seen the looks on the faces of people who have been working for Mitt for a long time, with a lot of effort. All I heard after that was ‘I gotta go make a phone call.’”
I’ll miss him not a whitt.
In the file of Trapper John = genius:
The two most recent candidates he picked to win the nomination are the only two left, not counting Paul. And neither of these gentlemen had any money at this point last summer.
So The Five served their country by campaigning for the Mitt but now they will serve their country by shutting the fuck up…Re-defining patriotism one Romney at a time…
MrsTbogg: he was one of the very few GOP candidates that wasn’t a baldie.
Ooops sorry, non PC. “Follicularly challenged”
But now that he’s out of the race, he can get back to his day job at the Animatronics exhibit at Disneyland.
Dr. Bogg, you’ve cured your disease. Time to pick a new malady. With the McCain beat being slim pickings, you have to hope he throws us a bone and picks Lieberman as VP candidate.
First of all, fuck “follicularly challenged”. Say it loud, I’m bald and I’m proud!
Second, don’t you mean “…as the Animatronics exhibit at Disneyland”?
Tom Brady and Tagg Romney — it’s been quite a week for the loser twins. Of course, Tagg may actually win by losing, unlike Brady. At least he gets 1/5 of whatever’s left in the Romney fortune.
Fortune said Romney had $250 million, and there are plenty of suckers left at the Belmont Temple. Even if he never recoups the $40 mil he’s supposed to have dropped on his (latest) vanity campaign, there’s plenty left to keep the Five Bros off welfare. At least until the Democrats manage to pass the much-feared confiscatory Death Tax. (Insert humorous sound effect here.)
