Mitt Romney (remember him? me neither) is giving John McCain a Valentine’s Day gift of all of his delegates as a way of showing his deep abiding love for the aging octogenarian :
Republican campaign dropout Mitt Romney agreed Thursday to endorse Sen. John McCain for the party’s presidential nomination and ask his national convention delegates to swing behind the likely nominee, according to officials familiar with the decision.
Romney collected 280 delegates during his run through the early primaries and caucuses, enough to move McCain close to the total of 1,191 needed to clinch the nomination a full nine months before the November general election.
At $40 million that comes out to…carry the four…hmmm…hmmm, about $142 thousand and change per delegate. Niiiiiice. Just a reminder that every gift begins with 142K…

Romney’s gesture wasn’t so much a gift to McCain. Instead, it was more like a kick in the crotch to Huckleberry. Don’t be dissin’ the lunatic wing of the Christianist theological party!
No mention of a plan for McCain to adopt some of the Junior Mitts, or for Meghan McCain to marry one of them so they can spawn the future of the Republican party.
You know…the Antichrist.
I’m sorry Mr. Bogg, but if you’re going to continue to opine on the presidential race, each post must be accompanied by a picture of Meghan “Dad, your phone is so hawt!” McCain.
And if she’s going to carry the demon seed, can we ate least get jon-jon as the dad?
I think it’s “Every kiss begins with 142K”. . .
but that would have to involve Leiberman, so yuk.
Does this mean the 5 brothers are going to join Meghan on the campaign trail? Will this lead to 5 Brothers + 1 blogging?
Watching the teevee news clips of Old John and Willard trying not to recoil from each other while the cameras were rolling was a special little Valentine treat for me. Assuming that John has officially dismissed Willard for the undercard was another little mental chocolate truffle. And the hope that some evilminded camera operator will capture Romney’s expression when it’s announced is the only good thing I could find in Old John’s choosing the Arkansas Elmer Gantry for VP…
