While President Uppity McBlahman was drone-raping Lady Liberty and ordering a hit on Nancy Reagan, first runner-up Mitt Romney was kicking back at his La Jolla beach temple, soaking up the rays and trying to ignore the sound of wailing coming from Ann’s dancing horse dojo:
It’s chilly on the Capitol steps today, but that’s no problem for Mitt Romney.
The former Republican presidential contender is spending Inauguration Day at his home in La Jolla, Calif., where it’s sunny with a forecasted high of 73 degrees.
An aide told NBC News that the former Massachusetts governor and his wife have “no big plans.”
Asked if the governor was likely to watch the inaugural ceremonies today, the aide said, “Doubtful.”
Also … a reminder to all of the people who gave Mitt hundreds of millions of dollars to waste over two presidential election cycles:
Romney’s son Tagg told The Boston Globe in December that his father was never really all that into winning the nation’s highest office anyway.
“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life,” Tagg told the newspaper. “He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention.”
Now Romney just spends his days skipping Romney/Ryan 2012 buttons on the water between waves and yelling at the stoners to get the H-E-double-hockey-sticks off of his beach.

Mitt who?
Mitt “Mitt the 47th Lord of Etch-A-Sketchia” Romney? Winner of the 2012 and runner-up of the 2008 Republican presidential primaries?
No?
Guy who strapped the family dog to the roof of the pea-green family truckster?
No?
The White Horse destined for the White House?
No?
Anybody but Mitt?
Ringing a bell yet?
I actually bet they watched while just full on seething with rage. But felt a bit better when L’il Munster Buddy got booed.
Couldn’t have happened to a better set of folks, bless their tiny, shriveled little hearts.
At least tonight he won’t be suffering from writers’ cramp from signing all those executive orders repealing all the shit he was gonna repeal on “Day One.”
(Also, I wonder if he has submitted that amended Rafalca tax return yet…)
No his hand’s just cramped from “other stuff” since Ann banished him to one of their 17 guest bedrooms. And even that nice crown he bought her from Harry Winston’s STILL didn’t cut it.
Not a good idea him retiring there. Right after the debates them Big Birds started shitting all over the rocks and raising a stench on his private beach.
I’ll be the first to admit that the Cove is quite a distance to Romney’s home in Bird Rock. Time geography fail.
he’s busy telling people that HE came in 2d, but that the Interloper came in next to last.
This:
Plus this:
can only mean one thing.
Massive butthurt over losing!!
Poor widdle Willard. His destiny denied him by a BLAH person who doesn’t even have as much money as he does! Life is just krewl sometimes.
The best part was not having W hanging around in DC.
Although it would have been good for raw egg sales in the DC area.
Just like in 2001 when he was egged so many times in his inaugural parade.
And we do have to remember how he really helped O get elected in 2008.
In fairness to Time, they were only referring to his “new hometown”, not to the beach outside his window. Anyway, can’t be too much distance between the potheads and the pelicans.
Shorter Tagg:
We’re sore Losers eating sour grapes. Eff the 99%. Get offa my Bishop Dad’s beach!
Do you really think he would have acted particularly different if he had been elected?
“Really, how much of a show do we have to put on for these people? Ann, fine, everyone’s seen your dress. No, we’re not dancing. Let’s go.”
Aw, jeezle pete, that’s so sad.
Mr. Bogg, have you considered taking the boys over there to cheer him up? If you do, just beware The Watchers. Their eyes have no functioning lids; they are watching… always watching.
Queen Ann does NOT like your blog or these distasteful comments.
YOU will never receive magic underwear or an invite to watch her ride. Pity.
Dayum! Are those grapes or lemons?
One thing is for sure, members of Romney’s “team” are busy with the group “Americans for a Strong Defense”, which have been behind a commercial playing in my area, trying to stop the appointment of Chuck Hagel.
You mean Matt? Like Matt Damon???? I Heard he’s running for something.
Why do they keep calling him governor???
He ain’t no friggin’ governor.
WEll, I for one, think Romney was the most deserving loser in my 61 years. Easily outpaced all previous losers in lack of integrity, inadequate qualifications for office and genuine unlikability.
His wife is an uppity bitch too.
I DO like their horse.
Sore loser? I like that all those folks who gave him so much money have a sad; one wonders how stupid they must be? If that’s the word.
I wonder how SHE feels about HIM now.
Bev, I think the decisive point was the tax returns. Not that the 47% comment didn’t ice it.
But, in all honesty, I haven;t enjoyed a presidential election night quite that much in a really long time.
And, I wouldn’t mind an elevator for my cars.
Oh, one last note. I saw somebody who had a McCain/Palin AND a Romney/Ryan bumper sticker on their car.
The had tried to scrape OFF the Romney/Ryan one.
Peculiar.
Hugely reminiscent of the A. Richard’s remark about Sr. Bush: He can’t he’p it; he was born with a silver foot in his mouth. For Rom. it would be more like a pair; he really could not help himself. Thanks.
Romney fibbed and flipped flopped and said whatever voters wanted to hear because he didn’t really want to win.
And spent enormous sums of money trying to buy his way into the office. Exactly what I do when I don’t really want something.
So what was Mitt’s life about between 1992 and 2012, if not positioning himself to run for president. I never ran once, let alone twice, for an office I did not want.
Save it, Tagg. No one is that gullible.
Same reason Bill Clinton is still called Mr. President. Politicians never lose their titles, even if they were acting Mayor for a year.
It’s stupid, but there it is.
He’s going the route of GWB, who is probably one of the most low-profile ex-presidents of recent history (seriously, even Nixon had more of a public life before Jimmy Carter left office); he may not be getting drunk every day, but Joseph Smith never said anything about prescription opiates, say.
Now, you never know…. Maybe he just wanted to make sure that the Mittspawn didn’t get another dime after he shuffled off this mortal coil.
I get the impression that Mitt is more of a hair shirts and floggers sort of guy. Just a hunch.
