His Loathsomeness
In the annoying speculations on semi-Utahn Mitt Romney as John McCain's vice presidential running mate, finally something fresh . . .Michael Yglesias at Atlantic.com reminds McCain that despite Romney's conservative credentials and lots and lots (and lots) of money, Republicans still dumped Mitt in the primaries because "basically, people find him loathesome."
Some find him loathesome because of his religion, some because of his flip-flopping, and others just because he's loathesome. But whatever the reason, people just really don't like Mitt Romney
Nevertheless, Yglesias admits (and I agree) that a McCain-Romney ticket would fill an important national need.
Putting him on the ticket seems like an obvious recipe for disaster, but a potential boon to progressive bloggers who are really in need of a mockable choice.

Bingo! Yglesias took the words right out of my . . . whatever. I once, following the Olympics, sat with Romney for 15 minutes in a car. I found him utterly boring. He couldn't stop talking about himself.
He is loathesome and that's why he's so popular with the Utah dominant-church culture. Another word I'd use for Romney - it sort of fits all of our Congressional delegation - is repugnant.
He's got the personality of a loathesome, repugnant cuspidor.
Thanks, Michael.
King, I couldn't follow your leap in logic...why DO members of the state's predominant religion like loathesome people? Maybe your own bias mistakenly crept in?? Another little dig?
I am beginning to think that Warchol and King are the same people.
Both are bitter, angry-at-life liberals who have a semi-sexual obsession with Mitt Romney.
King! You're back! Great to hear your stupidity again! As always, you must have an anti-religion comment in your post....let's see...where is....ah here we go:
"He is loathesome and that's why he's so popular with the Utah dominant-church culture"
You are so sad and lonely. Can I hug you?
"Look Mom. I used cuspidor in a sentence!"
"Now Simba, that's not a nice thing to say about a person. Run along and play and practice your roar. Someday you'll be King. Oh, and don't go near Uncle Scar and those hyenas over at the Trib."
