Yes, Romney Really Did Introduce Ryan as the ‘Next President of the United States’

Does it get any worse? First Mitt picks a frickin’ aircraft carrier for his big announcement. Hmmmm…why does that ring a bell? Oh yeah, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Then he introduces his new running mate, Sen. Paul Ryan, as “the next president of the United States.” Next, after his people offstage tell him what a stooge he is, he interrupts Ryan’s big moment to correct himself.

The two of them look like they’re sharing a suit. Mitt got the tie and Ryan got the jacket. Maybe if they shared a brain, Mitt would finally have half of one.

Can’t believe Romney did this one, calling Ryan the Next President. His wife did something unthoughtful to, calling the US people ‘you People’, in explaining her husband’s not giving up his tax statements.
