Who Knew a Mitt Romney Rap Video Would Be So Very Watchable?

Posted by on Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 9:01 AM

This video is making the rounds, and it is incredible. It makes the glory days of Autotune the News look like amateur hour. This is required viewing:

Uh... with regards to abortion... uh....
You can choose your own adventure.
It's a Republican dementia.
And I'm more concerned about the banks: they're unable to lend.
Corporations are people my friend.
My dog is on the roof. My dog is on the roof.
Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?
Understand I'm an exception. The Obama contraception.
Not a vulture, I'm an eagle.
Look I'm gonna get my lawn cut by illegals.
There will be an influx. Hispanic voters in trucks.
Look, if you don't believe, I'll tell you what, ten thousand bucks?
Well, I made a lot of money matter of factually.
I drive a couple of Cadillacs actually.

The great thing about Mitt Romney is his total lack of a personality makes exceedingly well-edited videos like this a possibility. You can insert whatever personality you want into his head for the sake of a joke, because there's no there there.

Paul, this is awesome. The best art out of this campaign (yet). Want to back it with Negativland's "Christianity Is Stupid."
