"Was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people?"

That was Mitt Romney's pretty petty response to a question about Governor Sarah Palin, referencing her appearance on Time magazine's list of most influential people.

Well some YouTube savvy Palin supporters decided that they weren't going to take the remark lying down:

"There's a Bore in the Woods" is a spoof of a Ronald Reagan campaign ad from 1984 that used a bear and ominous narration to question Walter Mondale's preparedness for dealing with the Soviet Union:

I look forward to what will surely be a harsh YouTube retort from Romney's supporters, perhaps referencing 1952's "I Like Ike" ad. Hey, a guy can dream.

Update: HuffPo's Jason Linkins points out that Romney himself was on People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People list in 2002:

Digg!

Be very wary of the Palins now. Everything they say is for effect and does not necessarily reflect any truth within their hearts. I know Scientology. It's a cult designed to manipulate people's minds. Be wary!

Persephone

The lustrous goddess answered, never pausing,
‘Royal son of Laertes, Odysseus, born for exploits,
let no lack of a pilot at the helm concern you, no,
just step your mast and spread your white sail wide—
sit back and the North Wind will speed you on your way.
But once your vessel has cut across the Ocean River
You will raise a desolate coast and Persephone’s Grove,
Her tall black poplars, willows whose fruit dies young.

The Odyssey , Homer.
Book 10, p. 246 2.

LET HILLARY AND SARAH FIGHT IT OUT AND ELECT OPRAH FOR PRESIDENT

And maybe we can stop the charade that nearly RUINED this country and get the damned out-of-touch ELITISTS in government OUT of the stealing our taxpayer dollars for their embezzling, gambling friends to waste again.

IF SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, I WOULD WANT ANN RICHARDS, THE FORMER AND FORMIDABLE TEXAS GOVERNOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE. ANN KNEW HOW TO DO BUSINESS AND GET THINGS DONE AND SHE DIDN'T GIVE YOU ANY ELITIST B.S. EITHER!

Hilary is a child of elite privilege and thinks she was born to RULE over the common folk. Sarah Palin is not from po'folks either so who is she trying to fool. Let's her and Hilary fight it out because neither one of them need to be in the White House.

Oprah knows how to make money and manage it well too or she would have lost everything by now.
Who better suited for the Presidency of the United States? It's about time we had a STRONG, BLACK WOMAN as President!
She's rich enough that she wouldn't have to steal like so many of these politicans have to do and she is a class act and knows how to resolve problems efficiently.
I am sure we could find someone equally as valid for Vice President AND we could end up putting Judge Joe Brown, Judge Maybelline and Judge Judy on the Supreme Court which would make as much sense as the idiots who are there and citing INTERNATIONAL LAW as Precedent. Er, the last time I heard, THIS IS STILL THE SOVEREIGN REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WE HAVE OUR OWN LAWS THAT APPLY HERE.
For director of Homeland Security we could have former sheriff and TV host John Bonnell who is a member of a minority himself.Makes more sense than Jerry Springer I guess...

NEWS FLASH: Romney is the Republicans' Greatest Hope

I know he has a history of unsavory ellegations about organized labor and organized crime support ala RICHARD NIXON...
And I know that he was unfairly shut out of the Presidental race when Clinton-like smear tactics were used against him when his RELIGION became an issue. ( Donny & Marie Osmond were Mormons too but it never stopped anyone from buying their albums or watching their TV show and Glen Beck is also a Mormon).
SO WHAT?
BARACK OBAMA's MUSLIM background didn't seem to matter so was it REALLY RELIGION that kept Romney out of the race after all? I wonder.
Richard Nixon was an evil and corrupt man whose infamous "Checkers" speech belied the huge amounts of illegal campaign cash contributions he was getting from the international bankseters and organized crime when he was in California!
Sad to say, Romney reminds me a LOT of Nixon back in the day with the same kind of backers...EVEN SADDER, he appears to be the Rpublican Party's greatest hope unless a MIRACLE happens and they get a REAL candidate with REAL change that will HELP ordinary working people --not like either one of the TWO OUT OF TOUCH ELITIST- WHO ARE RUNNING THINGS FOR THE ELITES,BY THE ELITES AND TO THE ELITES!

Sailing over a cardboard sea.
The make believe "republicans" seem to be running out of gas, rhetorical and otherwise. They keep recycling the same old faces dashed hopes, and discredited ideas, ad infinitum, with little or no success. It appears there are limits as to how many times dirty lies can be told before even the most gullible and obtuse people refuse to believe them as the truth. Losing power is kind of like getting shot; you don't feel much pain at first. Then the shock wears off and the pain begins. The rethugs are hurting now, and like a wounded predator are all the more dangerous for it.
