MITT ROMNEY'S BLUE JEANS

MITT ROMNEY'S BLUE JEANS

I've been watching Mitt during his trips to the heartland. I notice that, in order to appear to be one of the “folks”, Mitt has taken to wearing blue jeans. He still wears the business shirt, but the sleeves are rolled up, dammit, and Mitt's ready to get in there and pitch right in with the hay baling or the barn raising or whatever it is that these people do.

The only problem is that Mitt just doesn't look comfortable in jeans. For one thing, they're too new, ain't been washed once, I betcha. Rather than a man of the people, Mitt looks just plain uneasy in his newish, bluish, purple denim trousers.

My wife actually owned two Cadillacs once. And having been around rich people, she assures me that Mitt is no doubt familiar with the feel of jeans and that he probably is in the habit of wearing them when he mows his lawn, changes the oil on his car, or fiddles with the outboard motor of his bass boat. He just wants to look nice and sharp for the voters, despite his humble beginnings.  And he has magic underwear and is very kind to his pets.

I'm sure she's right.
